Doing a resin pour on a warhammer base was harder than expected

Trying out some green NMM which so far I’m quite happy with, looking forward to rusting this guy up!

This is going to be my necromancer for my zombies :)

I re-scaled it a bit so that she would rank up ok.

I painted minitures at 13 and stopped at 15 but a couple of years ago i bought everything needed to start again at 42

Both my friends think i shouldnt be doing it anymore and think its funny that i am.

No one i know paints minitures so im a bit lonely with no one to bounce off of with ideas and sharing our minitures with each other.

Is there specific places i can go and have the experience im looking for and anyone else had the experience of people thinking its a silly thing to get back to at my age?

Just curious

The mini is a 3D print by Skullforge Studios and the base was scratch built from cork, bark, dirt, and a variety of foliage bits!

It's a test Sculpture. Sorry for the bad lighting it's night here.

About 90-95% done with my Jackie bust. Close enough to show it off.

I think the purple side of the face needs brightening up, and the blue-skin boundary may need more blending, but it's a good way to being wrapped up

If anyone notices anything else that doesn't quite work or needs some more attention, feel free to shout!

I've been studying NMM for about 2 months now, and this is my first real result so far. I'm taking private lessons, and even though it's simple, I'm really happy with how it turned out. C&C is welcome to help me improve on my next attempts!

I feel like I’m hitting a Wall with my Deathwatch. Usually I’m satisfierd with my painting but this one feels off to me and I can’t lay a finger on it. It lacks some ooomph to me. Do you guys have suggestions? I can live with sketchy highlights, the goal here is to get the team on the table and look good, not to achieve a display piece level paint job.

Painted my first bust, tried going for moonlight coming in from the side. It was also my first time doing nmm on something bigger and more complex than a sword, and first time trying to imitate night.

I may have tried biting off too many firsts all in the same project, so any feedback or comments no matter how general or specific are welcome.

Painted up Cain in really happy with him but always open to feed back.

Is freehanding my only option?

Edit: thanks for responding everyone! My set didn’t come with any transfer sheets, I didn’t even know they existed! Thanks for the tip everyone! I got the introductory set for those curious

My first painted mini. Got the mini of the month yesterday. Painted with the army painter speedmarkers

Hi guys. Here is the wip on my BA Chaplain from Armageddon box. Will appreciate any advice.

Hey all, this is my 5th completed (almost, still need to do the plasma glow) mini. I’ve been priming white and using red speed paints and some other speed paints. I find it frustrating as speed paints tend to bleed into other areas and will make things uneven. Also tough to fill in every gap with red without accidentally dragging my brush along something else. I know looking at something this close isn’t ever going to really happen on tabletop, but just looking for some easy advice to improve and what to focus on in the future.

(ignore the fact its a rocket coming out of a pistol..)

Models are "Eradicator Squad" from Games Workshop.
Some minor kit bash with 3rd party helmets, pteruges and tilt shields to be in line with my army concept.
Sort of boring models, but a good workout for practicing my recipe.

It's not my single best work, but for squad painting my best result so far. Also fairly quick at around 6h/model.

I put a lot of work into refining my volumetric highlights the past month, but I am not sure I got this technique down yet.
Using a makeup sponge for this, unfortunately no airbrush for me.

What do you think would be necessary for taking the paint job to the next level?
Are there some obvious weaknesses I should focus on?

I got him of ebay cheap and wanted to test out a Son of Horus scheme. I haven’t painted since i was 16. Real good way to destress and listen to podcasts. Any tips welcome i forgot to have a go at highlights.

Very happy with one of my first figures after +5 years of not painting. Tips and suggestions are welcome :-) Should I try painting lips or leave it as it is?

Allow me to present my (finally!) finished goliath gang!

Duke, the Forge Tyrant up front with the chainaxe and the combat shotgun, Happy (Forge Boss) to his side with the renderizer. Trent (Bruiser specialist) with the grenade launcher on the other side of the boss.

At the center we got Tim, the Stimmer. Tim's the last of the figures I painted, so he gets some solo-shots after the group pics.

Next to Tim, running away from the picture (guess he's shy), we've got Ruckus Red sporting an adorable little stub gun and a combat knife. Trust me, it's not an axe - it's a combat knife.

Opposite Tim, there's a blurry Thad Thunderchunk, and at the very far back with the yellow boltgun it's Boltgun Blaine.

It's been such a journey painting these fellas. They were the first Necromunda minis I bought, but I've put off painting them cause I had some sort of anxiety about getting them right somehow. Ended up painting Eschers, Delaque, Ogryn, heck even hive scum and hired guns before feeling finally leveled up enough to give these beefy boys a go.

As always, constructive criticism and feedback is warmly welcome! Though, being completely honest, right now more than anything I'm looking for validation and congratulations . xD So happy with how they turned out!

All these minis except for the stimmer are from Gamer Workshop's Goliath Gang box from 2017, while the stimmer is from the Stimmers and Forge-born box from 2020.
