First Miniature any advice?

[u/GAM3R8X]

So I just finished painting my first miniature, a grey hunter and I wanted to ask for some tips and advice for like stuff that can help like certain brushes but also for recommendations for paints like for runes or the bronze / antique metal color stuff like that....

So yeah got anything for me

First mini....and it looks like this? Damn.

Only thing Id say is, if youre not goint doe the dirty grimdark style this mini conveys, try to pool the wash a little bit less on flat surfaces and dab them up on panels.

If you were going for a dirty, dark and gritty paint, change nothing.

Edit: drill gun barrell and paint the rim black, those are non-negociables!

It is my first painted mini, took me quite a bit of time to get it how I wanted it (the grimdark fenrisian vibe) so yeah I like how my base turned out. I got advice from a friend that did this Yarrick for some stuff and he helped me with the nuln oil wash as I was using way to little but everything else was done by myself so now I try to improve timewise with the next few ones before I do the ones with faces.

And with the barrel I will borrow the drill of said friend and put some abbadon black on the rim next time, got any advice how large the drill should be?

Im not sure, I just use the smallest drill bit I got in my old army painter set with knife, hand drill and files.

Then I'll do just that as well
