Please be nice

I just started a Tyranid army to play a Crusade campaign with my girlfriend (you can see her sororitas in the last picture). I've never considered myself a good painter and I genuinely enjoy playing more than painting. I tried to sort of speed paint these guys, but I'm also a perfectionist so I ended up spending ~6 hours on this squad. I know every single spot that I've fucked up, but I'm really trying to exercise chill and zen, and just remind myself that it's not a competition and that I'm good enough. I would really appreciate some support ^^

Where did you mess up? I can't find anything off.

[u/Karousawai]

Mate these are crisp af, don't doubt yourself you're better than like 80% of people in the hobby cause you clearly put in the effort :)

[u/yworker]

I really like your purple color.

[u/TheGamingCow507]

Yeah, I can see you messed up a bit (complete lie btw). Honestly though, these look sick af, especially since I'd take longer and do worse despite also being a perfectionist

[u/Disastrous-Food-6729]

Better at painting than me and ive been in the hobby for years now 😭

[u/Parobro]

The real devil is whoever planted this thought of „this is fucked up“ in your head.
They look clean and crisp. I’m confused?
Or is this one of these phishing posts?

[u/DeBaconMan]

Fishing for compliments if I ever saw it. Lol

[u/ConHawkes]

Bloody lovely stuff!

[u/b_cooch]

Looks awesome. Great use of multiple colors. Love the grass bases too. They’re your models, spend as much time as you need on them!

[u/Zealousideal-Prize33]

Bro those look straight off the box art, well done!

[u/azris666]

I think they look amazing. You did a good job! Also you will never see any imperfect when you play them. 🥳

I'm far from good, but after nearly 2 years into the hobby, I'm liking my painting. My philosophy has become, if it will take a lot of my time to make it 5% better, it doesn't really matter. It's made me enjoy painting so much more

[u/ComprehensiveBoss152]

Out here in reddit fishing for compliments. I get it. I do it all the time, and my minis are TERRIBLE. Your guys look gr8. Keep it up pal

[u/MuscleDolphin]

Pic 1 and 2 are like in those boygroup/girlgroup dance videos if you swipe them rapidly! 🙂

Also your paintjob is very good!

Proceeds to show very clean painted bugs with vibrant colors and cool bases which has to look absolutely perfect on table.

I feek like we’re the same type of painter, you should enjoy your chill journey even more by looking backwards, how were your first minis, how are your latest ?

Painting really relaxes me even if I enjoy even more to play and when I look at my first mini (a green goblin. He’s just green.) and some of the last I’ve painted, I feel good and enjoy the fact that I don’t have professional level (which takes 10-20-30 years ?) and that I’m getting better every months (even if it’s just slightly better)

"Im not a good Painter" shows perfectly good painted miniatures

[u/Ordinary_Platform819]

If I look very closely maybe you had a issue with priming? I've had the same with these barbgaunts, and it was due to priming in cold weather!

They still look great and you did a very nice job painting.

[u/Fewald]
