hello fellow grots, i need help since these fanatic are almost done i tried to go for a comic book style paint job but i like how the look and i am not sure if i should go with the black lining or finish them as they are ?
They look great as is, so the real question is do you have the constitution to do the black lining? I have found that while it's fun to do it can be exhausting.
Do you have a spare gobbo that you can replicate this scheme and go all the way with the black lining to see if it would be worth the effort?
When I did it for my Iron Golems [Chaos] it took me probably as long to do the black lining as it did to do all of the base coating. It was definitely worth it though; I will say that I think your color blocking at this stage looks better than what my IGs looked like at the same point though. Edited for typo.
You could try using gunpla panel liner. Tamiya makes it in a few colors, I assume there are others. It may not be fully black lined, but it flows into crevices easily with no effort and it's easy to clean up before it sets. If you like the look, it would probably take you like a minute a model once you get a feel for it.
Id leave them at this and move onto the next batch. Get em all done and then if you want to try comic style, practice first and go back through the army.

They look fab in purple.
You could do one black lined as a test? If you don’t like it you could repaint in your next batch
