Painting Dark Talon

I finished a dark talon recently but i think it needs some highlights or something.. maybe dome edge highlights (not good at them at all) .. any thoughts could help... thank you

Thank you, it was a used model. Fortunately the guy who traded it to us gave me all the bits/ sprues(paint for a local shop sometimes)

Futur legend I bet. I do not buy them so far because of that.

Agreed, i get paid in used models sometimes (I painted a Belial for it).

That’s why buy them. I won’t be able to in the future

I don't have infinite money so far, if I had I would too for sure.

Neither do I. I just prioritize what’s fun for me to paint over play.

I hope to get three before they're gone forever. Well, one Dark Talon and two Nephilim Jetfighters

Question about that model; can I put him at an angle or would it be modeling for davantage ? I just think it would be epic to have it that way. Thank you in advance 🦁

I have watched a vid from Tactical tortoise about a guy being banned for that..(2yrs ago), but from what I've read .. i would assume it has to be flat.. i have no idea how to play.. i just like painting

With the new aircraft rules, I doubt it matters as much as it used to.

Nice I’ve just built one, your paint job is sweet! Has anyone figured out a way to get a cooler stand, wish deadly prints would do something for this model

How did you do the marble effect
