    My first model that I have painted for Warhammer, I probably should have started with some small skinks first but I was excited to paint something flashy! (I have painted a couple D&D minis in the past) I learned alot and im excited to see where else this army takes me. Paint scheme inspired from Monster Hunter's Tigrex.

    That's an awesome start with Warhammer and welcome! :)

    Color scheme is pretty unique and refreshing and once you get into shades/washes and highlights I bet you will have a lot of additional fun haha!

    Thank you! :D I tried washing him but it was a disaster, (had to redo my entire base coat) my new goal is to try colored washes and see how that plays out. I did also attempt highlighting on most of his scales but boy I need to figure out how to get those tiny, smooth lines going. I bought some flow-aid to see if that helps at all for my next attempts :p and I'm really digging the lore/aesthetic and the game play so far! My lizards keep expanding lol

    Welcome and what a fine start you have.

    I like the color combination going on there :artist:
    Also like the basing, are those all plastic plant or are some of them paper?

    Keep up the good work

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Fantastic for a first attempt!

    I can't recommend highly enough looking up instructional videos from Duncan Rhodes on YouTube and also beginners guide to painting by MidWinterMinis.

    As someone who just restarted painting after 25 years, I found these super helpful.

    I will absolutely have to check out the videos! The plants are aquarium plants that I trimmed/painted. Definitely plan on ordering some different ones and touching those up some :) today I figured out blending a little and I'm doing little hand prints on all my lads. (The skink with the much better shading was todays improvement)
