sry, good painting but i think white primer is not good for the imps... i paint it with black primer. The green sucks...

[DirectHitPainting]

@minisofwar that's fine, im just showing you my way of painting them.

im new to IG, can anyone help me pick a good colorscheme? and should i glue the vox casters to the vox guys back before or after i paint them? im debating on it but i wanted a professionals opinion

[DirectHitPainting]

There are many different schemes to pick from but my advice would be to base it off of a Real life example, video game or colors you like. for example, swat or police, desert storm, arctic, woodland, or some crazy scheme that u may find in some sort of war video game. :D

i hadnt thought of that, thanks, secondly, when i was putting together a Guardsman with a flamer it doesnt look like it came out right, the flamer came out farther away then i could get his hand to go, i dont know if i messed up or it wasnt supposed to fit together like that, what do you think?

[DirectHitPainting]

if the arms don't connect like on the box, one of the arms is probably positioned inccorectly, that ok though, an easy fix :D

@minisofwar I use the Xenith prime technique for guardsmen, works perfectly.

Every colour you will need to recreate this: Khemri Brown Dark Angles Green Snot Green Goblin Green Scorpion Green Skull White Thraka Green Wash Dwarf Flesh Cadian Skin Elf Flesh Codex Grey Stone Wall Grey Delvan Mud Khaki (citadel: Kommando Khaki) Bleached Bone

did you add water to the second coat as well?

[godblessolbas]

Your music choice is great, shame about the painting.

Joking of course. Your painting is incredible as well :)

[iluvAUSandScooters]

Why don't people give them a black under coats anymore?

[rdelacruz700]

[legoguy275]
