Love the GUO did you follow the Warhammer TV tut?

It's a pretty fast model to paint, I really like the extra detailing on the guts.

I think this guy is almost done now? Gonna finish all of them before I get to basing.
There's one glaring mistake on his beard which needs correcting and I think his green lens needs work, but other than that I am happy to let him take his place in command of the fleet.
 

Try adding some medium to your shade just a drop to thin it a tad or you could use some retarder to slow the drying process, don't overload your brush.

What did you shade the gold with, Seraphim sepia?

Thanks guys! 

For the selective shading you've both suggested, I imagine it's best achieved by a wash - do you know the best way to stop the wash from having that "tide mark" it so often gets? I often struggle on horns with the gradiation, even following Master Duncan's tips ends up with if looking far more layered that gradual - the horns on the Chaos Lord seem to be total luck as they ended up looking great and I couldn't really identify any material difference in technique.

As for high contrast shading, I think that's because so far I've done the typical base, wash, layer, edge without pushing to a further and final edge highlight, mainly because nurgling green is the top end of the greens and I usually use screaming skull for the last layer. I suppose mixing the two is going to be the way to achieve the best highlight?

 

To stop the tide mark water the wash down more with Lahmian medium and apply a couple of coats, regarding contrast don't be scared to go bold with your highlights, a tiny spot highlight will make the viewer focus on that part so use it to draw attention to a particular area.

You don't have to use green to highlight green, experiment on a test model, using say yellow, white, orange will add a dynamic to the model. Experiment is the key.

Watch lots of videos from different painters and find a style that suits you and copy what they do.

W&N Series 7 are my goto brush they are amazing, expensive but worth it.

I think you have done a very good job so far and pushing yourself is a very satisfying aspect of this hobby, keep it up.

They look really good I especially like the pipe, any ideas on colour schemes?

That's great to hear! And yes that's right, a 4'x4' table with double the terrain :-) (mentioned on page 7 of Hinterlands)!  

 

How did I miss that, I read it over and over as well.

Hi guys I played my first game yesterday with my son and we loved it, one question is the game best played on a 4x4 table?
