Tabletop Miniatures

Loving this color pallet. I was surprised how well that turquoise goes with the red. I'm now trying to decide how much weathering I want to do. They're shiny but these are working girls.

The second of a two mini pack containing two generic Orc Adventurers. The first was painted some time ago, but I finally got around to painting his partner yesterday. Didn't touch the spell effects, as I want to do some more research into the best approach for that, as this is will be my first time painting translucent plastic.

Overall, he could stand to be much neater, but every time I went in to clean something up, I wound up slopping paint somewhere I didn't want it. So, I decided to just hit it with a couple washes to hide my mistakes and call it a day. I might go back in tonight to reapply highlights in a few areas, but I'm mostly just pleased to have reduced my pile of shame by one figure.

My players will soom have an underwater adventure and I used that as an excuse to finally put some paint on these bad girls & boys

Some more angles.

Was shooting for an evangelion look, but Cowabunga it is!

Blood Angels conversion ideas

A few months ago, I caught a neighbour throwing out a huge collection of 40k and fantasy stuff. Naturally I asked them not to do that, but give it all to me.

I went from having a couple of squads here and there to owning several armies. Thankfully a lot of the fantasy stuff was unpainted, but the blood angels army I got was pretty horribly painted.

I am planning stripping the paint off and repainting them. The only problem is, is that I find blood angels quite boring (both lore and paint scheme).

I was wondering of there was a way to convert them to something else other than the classic chaos conversions.

Also, it would be nice to keep sculpting to a minimum, since I have about 30-50 various infantry units, 6 boxy dreadnaughts and 4-6 tanks.

I was thinking legion of the damned or sons of malice but I’m open to any and all suggestions.

A Terminator I finished over the weekend. The camera picked up a lot of little scratches that aren't seen by the naked eye. Especially on the hazard stripes on the Power Fist.

Edit: in case the pictures don't work, here is a link to my Pixelfed post I linked the pictures from.

I have been using speed paints mostly before but now want to switch for a few models to using fully opaque paints. I like the vallejo colors, I do have some of their washes that I use for terrain.

I am on a budget atm so I wonder what would be the essential color palette to cover most fantasy vibes with?

I am not talking about NMM, but the true metal colors. What is you favorite?
