Painted my first minis ever 🥰

Learned a lot -- but my nids turned out better than expected!!

(I still don't know what to do with the tops of their guns, but idk)

Y'all have a "painting techniques tutorial playlist?

I enjoy Squidmar and Lyla Mev YouTube channels for starting points.

I'll add them to the queue!

These look fantastic!

Anything by Duncan has been great for me, even if the mini he's painting isn't what you are painting.

I hope you made weird nids noises while painting them for better effect

Hi from front page! These are so awesome I can't believe you could do such a fantastic job painting something so tiny and detailed on your first try! I appreciate the vape juice in background really put to scale lol. Keep up with your hobby, I hope it brings you lots of joy!

Thank you!!

Now I need to read the rules properly so I can make it to 2k.

Then again I have a billion mids to paint so I have time.

I don’t even think I knew how to thin the paint my first go.

First time!? Holy cow, my dude, that is good work for any skill level. What paints did you use?
