First army painting

I've painted a couple of figures over the past year or two but this is my first army having tried to get into it a lot more these past few weeks.

I did them all one by one going one colour at a time. Printed on my 3d printer, comments and suggestions are very welcome. I would love to get a lot better!

I don't have any useful advice or anything, just wanted to say I adore them.

Great first go 😁

Great job! It's a whole different thrill to get an entire group done isn't it?

The most important advice is to have fun and keep painting.

The Warhammer 40k community keeps a wonderful list of mini painting YouTube channels that can show all different types of techniques.

Your base colors looks really good so I would suggest playing with shade paints and highlights or basing as next steps to bring them to another level.

Man honestly it takes so long by the end I am so defeated there's no way I could get the willpower to do any shading or highlighting. I imagine with a proper set up and an airbrush it would be much faster and easier to do the basic colouring
