Awesome.

I love what you've done with the visor. What paint did you use for that? Fluorescent?

Excellent work! Super clean as always, I like your paint scheme on these troops and the green visors works really well. Nice weathering effects too

Amazing work. I love the texturing of the fabric and the weathering, it makes them look realistic.
The green visors are a great highlight in between the colorscheme.

Keep up the great work

Grrr, Imrahil

Thank you all for the kind words
The visors were painted with roughly a 2:1 mix of Vallejo Fluorescent Green and GW Tesseract Glow, thinned with water and carefully dropped into the lens recesses.

Jesus… You are so frickin’ good at this. I know I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: You should do commissions. You would get so much business with your talent.

Thanks mate, much appreciated
I did actually get approached for a terrain commission a few weeks ago but never heard back after I gave my price lol.

Just stick yourself on Etsy and anything else like this. You just need enough promotion and photos of your previous work.

It's not something I'm actively pursuing to be honest. I'm quite a slow painter and I don't really want to lose out on painting my own stuff too much. If I get asked about commissions though I'm happy to consider offers.

Your weathering work continues to impress, the rust streaks and black soot around the vents look great! When you layer that on top of an already awesome paintjob, the finished product is excellent!

He looks great! I guess each weapon is magnetized?

Awesome attention to detail and the base is great.

The top part of the head is magnetized to the body. The different weapons are all on different lower rings of the head which slot into the top part to attach.
