I was doing the rolling thing, but i did accidentally dip my brushes deeper then intended into the paint a few times. So maybe that was what truly killed my brushes.

I guess this stuff you mentioned is some kind of paint thinner?

My brushes don’t last very long either, though they do last at least through about 10-20 miniatures. I also picked up this stuff (I’m not sure what it is exactly) from a hobby shop near where I live that you can just dip a brush head into, then let it sit, and it’ll completely remove whatever paint is on the brush. Very handy for “resurrecting” brushes.

The tips become frayed and split, making them not to good for the fine touches after about 2 good uses…

I am trying to mass produce now, so i am applying base coats to as many as possible then will do the second stage, then the final touches.

Want to try and have them done within the next week or two at the most. Then i can work on some terrain features and maybe investigate picking up a command squad.

My marines have white and silver chainswords and boltguns/heavy weapons, which is their secondary colour and I think it works out pretty good; but they’d look just fine with black or boltgun-metal weapons as well (which is how I had them when I visited).

I cheated a bit with the highlights, some parts came out to thick so i then had to drybrush over them with Shadow Grey to tone them down a bit.

His eyes are actualy white, but they don’t stand out aswell right now cause i accidentally toned them down when i retouched his face.

The blue las pisol and chain sword isn’t too much you think?
