Anyone having trouble finding paint lately? Took me 2 weeks to find some mccrage blue. Finally got some today. Never had issues before

This will be fucking bonkers!
I'm back to painting after a almost a year break. Base coated my Repentia squad, gonna go one by one now to give them finishing touches.
Will try highlighting, dry brushing and edging as new techniques.
Question to you guys: what is the best paint for a base skin color for dark skinned minis? It took me using my wifes acrylic paint (not suited for mini's), lots of water and shades (with her help) to achieve what i posted. I can't replicate it, i need an off the shelf paint for future use.
Which brand has a nice base color for darker skin? Any of the big 3 (Citadel, Vallejo, AP)?
After finishing the Repentia's it's time for the Rhino and the Novitiae. Those are gonna have a sick color scheme

Finally got back to the invader one of my awesome team members got me. Haven’t gotten to it in weeks but plan to get it done this weekend. Lots of clean up needed and some more colours / shading. I’d like to edge it and dry brush but I’m honestly terrible at it. Any tips?

I told myself i won't buy anything untill i finish all my models, but...
Never did any base decorations.
I also found time to start on my Rhino. Base coated it brown before going orange+bronze. Honestly the color looks sick on it, maybe i'll start an IG squad in afrika korps colors.
Finished my Repentias. Tried shading the clothes, muscles and went crazy with the AP fresh/dried blood paint
Damn i missed it. No more breaks as long as the last one.

Spent some time last week building my Black Templars. Was a great box set with so many options. Was a bit crazy.
Primed them up and will paint them in the next while.
Been working on my sororitas too but they aren’t as good as yours. I’ll post some picks this weekend I think time permitting

Got some pics to share?
I'm still learning how to paint finer details, which washes to choose etc. But i'm happy how it's going.
Next stwp is to get a kolinsky brush for detailing and start painting in pieces before gluing them. A lot of badly painted spots make me go crazy.
Oh and anyone can say if there's a good replacement for Steel Legions stand ins? Currently not available through GW and even when they're online the prices are crazy...

Your stuff is really nice though wow! Way better than mine. Waaaaaaaay better.
I can’t wait to get some kolinsky brushes. They seem to make a huge difference

Love the zombie like skin color on the poor dude strapped to the machineAlmost done my shading but I think it the best I’ve done so far.
I need to get them, all the shops around the city had no engines or paragon suits, so i took the jetpack squad.
But i NEED some battle suits

For those in the UK, if you've not got a local Warhammer store or an independent stockist, I've just seen Hobby Craft now stock Warhammer, including minis, paints and other stuff. It's on their website so I assume it'll be in stores too. So if you have one of those close by, it might be easier than buying online for smaller orders.

Pushing on the idea of starting a small Steel Legion IG regiment i found the perfect proxies from Wargames Atlantic. Their Raumjäger infantry looks good enough and with a few bits and green stuff you can create a convincing squad. Also priced quite reasonably: ~35 bucks for 24 soldiers.
But i wanted to check the quality of their plastic so i ordered a single sprue of their Ratlings and Squats/Votann. Gotta say, it's a worthy proxy for a reasonable price
Gonna build snipers and sapper/engineers for OPR.
I wouldn't mind supporting GW, but the prices for any "special" type of models is just insane. And thst if they're even available...

I am pure hate. The fire that burns. The blade of vengance. The tide that turns.
Still need to learn how to use nuln oil correctly. It leaves smears on the hull in some spots.
Fresh Rust is a fine effect paint, has little blobs that after drying look like flocks of metal peeling off. Need some more skill in making realistic dripping stains.
More agrax earthshade on the tracks.
First vehicle almost done. Honestly i'd rather paint a whole squad. It's a bit tedious without an airbrush.
