Found these in my box from I don’t know when. They are still available I believe but not the best castings. One had an eye missing so he has battle damage ?. Quickest models ever. Silver base coat, coat of silver paint, black shade coat then dry brush and highlight, job done.

There comes a point where the skill set runs out and you have to move on. For me with this figure it was getting a decent pic and painting liquids. A Warhammer 40K Eversor Assassin.

Some nice work going on here. Nice to see other small figures on the go ?
By liquids I assume you mean the ones in the vials on his back and the weapon in his hand? If so, try painting them like jewels. Glass, liquid and jewels are hard, until you get the knack and it suddenly becomes easier. There are several good tutorials out there, but the basic trick is to get the highlights in proportion and situated at the bottom of the vessel where the light is refracted through the liquid, and then put a bright spot highlight at the top where the light impacts. Took me years to get it right, and even now I find some colours (red) easier than others. Giving them a gloss varnish afterwards helps as well……
This is the one that cracked it for me…I think it helps because the technique is shown on paper rather than on a mini.

Thanks for that Tim, a useful article. As with all things small we paint, practice makes perfectSome nice work going on here. Nice to see other small figures on the go ?

I'm sure people will agree that one thing we strive for in our hobby is to progress our skill sets and learn from the vast wealth of knowledge on here and in the wider community to improve what we do. As one of the figure painters on here I do like to try and push myself, sometimes deliberately avoiding easier models to try and do better. I'm always watching stuff on social media and following some of the best painters out there. It was while watching one of these one of my next projects appeared. I seldom by box sets as I don't game anymore and look for single figures to have a go at. My latest purchase however is a real leap of faith and is certainly going to test my eyesight more than anything. These are a group of resin figures from a game called Moonstone. I just love how different they are but they are very small compared to my usual choices. Hopefully I'll get them cleaned up shortly and give them a go. For some reason 2 of my pics are missing and as I'm posting this at work will have to be added later.

For those console gamers who remember Halo, there are now miniatures available for a game called Flashpoint so I couldn’t resist painting one up. It is slightly taller than the normal Warhammer figures I paint but you can hardly tell. So here’s master chief
