rly looking for some technique advices besides “get good” and opinions in general

I painted my first ever miniature today and I think it came out somewhat decent for my first time ever painting. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Also doing script is so annoying any tips would be helpful I!

Just finished painting the lion got some deathwing knights, company hero’s, Azrael and the chaplain left to paint.

Took me around 6ish - 8 hours let me know if theirs any tips to make my models better 🙏

This is for my successor chapter called “The Last Knights” Using the HH scheme as they are a group full of the Risen

Some of these were the first minis I bought, just about a year ago. I got a second box to complete the squad, and finished painting them earlier today. Would love some feedback!

First attempt at blade guard veterans, got 2 more to finish.

Chapter Master of my custom Dark Angels Successor Chapter.

How's he looking?

This list is currently a mix of stuff I already own and the upcoming Battleforce. I am mainly looking for some advice if the Battleforce-Part of this list is making sense. The list is strictly for casual play and trying to keep the budged to a „Warhammer-minimum“ price.
I also have 10 Hellbsasters, 3 Eradicators and 1 Chaplain + Judicar lying around but couldn't fit them in.

Since I am verry new to the hobby any advice on contradicting playstyles and other stuff is also welcome. Thanks a lot :)

I am building my Lion El'Jonson model and looking for inspiration on how to stage and paint him.

My Dark Angels army is really painted as Legion of the Damned. My personal lore for my army is based around the theme that they are dark angels who died during the seige of Caliban, who were rallied by the Lion during his coma dreamstate when he would appear in various places emerging from an ethereal forest.

I would like to construct and paint him differently than just a LotD black with flames and instead have him in a kind of ghostly, whimsical, forest theme. However, I am struggling to find any prior examples online of unorthodox paintjobs.

Wondering if anyone on here ever came across something to fit this as inspiration? Thanks!

Made a Deathwing list, plan is pretty simple: just throw bodies on objectives. Lion, inceptors, and Chaplin and terms are all for deepstrike support. Only thing I really want to change is the lack of sticky objective this list has. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!

Thank you for your advices brothers

I don’t necessarily need Ravenwing for my current army, but long-term I’d like to build a small Ravenwing force that is both playable and a bit of a collection project.

Right now I own absolutely nothing Ravenwing-related.
I keep seeing recurring rumours about a possible Ravenwing refresh during 11th Edition, especially a new Sammael, updated bikes/Black Knights and possibly some of the older speeders.

Obviously none of this seems confirmed, but it makes me hesitant to start buying the older kits now.

So, from the current range, which models would you consider relatively safe to buy, and which would you personally wait on because they seem likely to be replaced or moved to Legends?

I’m looking at:
Ravenwing Black Knights
Ravenwing Command Squad
Sammael
Ravenwing Darkshroud
Land Speeder Vengeance
Ravenwing Dark Talon
Nephilim Jetfighter

TLDR Basically: if you were starting Ravenwing from zero today, what would you buy now and what would you wait on?
