Have not painted in quite a while, and when I do I normally paint single models.

I'm starting my first army in a long time and want to churn out some minis fairly quickly.

is this OK quality for table top ? I will end up replacing the models as i get more time to paint them at my leisure .

That is well above table top quality,

Seeing as most table tops are occupied by completly unpainted dudes it'd be hard not to be....but...

Its a really nice paint job! Props to you! Get the rest of an army looking like that and it'll be really nice!

Face and the loincloth are awesome, maybe a little more highlighting on the armour in a lighter green, but generally really good!

Table top?

Open your box, glue the model together, and that is all you need to play the game.

Let me put it this way Dru; that is way better than I paint, and I get complements all the time one how much better my stuff is than the average un/poorly painted "tabletop quality" army. In short, you're golden, keep up the good work. ;)

Thats just terrible. You painted it as a Dark Angel no way should you ever put that on the table.


ok jokes aside nice job. I'd like to play against a well painted army like that. In fact I painted up 11 Fallen just for the occasion.

Do you live 1 block from knockturn alley in goldemon winner alley?
if you paint that decently - you're fine - and probably know what deoderant is. make sure to bring a spritzer of sents for your opponent and enjoy.

Hey Dru, yes, those would be a very respectable tabletop model. I'm assuming it matters to you so I'll give you a fair reply. One thing that would up the quality is to cut back a little on the washes, it's drastically cutting back on your contrast making the entire model seem dull. The cool thing about this suggestion is you don't have to really do anything new! Just use less wash - besides, then you have more wash for more models.

Looking good and hope it works out for ya.

Nice paint job!! painting minis is like coloring in a coloring book as long as you stay in the lines ,your ok.

especially if its a Methodist Coloring Book! (Dead Milkmen reference)

Looked at the pics, model looks awesome. I like to paint on occasion, and try to put together a decent looking army (Necrons for the win!) or I will pay extra for someone selling well painted models over just glued together and dipped in paint.

good job.
