So, I have been a fan of minis for a long time, but for a variety of reasons never got around to actually painting them (cost, time, availability, whatever). Regardless, I was out and about last fall hitting the rummage sales and came across a bin of miniatures. I *think* they are GW...but not sure. Had some orcs, skeletons, ratmen??, and some elemental looking thing. Anyway, a few weeks back I took the plunge and ordered some vallejo paints (I heard they were good).
This is my first time painting these things, so be kind ;) I know the pics are not the best, but I am interested if you have any feedback. I have been scouring the net for articles, videos, and guides on painting. But yeah, here ya go:
Wish the pictures were better, but I used my phone cause my camera died. They are a little grainy.
This is the first one I did. Is there something you can use to get rid of the seams where the mini glues together? This was already glued...but still.

And this is the rider (have not finished yet)

I did these ones the other night. I like how they turned out. I realized I don't have brown paint though...so that kinda sucked. Gonna have to go buy some ASAP. I tried to give the metal armor an old rusty / tarnished look. Came out better if I could get a better pic :-/
