First time touching paints in ages, and first time ever doing a miniature. Been having a lot of fun painting the starter kit after work. I’d like to try shading when I finish them all up.

I was struggling a lot with the first layer since the paint wouldn’t stick, so I got a Tamiya primer for the space Marines. I think I may have over sprayed a bit since there’s some paint that was pooling in the pauldrons.

I’ve also had trouble getting to some of the tighter spots on the model, especially the 4 guys on one base (the book is in japanese so I don’t know the names). Nevertheless having lots of fun! Looking forward to making a kill team or doing one of the board games since I don’t have anyone to play with out here.

    4 guys on one base: These are the tiny Tyranid models, correct? Those are called Ripper Swarms. The model in your picture is a Termagant.

      Thanks for letting me know! The ripper swarm had some really tight places to try to fit the brush.
