Waiting for an appointment is torturous. In the meantime keep busy. Have a look on r/miniatures for inspiration.

W40k fan too?

I’ve painted a predator tank in Blood angel colours but it looked pretty bad haha so I won’t be offering any tips.

Yeah, I bought the Indomitus box a couple of years ago (when I had a job lol) because I love Necrons and my partner likes the Space Marines (so original haha). I painted two necrons and never did the rest of the squad haha! I have a bunch of D&D models to paint as well.

When we bought the box at Games Workshop in the CBD, the clerks helped us with painting tips. We also have been to PAX a number of times where you can minis as an activity too. We are by no means great painters, but they do come out quite servicable haha!

I would love to see a pic of the predator tank you painted! I'll find the first mini i ever painted too haha it was quite horrid πŸ˜‚

I’m not sure actually sure what happened to the predator tank, I may have lost it when I moved.

I’d be embarrassed about it though. I remembered I used enamel paint because I didn’t know any better because I thought shiny was better.

Nooooo 😱 may it live on in your memories always! Do not ever be ashamed or embarrassed about not knowing! πŸ€— shiny is always better πŸ˜…
