I agree on the front. Simpler nebulae are needed.
I also agree that I like the pink ones but they feel wrong.
I do have a couple of turbodork paints so perhaps I’ll give that a go. Thanks for the suggestion!

No worries. As the robes are quite dynamic in their colours, I was wondering if that was why the plainer colours on the armour plates jar. Colour shift might add some more complexity to those areas to balance the robes?

I think something between the purple and the blue for the armor plates would work well. How you get such a shade, I have no idea, but I think it would look good.
And I agree with others. Simplify the nebulae pattern on the front. Maybe lose the yellow and orange all together and soften the light blue and green so they don’t dominate their pleats.

Some wolves painted super fast, using mainly just washes and dry brushing. Not the best finish, but very quick to achieve something ready for the table.

Ooh, forgot to post a few Star Wars Legion minis I finished in the last two weeks…
First a bunch of Wookies…
There’s a painting tutorial guy named “Sorastro” who does most/all of the FFG/AMG stuff. He’s really quite nice, and does step-by-step instructions really well. I basically followed his steps here as closely as I could, substituting his “Scale” paints for my “Vallejo” equivalents.
And then I quickly polished off a Yoda. Super, super simple…
As always, nothing super fancy or noteworthy in my painting style, other than a focus on speed. Want these models painted and put away.
Next I have a clutch of Battlemechs to paint (about… 25?), and then back to Legion to paint Chewbacca, a unit of Phase 1 Clone weapons, and an Infantry Support Vehicle…

Suffice to say, I looooove those wookies!!!

A few Russian peasants and a French Cantiniere.
Rules for the Silver Bayonet arrived this week, so I will probably start to switch into winter terrain making over the next couple of months to get a nice looking table together for some games.

Werewolf finished and ready to hunt my French soldiers through the snow. I decided to use the same paint scheme as I did for the wolves, and I’m pretty happy with the result.
(Quite washed out colours from bad lighting, may try to update with a better picture later…)

My latest four mini’s, and one I did 25 years ago, when I could see properly without glasses and a magnifier!

Been a while since I broke out the paints in any meaningful way. Been a long while longer than that since I painted any of my Skaven. Haven’t played the game at all in ages, so had no motivation to do anything with them.
Felt like painting something different from the eldar and necromunda I’ve mostly been working on, so stripped the paint off the Hell Pit Abomination that I’d left in a distinctly mediocre state and thought I’d give it another go.
I wanted to try using drybrushing on a larger model and play around with a few other things. Just testing out changing the way I use a few techniques. Reasonably happy with the progress so far. It’s already miles better than when I left it last time

Turbodork colour shift piled on thick on the test model for a quick preview. I think I like the colour, if not the shoddy application!

I think you’ve found a winner there

I’ll give credit to all the suggestions from you experts

Finished some orruks too.
Also fell down the stairs after putting them on the shelf and put my knee through the wall.
That’ll be sore in the morning! At least I have an excuse to address the horrific plasterwork and wallpaper that I’ve tried to paint over and ignore on those stairs.

So many big stompy robots…
Drybrush Vallejo Steel.
Drybrush Vallejo Dark Aluminum on all of them, and Light Aluminum on the Clan mechs (the ones in the back… Clan mechs are “more advanced”, so I like them being a bit shinier).
Vallejo Royal Blue for the Steiner mechs. My favourite thing about Battletech mechs is that I could stop at this point and they’d still look really good. Most of the time when I paint there’s a period of the model looking worse and worse and worse, and then suddenly it stops looking awful… Battletech minis almost always look better and better and I can stop at any point. Anyway!
Blue highlights done, and light-grey undercoats finished.
And done! Boom. Two Steiner Recon Lances all painted up.
I have 10 Clan mechs (the 5 from earlier, plus another 5) waiting to get finished, but they’re even faster (a coat of Something-Dunes Contrast Paint to make the top half look gold, and then grey plus grey highlights on the bottom half, and 10 more little robots join Clan Wolf in trying to stop the invasion of the Inner Sphere…). Then 6 really quick “Aerospace Fighters” (Tau fighters from Aeronautica), then a few more Steiners and some Mercs… assuming I can free up a day, I should be able to crank all that out.
Problem is freeing up a day during November or December is… problematic. But we’ll see what we can do.
