Managed to spend a few more hours on my Vanguard today. Basecoats are all but done and I got my Nuln Oil wash over the metal. Still in pieces at the moment but once I get the cogs on their chests done I’ll probably glue them together and the start in on highlights. I’ll throw up some proper pictures then.

What are the minis from? Are you using contrast paints or do you normally prime in white?

Eyes can be a misery. I started skipping them out of frustration but last year I tried out a guide I found on Youtube. It involves painting the entire eye socket black, adding in the white to frame the pupil and then repainting the skin detail around the socket to leave just a line of dark shadow around the eye. I won’t say I was 100% happy with the results but I’ve only tried it on three guys in a single squad and while up close it looks a little like they’re wearing eye shadow, at a tabletop distance it makes the eyes stand out nicely.

It’s been a shameless power metal binge today.
