Except it's not finished. I had to put down the brush for the past week due to illness, but I picked it back up tonight and finished the body and head. Now I move onto the arm weapons and I'm going to at least base them tonight. But I went with Thousand Sons colors as it's for that army in particular. Mind you I make some personal changes for personal tastes, but they're the overall colors minus yellow...which I can't figure out where to put it. I also tried making the skulls or spirits or whatever on the smokestacks look like they were made out of tallow candles while vomiting ghost light. I could've done better, but I was super tired when I painted them. There are a few mistakes that I'm not going to go over and fix cause I don't think they're super noticeable, but maybe. IDK. Maybe find a way to smush in that yellow somewhere if I'm feeling spicy.
Also, I use blue-white light in my painting "studio" and I can't get the color to come out perfectly with my iPhone's camera. It keeps throwing a blue heavy filter on it and I can only correct it so much.
Oooo I really like the subtle neon green glow on the skulls. Very nicely done. I have no idea how people paint these so nice.
I know almost nothing about Warhammer, which is the best faction?
Purely subjective unfortunately. I play Drukhari, the dark elves, who are essentially a combination of the Hellraiser Cenobites mixed with pirates. They've got some questionable lore but I try to disregard the worst of it (the absurd amounts of SA references) and focus on the funny evil (the time the faction leader sent his biggest rival a birthday gift, which happened to be a condensed black hole that annihilated his rival the moment he opened the box)
