Haven't painted in awhile but finally got some time to finish this last mini for my kid’s board game Horrify. Tried to add some white on the sun glasses to simulate glare and tried to add some dirt to the robes with a glaze but instead of brown it ended more yellow. Meh.

Glazing is translucent so shows whatever is underneath it. Just do more brown glaze layers on top of what you already have. Each layer will get it closer to the color you are using to glaze.

Nice as a break I am going to try and paint some Custodes and not look at blue for a while....

Say what you want, the new models are several orders of magnitude better than anything they've ever had.
RT dreads were wild looking. Then the metal ones that came in the paper/styrofoam box were better...but they still didn't look like this.

Yeah i'm really new to Warhammer, so my only experience is the last year or so. This Redemptor Dreadnaught is really impressive to me. The arms move, hand rotates, the little turrets on the chest move, the middle opens up. You get a choice of guns on both arms. You can do it in a dynamic pose if you want. It's really good. I'm impressed.
I also like where they are going with the newest push fit models like in Indomitus box set. It's so much easier to paint in assemblies.

Definitely red. I like purple on minis but not on that one, doesn't look right at all.

Need some advice on basic materials please. I've started off painting some coins (first newb go below to give the idea). I'm using enamel paint on them. The coins are copper plated steel and cupro nickel. I'm going to give it a go pouring small amounts of epoxy resin over them.
1. Will acrylic paints take as well on these metals ?
2. One guy I watched used hairspray to seal the enamel and make it shiny before putting the resin on. Can I use something like Varnish instead or are there any other alternatives ?
3. Can I use washes to give some shading to the bare metal areas ? Any other techniques I can use to do this ?
Thanks in advance.

Acrylics will work well on anything that is primed first. Painting directly onto materials with the paint, it will fall off. I can't speak to enamels, sorry. Washes on bare metal, I have no idea there either.
Search for Testors Lacquer for sealer. The matte version is what I use and it's the best I've found because it doesn't change your colors like others I have tried. I haven't tried their regular or gloss lacquer's but they make them so I'd say just give them a shot and see what you think.
