Great job for a first go. Not just saying either. My first painted mini was a striking scorpion exarch from the early 2000 or late 90's. Mine is hilarious to look at. Never bothered repainting it. I should post it.

I've kept some of my first ones too! The amount of cheap acrylic I have on them adds an extra point of toughness ;)
Thank you! :)
Looking great! Have you decided on a chapter for your army yet?
Ultramarines for now since that's the paint I have already but the blood angels interest me as well.
I love the look of blood angels! But I like how you've done the ultramarine scheme, nice and grimdark
