If you still struggle with thinning paints, try using acrylic medium as it's easier to get a consistent result than water.
Also don't expect thinned paints to look good on the first application, it should ideally take 3-4 coats before you get a solid base for most colors.

Sorry if it seems like I post stuff without making much progress. Work has been busy so I don't have much time to paint for now.
Think I finished the glazing, just need to finish up on the belt area. Will do the highlights after and for now will just use Troll Slayer Orange and glaze it back to Mephiston. Also using 1:1 of Flash Gitz and Troll Slayer to put on the corners.
Not sure if I want to try and glaze in some darker reds for some shadows. I don't think this is a bad glazing job for a first timer but that helmet is being a real bitch to work with.
Getting the Dark Imperium box set for the Death Guard, and I'm currently thinking about how to paint the Primaris Marines in the box.
I currently collect Space Wolves so they're my first thought on how to paint them but I'm not sure if from a lore perspective my company would accept them into their rout.
I'm currently considering either Blood Ravens (who nicked the technology bound for another chapter)
or
Astral Claws (a section of the chapter who survived to present day die to convoluted time in the Warp)
Any thoughts?
Thanks heaps for the tips guys, I've been watching Duncan's videos on painting and I could never fully grasp the viscosity of the paints he was using (probably because I can't get decent quality on videos because of terrible internet).
I've forgone working on important units and I'm trying out techniques on smaller units/spare parts, is this the result that I am looking for? I know there are stray brush marks and little areas missing, but how is the green? Too thin/thick?
Gotta be Blood Ravens. Get a Bjorn in your army for maximum memeing.
Looks really good
If I go with Blood Ravens I'm also considering picking up the Gabriel Angelos mini from Forge World when it comes out. Hopefully he'll be of a similar scale and not look stunty next to the new recruits

Sorry to say, but the Gabriel Angelos mini looks retarded as fuck.
