how about white/bright grey as background?

may have to give it a try as the true grey goes red tint and the blue seems to yellow tint. I may just try an extra lamp too.

eh still with the blue back ground but a wip update either way.

you doing batch painting now? looking pretty good. Some more highlights on the edges of the armour might help make these models pop, but red is hard to photo well.

is the robe on the dead marine painted or just primed?
generally I think he should have some (heavy) weathering on him going on. He's sitting dead in that chair for some time after all.

Was asked by the store owner to keep the paint simple cause these went from the display case to the store's set to play with.

drill the barrels until it's not too late

Test with the white.....and update

I think I need to add one more lamp overhead as I am getting one weird spike when I am doing the levels correction.

It's looking pretty good, i like the reds they are nice and smooth. One thing which looks slightly off is that the purity seals you have on the minis are the same colour as the cloth, i think glazing them with a light brown might give it more distinction. Also on the writing on the purity seals rather than using black you might want to try a brown, it's less harsh and looks a bit more realistic. Still some nice work there tho i like the white tabards, bit more shading on some areas but still looking good anyway.

best white is on the first model. all need highlighting on reds though
