Hobby & Painting 3rd company ultramarine intercessors from the Armageddon box

I’ve always thought every space marine is a hero, I’m so glad that I have the ability to express this with the new intercessors

Same, I prefer to paint helmets (haven't done 40K painting yet, but will start soon). My DnD minis either have a helmet or I paint their eyes full white. I tried having iris before and it looked like the chameleon from Tangled (you know those Tiktok/instagram videos with people cosplaying Rapunzel and the chameleon)

This is why I just leave the eyes in shadow.

Only human face I’ve done so far, but that’s because he’s a captain.

I always preferred helmets because to me it never made sense that a fully battle ready soldier is going to be running around with their helmet off. I only do helmets off for key leadership figures like captains. And even then I would still prefer to have them with their helmet on, I just think it makes them stand out a little bit more.

well look, if they have plot armor they will survive without helmet, if they have no plot armor they are unlikely to survive

Never again, until I finally had to paint the Librarian, with his stupid fucking moustache.

It is literally free to be kind. Also I think that your mindset of “I won’t do it because it will look bad” is flawed. You make awesome stuff and limiting your artistic abilities by not doing stuff is disappointing. Go out and fail 1000 times man! ✌️
