I don’t normally attempt fine freehand line work, but this (imo) success has me encouraged to try more!

How’d I do? Any tips for lettering and teeny scrawlings?

Just found mini painting 2 weeks ago, bought the Age of Sigmar introductory set and was hooked! Here are my first 5 Stormcast Eternals, wasn’t sure which direction to take them stylistically. Decided to try the 5 elements, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Metal. Can you tell which ones are which? Open to any and all suggestions and painting tips also! My favorite is fire and earth!

The following people are teaching painting classes at the LVO next year, classes are open for sign up, does anyone know any of these people? I am new to the hobby. Pardon my ignorance there are clearly some very talented people in this list just judging from instagram and all the golden demons. Who would you want to learn from?
Marco Frisoni, Tim Marsh, Erik Swinson, Matt DiPietro, Sean "BrushforHire" McAfee, Yeji Kim, Chris McClure, Joe Orteza, Ladislav Majer, KAHA Katarzyna Górska, Riccardo Agostini, Kris Chung, Anthony Wang, Francesco Farabi, Dan Ozborne, Matteo Di Diomede, Matt Carnevale, Natalia Oracz, Africa Mir, Clay Williams, Kyle M. Dalton, Syndjinn Scott, Derek Clawson

I'm reasonably new to painting ~1 year, and a friend asked me to paint his Thorin's Company as a favour. I decided to limit myself to 1-2 hours max per mini but still try to keep them individual (as they are all heroes). Is 1-2 hours per mini considered "speed painting" or should I aim for faster? I didn't do the bases and the metal on the weapons is the worst aspect and one I'm going to focus on learning next. I am from a town that has a small Warhammer/MESBG community and I'm considering painting for the community as I enjoy it as a hobby. Do I need to improve my speed/skills? I can post individual pics of each mini in comments if necessary.

After like 2 months and getting distracted by a rogor, finally finished my first squad of ratboys. I'd love to ask for C&C but honestly feel my pictures are all so blurry or too directly lit for good critique and if anyone has advice on how to get them looking better I'd love it thank you.

This a quick and dirty paint job

I've seen some talk on here about Gunze Mr finishing surfacer and leveling thinner being out of stock in plenty of places. I was just alerted that scale hobbyist has received a restock from their supplier if anyone was trying to get ahold of any of these products. Based on my previous conversation with the owner of scale hobbyist, other US suppliers should also have gotten some in stock as well, if not within the next few days. Unfortunately I don't see the pink primer in stock.

I apologize if this breaks any rules regarding promotion, I have no financial or personal ties with that site, I'm just trying to alert fellow painters who have been trying to get their hands on these products with no success over the past couple months.

Is it normal for a new raphael kolinsky brush hair to stick out?

My local gaming shop is having an orctober painting competition (closing date isn’t until the end of this month because they know we’re all slow and easily distracted.) I let my little brother paint my orc bois so I dug out an old gretchin from the 90s. I wanted to hint at the old school goblin green base, without fully ruining what I’d managed to do so far. This is totally not my painting style and criticism is welcome but honestly I just wanted to share the nostalgia. Pictured underneath is my original paint job from about 2009 😂
