Looking for Medieval Miniatures

Hi, so I am a casual hobbyist who painted a few WH40K minis and although I enjoyed it , I’ve always preferred more medieval/fantasy themes.

Now, what I was looking for is a brand that sells Medieval Miniatures that are somehow more realistic/historical than Age of Sigmar ones, but come close to the quality of printing and level of detail that Games Workshop offers.

I’ve seen Empire of Minis and took a liking to some of the models there but I am afraid the minis would be fragile.

First mini painted, highwayman goblin. (Highwaygoblin?)

Outside of his weird little toes and the overlap on his eye i’m pretty proud of this first attempt. Any advice for a new painter? Used black primer with a white/gray slapchoped base coat. Then colored with citadel contrast paints and army painter speedpaints

Importing (US) Artis Opus Brushes

My in-laws got me a set of brushes from Artis Opus for my birthday, but they were just notified that they were returned by US Customs for a failed inspection. I’ve purchased brushes from Artis Opus in the past with no issues, so this came as a surprise.

Anyone know if this is a weird one off issue or if there was some change recently? They were Series S brushes if it matters.

Calling paint color professionals.

https://imgur.com/a/esa7vsp

One thing I love about this sub-reddit is the knowledge. Link above will show Deathstroke's special "chain mail" diamond type armor on many of his suits. Most of the time it's like a blueish steel and such.

I have Vallejo Metal Color Steel and also a Metal Medium in my collection. But I need help on getting some blue in it and having my figure be similar to the pictures. To the pros out there, what would you use and do to have a similar effect?

I greatly appreciate any and all help on this fam. 🙏🏻

Loonboss WIP. Wondering about how to weather his weapon

Finished the two base mushroom caps last night. I should’ve done a white primer over the black from above, man was orange and yellow hard to build up. I’m hoping to get some tips on weathering his weapon. I like the metallic Tinny Tin from Vallejo, I just don’t know what paints to use to give it that all important but if detailing. Thanks

Been working on some Ultramarine Intercessors!

Been enjoying the hobby. This has been one month of progress.

Any tips on applying transfers on space marine cauldrons? I wanna toss my mini into the warp everytime I get an air bubble.
