    Those sandwich bag ties are so clever. I’ve never seen any other creator do that. Awesome work.

      One of my favourite techniques for anything kinda sci-fi related, especially since they’re basically free! Glad you like and thank you for watching!

    Love the diorama
    Not only from the artistic standpoint
    But a psychological one,
    Puts in perspective the reality of warfare
    Don't get me wrong, the space marine stuff is a bit of fun-
    But the imperial guardsman( the Cadians in particular) are what got me into WH40K

      Thank you dude, glad you like it! And absolutely the same for me, super-human armoured tank space marines are pretty cool, but the ordinary men and women fighting in that same universe against all that crazy stuff, are just so much more interesting imo

    Lovely diorama. Everything looks great except the standing guys eyes. One tip is to not go full white or black. Just use a flesh tone + white and black to desaturate. Looks way more natural. And of course, try not to paint them too big. It’s tricky though but definitely worth it. Keep up the great work.

    Genuinely, the knife in the sandbag I thought was the actual model from the heavy weapons team kit. The old kit, or atleast the Brood Brothers box I got came with it, has a sandbag with a knife stuck in it. So that's cool.

    Looks great. I'd recommend using matt varnish wherever you can. Nature isn't very satin and this might help provide a bit more realism and contrast between the deliberate wet/damp sections and others which are more exposed.
