First order of business

So I have never painted lava or done any sort of object light sourcing, Idk if it is because of the red green color blindness, but this is the first model with it. ( sorry for horabble quality it was done with the iPad) 

I will take any and all criticism

Here goes nothing

So I am extremely new to this whole blogging thing, which is funny because I do everything else with my computer, but I figure I'd give it a shot. I guess I should start with a name, my name is Ben and I have recently gotten back into 40k, more as a hobby but I do enjoy playing every now and then. I used to do a lot of remodeling with green stuff and kit bashing but now I am really working on presentation. Don't get me wrong i still kit bash and green stuff but now I'm working on the painting aspects. Few things about me, I am a student in a biotechnology program and I work a full time job in an o.r. at a hospital, in my spare time I play video games and hang out withe the girlfriend. For 40k right now I play tyranids, chaos, tau, and grey knights. I only have about 2k pts a piece but when I used to play in high school I could field a 17000 point tyranid army. But enough about me ill start posting some pics and help is always welcome.
