I really like the look of this guy. Second pose too is my favourite! Listening to what you have left to add and what is on him at the moment makes me think Luna Wolves to be honest. Should look lovely finished and all painted up.
Great Work!

Yep that is starting to take a very nice shape indeed. I love the eagle on the shoulder pad. Reminds me of the Mentor Legion from years ago.

that's some very impressive sculpting on the eagle shoulder pad, is it freehand?

alrite guys update time! iv managed to resolve the issue i had with hi left elbow, iv just made it really chunky and added a nice spike to it. the cloak am not entirely happy with, but am a little out of my depth with fabrics so it will have to do for this piece, still to add a fir trim at the bottom. backpack still needs alot of work, id like to make the central bit really chunky by adding a large turbine or somethin, not sure yet. the base is another sticking point, considering painting the rock in obsidian colours to contrast with the purples and golds, with a banner of a loyalist legion draped on the steps, I also want the inscription 'Oh how my noble deeds are smeared with the blood of Heroes', some where on the base to really sell the loyalist turned traitor idea and the moral dilemma u get in the novels. although, i think i might be over complicating the base so iv also been considering these ideas but on a simple flat tiled floor to keep the emphasis on the mini, ill prob do some more drawing and see wot ideas everyone comes up with. I also want to sculpt a partial eagle on his left shin and add some square studs on his other shin      |

Liking this more and more each time you post! As you have mentioned, the cloak seems a bit flat (loads better than I could ever do, though, hehe). I'd agree on the flag--it potentially could be a bit distracting from the mini itself.

The staircase I think that suits it very well mate.

arh ok Update time! Finished working on the legs, the eagle is a replication of the Vet Serg's, although its not obvious because the other half is 'hidden', i think the studs help balance the top and the bottom out. I also put some nicks into the bottom of the cloak to balance out the damage the banner has took.     |

indeed very nice work.
Could you make some work in progress shots (how you make those armor plates), might be great as a mini tutorial.
