Fine work on this one, Andre! Without a doubt one of your best to date. I like the weathered bits here and there--a well deserved win.

I really like the way you have captured the mini, and how you have chose a mini so well suited to the style you are creating in your own work.

The natural feel for material is there, hair, beard etc are all excellent. I do feel the flesh is not consistant with the rest of the mini, the almost angular highlight has too much contrast and the colours are not so harmonious. I would wash the flesh down with thin raw umber and then give a paler complexion..that's just an opinion though But I would definitely reduce the contrast even though the sculpt seems to 'demand' it

The right hand shoulder armour is awesome, I don't know how you've achieved it but i love the finish. Congrats Andre

Well done mate this certainly was a surprise as it came out of nowhere as we hadn't seen a painted mini from you for a while. I like the shoulder armor too and like Dennis I don't know how you achieved it. Well done.

Yep congratz mate, wasn't sure you had it in you!!!

Thanks for your comments every one! I really appreciate them

The shoulder pad was, if I remember correctly, basecoated with scorched brown, then shaded with a wash of Chaos black and Scorched brown. after this I successively added bestial brown to schorched brown working towards the edges. Whe I had maybe 50/50 scorched brown and bestial brown I began adding sneakbite leather. and then I added some bleached bone for the final highlights. Lastly I glazed it all with some catachan green(2 or 3 times I think), to tone it all down a little. Now this is just from the top of my head, might have done it a little differently, but no big differences.

Sorry Andre, i'm such a tit, i meant the left shoulder! but thanx for taking the time

[razhburz]

lol OK no worries. a guy on the frothers asked about the left one too so here goes:

hmmm, I think I basecoated it all with boltgun metal (could have been chainmail too). followed by a coat of mithril silver. Then I glazed it all with snake bite leather a few times, letting it fully dry between the layers, then I added a darker brown, not qquite sure wish one though, was either dark flesh or a mixture of bestial and scorched brown. this too wash applied as glazs working towards the deeper areas, and did so for quite a while, then I glazed it all with catachan green (I love that colour a couple of times.

now that I think about it I might also have added some dark angles green in the final glazes too.....
