99% complete Commissar Yarrick this is my test model before doing another one to entre this year golden daemon
Thought and feed back welcome.

Woah. That looks fantastic.

Awesome work man! it looks really good. I always giggle when I see that model cuz in reality that model would fall over with that giant claw of death lol

Beautiful!

Thanks for the feed back guys

You have done a beautiful job on that model and my only suggestion is to modify it somehow with the pose, maybe have him standing ontop of a defeated ork (maybe Ghazghull?) or something and looking like hes about ready to punch his klaw into it to finish it off.

I agree with TAZZ. The model is amazing, don't get me wrong, although it seems like the model dosn't have much life (if you know what i mean).
A defeated ork is a nice Idea.
I could amagine that he his yelling, CHARGE!! to his fellow guardsmen. You could have cadians charging from behind him as if they are following his order.
One last thing that would make this model WAY better would be to add a little more life to the basing a well, maybe something more than a rock. Ammo, barbed wire, corpses, blood, bushes, grass, sand, metal plates, ruined building ect.
Other than that the model itself and the paintjob is completely spectacular.
A++

If that's just your test model, your "real" entry should be amazing! You might want to do something with the base rim though. Although I am always happy with a black base rim, it doesn't work quite as well for this piece.

That looks utterly amazing. Gorgeous work.
Why do golden deamons always have the gigantically tall bases though? Seems sort of ridiculous to me.

Awsome! I dont realy think it will win you golden deamon ( though its just a test) i think your 'real' model eeds to look even better for you to win. Still nice work!

Thanks guys for the feed bck . To answer a few question yes i will be putting the nxt model on a more dramatic base with a defeated ork or tau .. This one was just to see if i could pull off the nmm work. I have no expectaiton of winning golden daemon as i have only been painting for 18months so i know i need many more years of practice yet before coming even close to that but thank you all so much for your feed bck it real does help me progress in my painting and points out where i need to improve .. so thanks again really helps

The only bad comment I would make was about the red - it all looks the same despite the different materials it's on.
Maybe try some glazes to change the tones.
I would add a red glaze to the hat to richen the colour & make it less orange.

Ohterwise bloody brilliant. I especially like the highlighting on the black trenchcoat.
Good luck!

ye i understand wa ya say buddy it's i take all my photos using my camera on my mobile phone and it's not the best as it doesnt pic up the colour transitions very well... i do still have a lill wrk to do on him but like i said he was a test model for the main one i will be doing thanks for the comment on the red and the suggestions .

Bloody Amazing Painting !!

looks great!

Thanks guys

The paint job is fantastic but I think the klaw needs paint chips and wear some oil on the ram head (part of the rod that does not go in the piston housing) things like that.
