mainly crystals I can do a ton better now.

cool model dude

Good looking model. You have excellent bone effects, and I like the script. You have great brush control, it is very clean looking with a good eye for detail. The "Templar" script is especially impressive at this scale.

I think your gold effects could use some work, as well as your reds, and the black could use some highlighting.

Both the golds and the reds could do with a devlin mud wash, then a highlight, finishing the gold with a very light mithril silver highlight.

Your blacks are especially flat. Maybe don't aim for true black, but instead the illusion of black, e.g. dark blue or grey, leaving only the deepest areas true black.

The white shoulder pad as well should be only highlighted true white, and a very pale grey or bleached bone for the main color (depending if you want to go for a cold "stormtrooper" white or a warmer "parchment" white".

Overall though, great looking mini.

The red allready has mudwash but thanks for the advice. This model is 2 years old, I just desided to post it now.
Agreed the highlighting needs alot of work on my part. The gold allso needs work but i tried using mudwash but funnt enough it doesnt giev the desired effect. I think I used a Gold paint that isnst made for model painting. because it never fades its color.
