here is my latest model let me know what you think and by the way in no way do I think it's perfect.

**Brother Paen**

Nicely done. Great line work,nice highlights,and good color choices. I must say though, that background really drew me into the picture. It made the model look alive.

**redthirst**

Stunning.

The red is beautiful: the shading and highlighting are extremely smooth and superbly done while the over-all tone is bright without being cartoony.
The markings are all very well done and true to the Codex.
Colors are balanced and compliment each other very well (in fact, it's the exact same color palette I use for BA: red, black, green, blue, yellow, purple, steel, and bone with very limited uses of gold and brown).

Honestly love it.

This is what I call a good paint job. Nothing special, everything has been given care, great highlights, complementary colours and good contrast.

The only thing I have to say is that your basing is bland. Give it some more attention than just a bit of static grass. Maybe some sand or 1 or 2 rocks. In my opinion does a base make or break the model.

**Brokksamson**

I'm gonna go on record and say that I love this model, clean and simple, it looks great!

**suspiratus**

Nice, clean paint job. Like the background

**Plokoone**

Nice colors and highlights, great work on the free hand and gems, and a green base.

Really very nice.

**Zwan1One**

Love these old sergeants. Kick ass. Looks awesome dude!

**alanmckenzie**

Really nice. Very neat, very smooth. A great look too, classic.

I agree with this. The painting's very nice, but the model as a whole would look even better with a little more attention to the base.

**ivankaiser**

Awesome paintjob my friend !

But i don't like the green base. I hope you will make great base for your marines

**painkiller66678**

Wow, that model is so clean it looks like a robot painted it, nice work. If I may say so, the eyes are kinda flat.

I feel the exact same. The model is sooo good. The base really detracts from the detail.

**stargasm**

Great execution of a classic mini. the retro basing technique works well on classic models.

**Ninjakinshu**

Very clean and remarkably pretty.

**ProfessionalAmateur**

The green base... it's so old school... I LOVE IT.

**Bla_Ze**

As a fellow Old scool BA fan i can say, Very nice!
But damn, that base needs to go.

**Celtic Warrior**

Man that's nice, would love to see more of this army.

**BrotherOfBone**

Very nice, love the angry mask thing he's got ;D Old looking

There are actually two errors that I noticed: First the squad marking on the knee; a skull on a black background, is a first squad marking, a tactical squad. Unless of course this was a sergeant of the 9th company. However...
The company marking on the model; two white blood drops is 7th company, a reserve company. 7th company is of course comprised entirely of tactical squads.

Wrong squad, wrong company.

That is one great looking model, although (like others) I would like a base that has a bit more detail. The pose is very cool, I really like that background, it adds realism to the figure. Nice work.

**jdjamesdean@mail.com**

The paint job is over the top outstanding. The base though needs a whole lot of loving. It's like a brand new BMW with Cardboard for windows.
