Thank you .... any suggestions...??

Suggestions? Sure!

1. Base it
2. More highlights on the sword hilt
3. Keep doing more 'cause you,sir have talent!

Looking good so far.

The nmm on the sword makes it look like a light saber rather than metal. It looks good if thats the effect you want.

I think the tabard could use more contrast, brighter lights, darker darks, and more mid tones for depth.

Post when you are done its looking really good.

It is really, really good but if you are looking for suggestions:

- a bit more depth in the folds of the cloak
- the sword looks just a bit bent
- the bolter muzzle holes look a bit off center
- left toe needs some touch-up as it looks like paint flaked off?

Thank you guys those pointers will help alot

You can correct the barrel holes by filling with milliput and redrilling. Don't use greenstuff to fill; it's a devil to level off nicely.

A bit more contrast on the face will help, and the cloak's begging for a bit of freehand.

Ok thanks for the tips any suggestions on the free hand...??

Just some simple hem lines in white/bone would look good I think.

Looks good, keep up the good work.

AAaaa cool will give it a go thank you.

I also think some sort of pattern/design on the cloak itself would do a lot. Here are some photos to inspire you.
