I might brighten up the metallics. Right now he’s very two-tone; red and white. While there are some accent colors in there, they are very subdued. I think if the golds popped a bit more, it might help make the mini seem more alive.
But overall, I like what you have here.

It looks good. White armor and blacklining is not an easy thing for most people to paint. How long did it take? If I had one suggestion, I would actually go with a white helmet. However, I don't know much about White Scars fluff, so if this is the correct way to paint them, then just ignore me

Nicely done, getting the red and white to look even but not flat is an achievement! Good stuff!

its actually brown lining and the red helmet is a symbol of the white scar veterans

Looks good to me, though I think the pics let it down a bit - they're quite grainy. What camera / settings are you using?

He looks really good. Throw on some brighter gold and I think you'll have hit a winner.l

It looks great!
The black lining is always a pain on white models, but it looks good. The free hand is really crisp, too
As for improvements: Firstly, imo the red is a little too dark. Scars are always depicted with bright red. And personally, I think brighter red is better.
Also, the white looks a little thick and chalky in places. Might just be the photos, but I can see 'clumps' of paint on the model. Specifically, in the second picture on the models right arm on the armour plate on his bicep. If you are looking to take your painting to the next level, you can try thinning out your white and it should smoth the finished paint job out.

It's fantastic. Where did you get the scimitar?
What everyone else said, though. Highlighting on the gold would go very far.

I went to Hershey Park in central PA this year, and I have to say I was more than a little disappointed. I fully expected the entire theme park to be make entirely of chocolate, but no. Here in America, we have "building codes," and some other nonsense about chocolate melting if don't store it someplace kept below room temperature. |

Looks great but the base looks a tad to big for him.
