Here's my effort of a small diorama , wanted to to pay homage to the 2012 blood angel captain model that was released to i did the one terminator in old school colours.
Be great get some feed back and comments

Very nicely painted. The color belending is awesome, the basing is top-notch, and the details are all there.

CC:
1. I'm not too crazy about the raised aquila on the shoulder pad.
2. It's hard to tell what's going on (from certain camera angles) as far as the diorama aspect since the colors are so very similar. This is likely purely an inability to see the model in person and get the 3D effect.
3. IMO, the narrative here of "Vengeance for a Fallen Brother" seems kind of strong and isn't particularly conveyed by this model, posing, diorama.

But overall, awesome job.

KHAAAAAAN

Love the old school colours! well executed

Did you photoshop these or change the lighting? The first pics look orange and the zoomed out shots look deep red. Either way they look nice.

no photo shop just diferent light source , one was the a lamp shinning from about and the other was light from the window

I'm getting a big 'Get off my lawn!' vibe from the pose.

The paint job is phenomenal!

Dam Orks always on the dam lawn lol Thanks man

Great colour scheme... reminds me of 2nd edition.

I like it! I just wish there were a few more pictures.

Your colors are super vibrant and neat, and the color scheme and bits used on the still living Blood Angel remind me a lot of the 2nd edition 40k box art. Well done!

Wow you wouldn't have thought it would make that much difference. I prefer the redder version but as I said before both nice

Here's where i got my inspiration from

Still have that book in my bookcase

It's all very nice and neat, but it's the base that's winning for me. Different textures on the rock, irregular shape, interplay of light and shadow - it looks nearly organic, half-alive (even more in warm, yellowish light).
