Comments? Be harsh, I'm working on getting better : )

It looks fine, frogsinwinter.

I'm more interested in the phantom hand in the background...

theres no hand there... OMG!?!!!

It's my future wife, she's painting some freehand on an immolator : )

her work (WIP!)

I like it as it has a quite warm brownish color to it which goes really well with the black/magenta - you could even add a very dilluted red or orange to some parts of it to break the monotony and give it a bit of a tint in places. And you really should dirty up the exhausts, especially the slits on the side, as well IMO! Also, you should use a thin stroke of a lighter grey for the edges ath the top, to give it more of a 3d feel. But here I am, suggesting much when the work is really nice... so don't take it as criticism, just suggestiongs that you might like as well.

Criticisms are welcome : ) its how I get better.

I'll see what i can do, I may dry brush the edging a bit more and see how a rust like color will look slightly mixed in.

have an example of weathering around the stacks?

Did you do that with paint or the powders that are out?

Either way it looks good.

Very nice I'd like to have seen some scratches under the mud covering but then again most space marine armour is meant to be a ceramic techno blend so people painting their scratches metal often bugs me a little

@mullet_steve - Maybe they've blended ceramic with metal?

At OP - The dust looks great. The only thing I would add is something I saw on the GW website on weathering and that is to do a layer of drybrush along the length of the vehicle to give it a sense of having moved.
