Just finished my first model for Warmachine. Tell me what you think.



For those wondering I used this tutorial to help with the base.

Thats insane man loving the red!

Really nice. FOR THE MOTHERLAND

Maybe its the quality of the photo, but the red looks rather flat, could do with some highlighting and maybe some weathering. otherwise it's a nice simple, clean piece

I like that metallic red but it feels like some of the details are a little left out. The screw on the back of the fist arm sticks out the most. The brass seems a little dull too and would look great with some hilights.
I do like the direction it's going I just feel like a little more attention to detail and hilighting can bring out it's best.

nice metallic red you've got there

id probably shade some of the areas with a green/brown mix just to get some definition in the panels but otherwise thats a really neat idea

Thanks guys, for both the praise and useful tips.

It looks a little less flat in person, but I was wondering how I could add some depth to it seeing as the highlights I did before the red vanished, so thanks for that tip Bakerofish.

For the brass I'm thinking a highlight of maybe shining gold, or perhaps buying some burnished gold for it, but it's actually the first time I've tried to make a bronze colour. Any suggestions there? It's currently a Tin Bitz base coat with thin layers of Dwarf Bronze over it, I was trying to add a little depth to it that way but I don't really notice it.
