In an effort to up my NMM game, this guys taken a couple of attempts, will probably enter him in GD2011 as my WFB single:

Looks good, now come paint my confrontation minis

One point of criticism: the transition on the tip of the sword could be made smoother. The three colors used are visibly distinct, particularly evident in the upper right photo.

Yup, that needs fixing.

By the way, what is NMM recipe shown there?

P.S I love the fish!

Few tweaks; nicer photos:



The armour is charadon granite, black wash, blend up through codex grey to fortress/grey/white. Sharp white highlights. Sepia glaze. Glaze with enchanted blue to give it a bit of a tinge down in the shadows. Glaze black to up contrast. Retouch highlights where needed.

The sword is pretty simple, black through shadow grey to spacewolf grey, with enchanted blue glazes. Sharp white and offwhite highlights.

Love it, man. That is one of my all-time favorite GW miniatures - you do it beautiful justice!

Atenociti's workshop do a nice range of resin accessories. The little grey sack is from a 1/48 Tamiya tank stowage set.





Edit: The windows are cut out; really hard to photograph, and when you can rotate the piece in your hand things are clearer, but I think these illustrate the idea that you can see the back of the mini:
