Hope you like him!

The term fantastic does not do this justice

Wow....... all I can say is wow! That face is the best I have seen!
The stone lion is very well done! The shading on the blue is very good also!

My head just exploded!

the colour variation on the grey is just mind-blowing!
great job.

Wow, that is one incredible model. Very impressed, looks amazing.

FW makes some incredible Marine characters, and you've given this one an incredible paintjob to match. Very well done. Would love to see more Astral Claws if you've got 'em!

Just awesome sauce! I'm not familiar with the model, but I assume it's supposed to represent him before he went bananas. Is this for a comission, or for personal use? Display piece, or centerpiece of your actual army?

That guy is a hoss and you've given him a superb paint job! I like it, i like it a lot!

Wow, I wish I could do faces half as well as you! Awesome job with him, it is an epic model with an epic paintjob to match! Congrats!

pffff O could do that *pants catch on fire*

.... phweew... its like a SOUna.. in here...

*gestures at legs*
No mas... pantalones

Wow, this is beautiful! The face is fantastic, you've really made use of all the detail, very natural. The variation and blending work on the blues and greys are great, as is the banner.

I see this is your first post too, I hope to see more from you soon!

That is incredible!

Thanks for the positive feedback!

It's a ForgeWorld figure for the Badab War-era Huron. It was great fun to paint, since FW packed a lot of detail into the figure. He will likely just be a display piece - I don't have any plans to paint up more Astral Claws to keep him company.

That's a beautifully painted model. Great detail, great character, great execution. Top notch!

Genuinely some of the best all-round painting and most aesthetically pleasing miniature I've seen for a long time, which whilst it may not sound like much, is really a huge compliment.
Great work all round man, done absolute justice to a brilliant model, really well done.

Wow that is amazing....

Wonderful job. I really like the galaxy and the shading on the face and tabbard.

Well done, sir or madam.

Wow, that is one lovely Huron! you have painted one of the finest examples of a bare head i've seen! overall a wonderfully executed model with some very ipressive paint work!

Hot model. I want to convert one of these to a Grey Knight. Grey job on the painting. Especially the flamer.
