I had overlooked the servitor part on the side of the Valkyrie. That is awesome .

Also I challenge you to find a spot by the rear ramp on the Valkyrie to paint to look like someone wiped the grime off of it to say wash me . Excellent weathering all around.

Looks pretty cool man, I personally would have limited the colours even more, you've got the great looking grey armor, a green hammer, white tabbard, purple cloak and yellow (looks yellow to me) and a bone cloak.

I think having the three colors across the bottom of the model (green white purple) makes the bottom half a bit to busy, even continuing the white of the tabbard for the inside of the cloak might help that out a bit.

Cheers for the C&C amigo! Hmm, I see what you mean. Let's see where it is after inks/washes and highlights, and work from there. What you're seeing as yellow is the khaki, I think. I might take the tabard to purple rather than the lining to white (an easier "fix"), maybe?
Meantime, exorcist is built:

More gs filling than I care to think about, but off to get primed today, hopefully.

The exorcist looks great, as for Coteaz, he looks really good too.

I think you need to make the psyber eagle a bit darker though, it looks very yellow, and the white tabard, if youwant to keep it whte, then maybe a bit mre shading and give it some purple detailig to tie it i to the cloak, either that or go for a deep red or same purple as the cloak?

He's coming along quite nicely graven. I got to face him a couple of times at Adepticon (he was in whalemusic's army). Very cool figure... though the brooding eagle reminds me of Snoopy doing his vulture imitation on his dog house.

Haha... I am not sayin Inquisition symbols and flames and skulls, maybe just a few stripes,

Like a thick purple horizontal strip at the bottom hem of the tabard with a thin(ner) stripe above it.

Btw I have bare patches on my models, cos freehanding scares the bejeezies out of me, so you are not alone there!
