The Wraithknight did it - won first in class and overall at our local Hobbytown.

Congrats, nicely done.
The blood fx / splatters are pretty badass, and that iridescence effect is awesome

I think it is very well painted for sure, but for me the model is way too 'busy' in that everything is competing for your eye, nothing is subdued, everything is lasers and explosions, lol.

I'm sure it would be easier to see IRL but in photos its very distracting.

Needs more blood. But I agree with joyous - the model is well painted but extremely busy. I also don't feel the pose particularly suits the action that I guess is going on - same with some of the blood splatters.

Bloody hell!

Have to agree with SilverMK2 and joyous. It's excellently painted, and the Ork gibs are great, but it's a little too much for my eyes.
Can I ask how you did the effects on the Spirit Stones? They really stand out.

Now that's original =)

It is indeed "busy", but I think it works rather good with the "over-the-top" vibe it has.

The irridescent effect it pretty kewl, so are the blood spattered.

That's a well-deserved win, Ron ... n

Congratulations!

Looks like a comic book cover. Good job!

A well-deserved win. Great model.

I rarely see Eldar covered in blood. Definitely a visually intense model, but very well done!

Blood Level: Warhammer 40k

Sweet!

I also have to agree with this. The base is the worst of the problem, I didn't even notice the ork at first because everything was so bright and competing for attention. You'd get a lot better results if you re-based it onto a simple neutral color (dirt/snow/etc), and photographed it against a white background.

I disagree, there is a lot happening and it works for it, the one thing that I would have done differently is the stance, to make the fact that its actually doing something (cutting the ork) more noticeable, and as such actually draw attention to the ork in an indirect manner.

Very skillful painting otherwise.

Sweet modeling and paint

Way to go Ronnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I think a corpse pile would have worked well / better with that entry. There is so much blood, and I think, only one beheaded orc. The size of that eldar thing would require such excessive levels of killing to acquire so much blood xD

I do like the visor effect.

How did you pull off the iridescent head thing?

The blood splatter effect put the model over the top.

More than the blood and guts, it's the glitter effect on the spirit stones and the helm that make this really stand out.

Great job.

As others have said, my only issue is that the static poses of the models don't match very well with the very dynamic action scene that you've setup here. But you put a lot of work into it, it looks great, and the paint job and blood effects are great.

If someone is telling you your problem is too much lasers and explosions, I'm pretty sure that means you're winning!
