Hi!
Well what are your thoughts/suggestions and feedback on this miniature

Ok, hope this doesnt seem harsh, but I believe the symbol on the chest is supposed to be gold according to proper regalia.

It is also hard to see but you may want to try a brighter or darker shade of red on the purity seal as it seems to blend in with the color of the armor, then again it could just be the picture.

I would also see about applying a dark wash to the leg joints at the waist, the hands and a few other places of the armor to help make the individual pieces of armor more pronounced.

But you are off to a good start. I only see minor flaws, otherwise your lines between the colors are very clean.

Some people will tell you to apply some edge high-lighting, I would say try to blend some more shades of red into the armor. That is a matter of preference really.

Ok thanks Games for you feedback, I will fix up the mistakes and incorporate your painting advice into my next models

perhaps it wouldn't hurt to try out a bit of highlight with his eye thing, like make 'em green or something XD.

Yeah, same here.
Mine are Angels Sanguine, and I am also in the process of casting my own shoulder pads with the proper symbol for the chapter.




Its all a matter of how far you want to take things, how close you want to be to what is considered Canon, how much time you want to spend on the details.

So, do what you like with your figs, they are yours. But try different things and see what you like and what you dont. You can always strip a fig and start over if you dont like the route its going =D

If you want to see some samples of mine, which are about table top quality; maybe slightly higher (no where near as good as some people on here), check out my P&M blog. I got several projects going on at once and as soon as I find the usb cable for my phone there is gona be a massive photo bomb lol
