I've been out of 40k for a while and have only just recently come back,
first mini ive started to paint for my new SM army
looking for C&C (obviously it isn't finished, backpack, sword and basing still required)
still unsure how to paint the sword so any pointers would be nice
enjoy sorry for terrible phone camera quality btw

I like the pose a lot! Perhaps you could check some blending techniques for the cloak and the sword! I would chose some bluish hue for the sword just to contrast the regal red of the cloak.
