So I am working on the Death guard drone, I´m trying to go for a resemblance of the heresy death guard scheme. I´m not really into the slimy look so i´m trying for a more "healthy mutated" look. I still need to fix the sloppy drilling on the gun barrels and I´m leaving the base for a later date. Anyhow I would really love some feedback on what you think work and what you would change. Thank you!

Feedback: It looks flipping great! Nice job.

There's not much I'd change, it's already really good. You could maybe do some brighter highlights on one or two areas to draw the eye in, and I think you should darken the upper half of the gem/light thing on the front. You could make the upper hald almost black, with a white spot as a light reflection. I understand that you might have done it the way you did to deliberately move away from making it look like an Eldar gem or something though!

This is looking really good so far! I'm liking what you've been doing with the weathering and the colours are shaping up nicely.

One tiny thing is you've painted a patch of stretched skin on the drone's face white, the bit that has a small horn poking through it. You may have done it on purpose, but wanted to point it out just incase.

Otherwise I'm not sure what else I'd change. Like feltmonkey said, maybe a few more highlights to bring a few things out, mostly the green propellers.

But yeah, nice job man, I'm liking it a lot

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah the eye lens does not really work that well so I'll rework it.

Thanks! Good that you spotted that nose skin thing, I thought that it has part of the armour. I'll redo it as skin.

Yep, looks mighty fine...base and roll on.

Looks good, but I feel a bit more highlighting on the dark green of the engines would really make them stand out more.

As a throw in - the GW new skulls pack is awesome idea for throwing a few down on DG bases! pre-ordered mine for this

This might help with the eye - hit it with gloss after to make it really punch?
