Thanks everyone for feedback, im glad you like the scene;-)
Igloo: im thinking about starting IW army too, but i im still waiting for new dex, as i just love all kind of terminator models i would like to have terminator army supported with olbits/vindicators, but have to way if dex ll allow us to have scoring terminators as im sick of power armoured marines and would like to stay away from PA for some time.
Bullfrog: Its vere easy, i just slapped on vallejo model air gold on to bronze parts and washed them with agrax earthshade wash. Then added mix of turquoise/scorpion green to few spots to represent rust and thats it. I hope that helped

Yup, that's wonderfully sinister. It's got good weight, a wonderful ponderous murder to it as he closes in to seal the deal.
Shame you won't get your Iron Warriors Seige List, or termies for troops. But you could convert the heck out of some power-armoured minis, give them a more weighty and baroque feel, maybe mix-and-match with WHFB chaos warriors?
Run a whole lot of wfrp and other rpg's, play The Woods and Kill Team, gather and look mournfully at imperial guard knowing I'll never finish enough to use them on the tabletop

Yeah, just opened new chsm dex and im disapointed as i can not build what i wished for. Considering using space wolves dex to build iw army but then there is issue with reaper autocanon/cyclone missile launcher colision so i think my iron warriors terminator army project ended at the stage of planning:-/

You paint very well, there is no doubt about that.
However, I figure since you are looking for constructive criticism and feedback, I wanted to comment a little more critically then just praising you.
Critically, I don't understand what you are doing with your colour composition. There just seem to be way too many spot colours, you have purple cloak, yellow cables, blue cables, red blood trail, green, brown and yellow grass, yellow chevrons, white snow. Your model is incredibly busy, and on first look, to me personally was confusing.
While I don't want to diminish the effort you have put into the model, for future pieces I think reducing the number of colours used would be better. For example, purple cloak and cables, only yellow grass with the white snow, just try to make things a little less busy.

Yes, you may be right, i struggle with the colour composition on my miniatures and ll try to think more about it next time. I think best way how to improve this would be to study work of others more and think about it, so definetly i could use more theoretical prep work. before i start painting. Thanks for reminding me;-)

Astra Militarum Iron Warriors Army: Enyo Company Enyo (Greek: Ενυώ, English translation: "warlike" in Greek mythology; Roman: Bellona), was an ancient goddess of war, acting as a counterpart and companion to the war god Ares. She is also identified as his sister, and daughter of Zeus and Hera in a role closely resembling that of Eris; with Homer in particular representing the two as the same goddess. As goddess of war, Enyo is responsible for orchestrating the destruction of cities

One of the things I like most about this is how dark the Iron Warrior looks. Usually when I see Iron Warriors, they're bright and shiny. I like how your model does the opposite without losing any detail. I'm not sure about the blue/turquoise on the eyes and weapons given that, at first glance, it may appear to be the same effect as the beaten bronze rather than something totally different. However, I agree with the poster above that too many colors isn't necessarily a good thing. Maybe a way to overcome that while retaining the same color (and looking awesome) would be that one effect that makes blue in the eyes and weapons appear to be glowing (I can't think of the term often used at the moment).
Love the rest of the model, especially how it appears the victim is trying to either get away or reach for safety. There's definitely a sense of desperation and hopelessness regarding his situation.
