Hi! Only recently got back into the hobby after a break of about 6 years. Really enjoying all the great kits and models available these days. Ive always wanted a large blood angels army painted to a display/showcase standard so might take me a while but theres no rush 
Anyway, heres my first mini in 6 years. Hope you like him

Looks like painting for you is like riding a bicycle. This model looks fantastic! The colors and smooth, bright, and crisp! I would love to see a pic of the back, as well as some more of your models.

For the Lion and Terra!
Because nothing in the galaxy is black and white, Mankind views the Space Marines as a last resort. The last line. When all else fails. They take up the burden. The noble defenders of Mankind. The last hope.
With finecast you can bypass the washing stage and throw them straight into the bin.
Or cut out the middleman and just flush some money down the toilet.

The second looks just as good as the first. My only suggestion would maybe be to go up one more level on the highlighting on the Chaplain's helmet. I think making it more ivory bone wouldn't make it so seamless in color to the parchment. I'd also take a micropen and add some script to said parchment.

Nice looking models . One question- what did you use to make the rock on the base of the first model? Cork?

This is some really nice looking stuff overall, I can't really offer much advice or suggestions. Only thing I would do personally is add little bits of weathering to the models, but that's just me. Most people prefer to keep theirs clean.

@WOLF, your avatar is great! I sat here while I should be working, and watched Mr. Bean make faces. Great choice! Thanks for the laugh!

Thanks for the new pics! I love how rich your reds are. They're nice and bright and have a bit of a classic look to them. The Death Company is coming along nicely.

Some tremendous work here. And congratulations on getting back into the hobby. Took a ~14 year break myself before getting back in around the 6th edition release. You obviously haven't lost any ability. Look forward to seeing more.
