I think you're right, I might give it a touchup.
Dreadclaw69 wrote:Great work! I'd second Elbows's comment on the halo and gold, unless of course the camera washed out so of the work you've already done.
With gold I typically use either just Agrax Earthshade, or a Sepaphim Sepia wash, with a recess shade of Agrax Earthshade. Then highlight up to silver on the extreme edges.
I think i am going to try exactly that, but Army Painter soft tone or brown, it has a nice... orangey-ness to it.

While Brother-Dreadnought Invictus
insists that he was once a Black Templar off on crusade, being interned into a Dreadnought Sarcophagus is often confusing to the Marine contained within. Sleep, brother! We will rouse you again when it is time for war.

Thank you for the advice. This is my first attempt at doing them so I have a lot to learn. I had just done a single layer of Mithril Silver which sort of worked but of course didn't have much contrast, as you see.
