So yeah, feedback is appreciated, as I'm generally trying to improve. I've finished a couple of models since this (a Herald of Tzeentch and an Ork Warboss), so I'll try and post more photos when I'm able to take some decent ones.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7324276.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7324276.page GMT Goliath's Orks - Big Mek Buzzgob
Really not a fan of the painted edge of the base though, it interrupts the immersion of the mini for me, like models who's weapons/tail etc drop below that invisible barrier.

I'm not a fan of the base, as it both 'breaks immersion' and draws the eye. My attention is drawn to the bright blue base, and not the model. Now, if your army is a mix of clans and you are using that to keep track of them (the Evil Suns have red bases, the Bad Moons have yellow bases,...) it makes sense, and it might look more unified on the table. But it does really draw attention away from the model. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7325309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7325309.page GMT Goliath's Orks - Big Mek Buzzgob atm, you have minimal shadows but not quite enough to truely show him off.

I really like the yellow/black banding on the power cables and i feel that the other yellow cable would benefit from it too, but i know how horrible that pattern can be to paint :/

Something ive started to do with my orks is a little red/purply wash on the lower lip touching the mouth line, it really adds some nice depth and colour change to an orks face. Have a google and see what you think. Its a really easy tip i picked up and i havent looked back.

the glass on the lower lens is also really nice
Love the model overall, but just added those points as you wanted feedback Keep the pictures coming!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7325480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7325480.page GMT Goliath's Orks - Big Mek Buzzgob

Do you think it would work if I went for a more muted blue for the base? maybe something like this? I quite like having the main theme colour for my army as the colour on the base, but I do see how it draws attention, so I shall try and change it when I next do some painting.

Tabletop it would also provide quite a nice pickout to really make each model standout on the board. But I can also see why people dont like this. But I feel its mostly a personal preferance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7333410.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/621563/7333410.page GMT
