Here ¡s an avatar that I¡¦ve done some conversion work to. His right arm has been re-positioned and I've re-sculpted the elbow and right side of the chest. The base was made out of milliput and Greenstuff. This was my first proper attempt at SENMM and I'm quite happy with the results. Even though It has been sent off to its owner (a commission) I would still like any comments so I can use the advice for further works. Here's some people that I would like to thank from the forums that have given me advice and feedback. I would also like to thank wrestlerguy21 and Silphid for the tutorials that I have taken ideas from. The concept of this piece was taken from Mark Gibbons artwork in the old Eldar codex.

Thanks:
wrestlerguy21, Silphid, Ritual, Godlikebuthumble, Katana_Angel, Vincegamer, Airhead, Einion, Twjolson,WurzagUdUraZahuba, Shawn R. L., provoke_me, supervike, Drake Farstrider, Hi-lite-r, Baker, Brokenblade, donga666, bayrodney, Ogrebane, Usagi Ninja,
Sniffles and Drunkonduty.

Thanks all for your feedback. One of my oldest pieces and best rated thanks to comments in the wip forum. @ krokar: There are many 'dark' titled usernames and businesses on the web but there is only one dark art miniatures…..completely different than studios. The name you refer to seams to change around every so often from ‘dark art studios’ to ‘dark art’. All the best to all the “darks” out there!

Amazing work. It just makes me sad. I hate watching battle brothers die in such graphic ways... *wipes tear from eye*... Anyway, great job. The Lava thing with the melting power armor, genious.

This is almost certainly the best SF mini I've seen. The detail and realism is truly amazing. The synergy of all the parts (lava effect, charred skull, the sword, the armour...) makes me wish I could give an 11.

9.5 This is a sweet mini. It is almost perfect. My only concern was the back of the loin cloth. It just didnt seem to have had the same level of attention as the rest of the mini. Everything else is amazing. The NMM is flawless and the lava effect is stuning. it actually looks like its 1400 degrees in there. The half burnt SM caps it all off. Bravo
