Converted and painted to the Patrol Painting Competition on the Relic forums.

Fairly happy with the result, given the time taken (about 10 hours painting time).

This was a first attempt at water effect, and I think it turned out ok, so overall, pleased with this piece.

Liked this one when I saw the finished product, and it's extremely well painted. I think the overall appearance is lacking a bit in shading and contrast, so the figure overall looks "flat" color-wise, even in depressions and overshadowed portions. I also think that the highlights, especially on the darker armor portions, could've been a bit more subtly transitioned. For all that, though, it's still excellently painted and the drone vapor trail is a nice idea.

The only thing that I don't like about it is that I didn't paint it. Apok for the win. P.S Dude you got mad skills tell me you don't have a day job too.

Wow very nice and original colour scheme, and the pose is so realistic and dramatic. Only small problem is the gas trail from the drone, it looks kind of fake, but that is the only problem

What can I say, Ap0k, it's seriously pimp. The entire patrol is amazing, but this is one helluva centerpiece.

I like it. In general I don't think smoke trails, flamers being fired etc really work that well unless you are a fantastic sculptor. I like the idea and it looks ok but in some ways the smoke trail looks like a bottle brush. Some of the white lining on the dark grey armour plates is to thick. and some of the red lettering isn't sharp enough. Overall bloody good work though.

Very nice worl indeed. Something really new, this kind of camo. The Shas'o's lenses could be a bit better . Painting 7,5. "Coolness" straight 8 ! Greetings

By water effect I meant on the base You're pretty much spot on as far as the camo colour scheme goes though. So far the rest of the patrol can be found at 109467, consisting of 3 stealths. I'm still working on Kroot and Pathfinders, but the comp ends in about a month, so keep your eyes out for more coming in the next few weeks
