Rating: 7 The NMM and the colour scheme work pretty well but the reason why I gave you a 7 is I think you can improve by painting "cleaner", more exact. Face is also well done.
Rating: 9 Great mini as always chris! But i prefer the old standard bearer of yours for two reasons: i like the more the white beard for this guy (i've always imagined it very old! ), even if here you've painted better the beard! But the standard of the first was more accurate in contrast and i prefer his previous darker tone! But however is a full 9 for me, very nice creation!
