Really close to an 8.5 from my point of view... i really like the barbarian himself, great colour choices, very nice skin, especially the face looks very alive... worn old metallics, nice base which fits the miniature well... all in all really cool... i only could find critiques by going into deep details, not take this wrong please, if you would cherish some more moments and detailed attention to single parts from now on when painting something special like this guy is on its base - you will easily get your 9~10 from my side of town!... It's sometimes up to the details... Keep on happy painting and a lovely Christmas to you and your loved ones! Don't forget to say 'Hello' to me in Augsburg next year ;) - Regards Roman
