criticsm U say...so ok...I do not like these metalic gold(hammer and grifon's head) it's look a bit unreal to me...try nmm techniques, painteing useing yellow and orange in place of gold... U have unneeded pices from boxsets , don't U? Try this technique on them...the same with his blue-metalic armour...It would looks a lot better if no shines... hmm I like these fiolet on 'handing' on hammer, looks realy realy nice...I like his blue cloack too, but I wish I seen some freehand on it...U know, spiralls and so one at edges...Valten is a character so he have to look more amazing than a common solider...but there is something unnormal to me...he is too blue I think...I mean add a bit more red or sth to this mini(4example hic gloves at background of cloak...too blue now, isn't it?...thats my advices... The biggest advantage of Ur model is his head...looks realy realy nice...I love these higlightind on his face, and big dark eyes:) I think overal note of this mini should be 7... it's not bad, but I think U can paint a lot better, just choice more colours to mini...C ya;)
