Looks great Andy!
I have a couple of bugs though. I would have kept these to myself but since you mentioned this was up for competition I thought I would share them:
The gem on his chalice looks like it is reflecting light from a different source than the big gem on his shoulder.
The droopy iron halo to me needs to get fixed. You can get a new one on e-bay for cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sisters-of-...30?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item19fb096a9a
Finally, on the steel part of the wings it looks like you are not as smooth as usual. Are you going for a bit of a textured look, like milled steel? If you are going for texture I think you should either make it more textured, or just go full-on smooth blends.

ah man, cant you figure out something funnier than marines as a squad? 99,99% of all squads at GD are bloody space marines! ;P

Really surprised you went 40k with your history/success with fantasy.

Wait, they judge based on comedy? Funniest mini wins?! In that case, paint one of those Arnold Rats that just came out

Taken some advice from Lee and am going to come back to him when the rest of the squad are done and really sort him out as he clearly is the focal point.
anyway going with a veteran tactical squad (just an excuse to do more GOLD) was going to go with jump pack guys but I had these lying about and i am v skint at the mo so here we are. Just the gold helmet and trimmings done needs some glazing in the shadows and then onto the reds.

I would probably make the same mistake. It almost just looks like part of the helmet design, doesn't it? Plus it looks like a crack rather than an outward mould line.
Another thing that struck me as odd. I thought you hated painting red? Is this a case of you challenging yourself by attacking your "weaknesses?" I think your red is fine, but I know you hate it....

warmer blues can be used if you take down the intensity of a color by adding a beige instead of a grey ....hence warmer blues....color theory gentlemen ..color theory...Betty Edwards ...lmao lololol

I've just looked at the whole batch of them and shit they all have major slippage what I thought was part of the helmet design is were the whole mini is skew whiff. Looks like I'm going to have to eBay some jump pack guys as there's no way I'm gonna be able to sort it out
Andy, you noob!
