Chaos Warrior - looking for feedback

[GunjiNoKanrei]

Hi all,
I have just posted a Chaos Warrior from Excalibur Miniatures. He was a nice little project \'in-between\' so to speak.
He is painted completely in metallics and I am very curious how he will fare here on CMoN

Comments are appreciated

Yep, cool metallics, even if I don\'t like the mini.
But the blade\'s great!

very steely...

Nice work on the metallics...What is the \'green tint\' up by the eye.... Is that his eye glowing through??

 

[No Such Agency]

Nice. How long did he take to do?

Nice old armor. rust is well done.

I like it. Really nice armor, and I love the old goofy chaos warriors. I gave it an 8. :flip::bouncy:


edit: I just noticed the manufacturer...wow, they have some style going for them. Is this a currently available line or is this an older company?

Thx for the comments

@Supervike:
Yes, the green tint is supposed to be some glow coming from the eyes. Added almost as an afterthought and this shows :~(
EDIT: It looks a little better from this angle:

@NSA:
Not that long for me. I guess around 5-6 hours. And thx for the comment

@Taer:
The mini is currently available. Check out their homepage at http://www.excalibur-miniaturen.de
They are overall quite cheap but the casting quality is not the best (lots of moldlines, at least on this one). They have severall Chaos Warriors in a similar sytle.
Never tried their mailorder though.

very cool...

Yeah, that is what I thought it was....I love the \"glow\" ...


Thats a great way to add interest back to the face, especially when the rest is all metallic.

Great job.!

Don\'t care much for the mini, but great metallics and love the glowing eyes - 8

I think it looks great and i dig the model! very good subtle stuff going on in there, the rust and grit for examlpe. I like the toned down appearance and muted palette but somewhere in my head i think that this needs something to pop at you! cant put my finger on it but since it is a mini you\'ll need an eye catcher so that ppl look at it a second time and give em time to apreciate the subtle stuff on it. i think 1 detail would do, maybe the hilt on the sword, the shoulderpad or the helmet.

Anyways, enuff from me =P

Ahhh. I thought he was using Tammy\'s technique on old weathered metals in Harbinger #8.

Partly similar yes. But I hardly used any inks and I used wet-blending to create the initial shading and highlighting.

Once again thanks for the comments
