Very nice. Skin and armour are great and theres just right amount of blood.

 

[uberdark]

nicely done on the face, the subtle colors on it work nicely and give it a more realistic look. the human head doesnt seem to work as well though as the rest of the body. although that could probably be because i never really like the head in the first place. but nonetheles its still a great piece. the chipped metal is just wonderful, you ought to do a wip on chipping some day. just an idea.

rock on

Just to be different, I will point out what I think is off on the mini, stead of going on about the good bits like everyone else.

I personally don\'t like the blood. I just find the addition of it cheezy on most models and this is no exception. The splotches on the right arm look more like paint slips then intentional blood drips. Also I would expect the blood on the white fabric to soak in instead of coat the top as it has. Overally I think the mini would be better without it.

 

[fildunn]

fair enough, i think blood is one of those preference things and thats great!
personally i love a bit of blood, grime, dirt and chips(no not the potato kind!) etc

I have a question... where do you \'Eavy metal guys get those bases?? are they given to you by GW?

also, grimgor is really cool

 

[uberdark]

i believe that is a cap from a food item spray painted black.. i recall them mentioning that in january\'s white dwarf i believe. let me know if i am wrong fil.

 

[fildunn]

your not wrong uber, we just cast up jar lids basically, thats why most of the EM guys/gals use em. its kind of an EM thing i guess

 

[Larre]

cool!

I\'ll try that ^^

[fildunn]

i think one of em is a lid for glue, the metal ones cast better

 

[demonherald]

have a look on the grocery shelf there are some awesome shaps designs etc that make great bases.....things like pepper and spice pot lids are ideal for single mini sized bases...
