Striking Scorpion

[Hendarion]

Hey, folks.

Personally I would have expected that mini to be 9+, but I may be heavily biased of course. What do you think made the score to be lower and what should I improve on?

Congratulations, you had a sniper.

 

[Hendarion]

Oh, not again...

However, about the miniature itself? Any recommendation?

 

[MAXXxxx]

sniper gone, I'd also give 9 or 10 to this mini.
About the mini: nothing really. Transitions are nice, highlights are believably placed. Contrast is also ok. There is very little to none that could be done for a squad/army (or even just the mini itself) painting.

If it were display one mini only, then the concept (to show a little story) and base (bigger, more striking) could be improved, but then again at that point were go more into the vignette/diorama territory.

 

[Hendarion]

Alright, thanks. It's going to be a full squad and then the base for them all might be a bit more interesting.

And down from 9.2(9.0) to 9.0(8.7) in a single vote. Seems like sniping just never ends. Even registered users doing it. ...*sigh*...

I thought this was fantastic and voted accordingly (10) The edge highlights on the helmet might be a bit abrupt for some people’s taste. But forget the snipers, your eldar are excellent to scarily good

 

[Hendarion]

Can you explain a little more about what exactly is abrupt? Are they too thick or the colour too bright?
