Underrated or what?

7.3 when I looked, that doesn\'t seem underrated to me. Mainly do to the fact I think there are more space marine minis on this site then anything else. It\'s hard to find them still cool and interesting even if painted very well.

It\'s interesting to see one done in metallics as you don\'t see that very often but I found that the colours weren\'t consistant. Bright in some areas and dull in others. Due to being metallics there\'s a good chance this is mainly a lighting issue, but I can\'t really tell.

People havent bothered to look at the details, such as the freehand on the shoulder arrow, decent blacks, decent osl, nice base and fairly good metalics. IMo should be at least 8

Don\'t get me started I just put a new one on today and i know it is not a top scorer but I am sure it deserves more than 6.3 which it is currently getting after 20 votes. I am afraid that the voting on this site is starting to be hard to believe.

I feel it\'s an 8-9 model. I gave it a 9. Lovely work, I can\'t imagine an entire army done that way, it\'d blow my eyeballs out!

I think I\'m usually treated pretty fairly around here. I juts put a model up and I was hoping for a 7.5 but I think it\'s current score of signifigantly less is more accurate. Pic\'s and a bunch of stuff bring scores down for most. I think 95% of the models on the site would score about half to a full point more in real life.

A 8.0 model to me. The problem is, metallics are heavily and fastly underrated. Its also hard to see any big highlights in metallics too. If you do it really correct, the model will look so incredibly clean and realistic but some people may think it just got a basecoat and there is a big light reflecting all the metal.

This miniature is wooo:D tip-top. The artist also tried to add something special to it: the eyes, these were the first things that got me. Awesome miniature, and IMO it has the mark it deserves to have.

I\'d say its probably underrated, but cmon voting tends to be all over the place. My latest entry is getting lots of 5\'s; I think many don\'t grasp the concept of \"tabletop quality\".

I\'ve got stressed about it before, but I\'m starting to see that the votes aren\'t worth much and not worth being concerned with. I\'m going to continue to show my minis here in hopes of getting input and feedback; it\'s definitely worth it. :beer:

P.S. To be perfectly honest, I could see myself giving that a 7 if I was burning through the gallery. It\'s a great job, but - *yawn*-... another space marine. 40K in general is so played out... (totally my own opinion, don\'t lynch me!! :no: )

It settled into a more deserved score quickly. Declaring a mini underrated after less than 50 votes is a not really necessary though.

I\'d agree. Another Space Marine...meh... Between 7 and 8 seems about right.

The Ork Biker that I put on at weekend has climbed up to 7, but was only getting 4s! I was starting to wonder if I had offended everyone in a past life!

The whole voting issue is subjective as has been stated many times before. One person\'s wonderful space marine, is anothers \"Meh SpaM\".
Personally, it doesn\'t \"Rock my world\".

I gave him a 9. The metallics looks great. Be proud! :D Also never let voting here discourage you. It is very subjective.

I think it\'s current 8.2 is fair (Give or take .5). I gave it an eight.

I am hard to please and rarely give 10\'s. 9\'s still have to make me go wow!
