@ wolf fang: my bad, i thought the blood was where the warrioer was standing on him xD still looks great 
@ abstract: real night work there bud, absolutely love the face, very realistic, only criticism would be the armout looks a little flat, would have jsut enchanced it by having a few more shadows and highlights, but still great work.
if you dont mind me asking how much did you get for him?

This no longer a WIP but I thought you might like to see the end result. Here is my version of Haldir a very detailed model which made it difficult but fun to paint all the same.
Hope you like it.
Hope you like it.

here\'s my demon slayer all done and has a cool pair of pants too
@Ghaffasa- Stop double posting.:flame: Those ultramarine legs are looking pretty good so far. Try to get better pictures though.
@MathewBaich- The entire miniature is missing its darks and lights. Everything is too close to the standard colors. Work on that chiaroscuro.
@Wolf Fang- That bottle top is the actual stand you\'re going to be using?... I\'d advise against that. Also, typically imo tyranid \"scales\" look better with vertical streaks of paint instead of the horizontal lines that you are using. That and that warrior gun is simply too big. Nice earthy color palette though.
@HateTheState- The recesses in your terminators face are too dark in comparison to the rest of his face. You should try to smooth that out by using some glazes.

@ MathewBaich Your dwarf seems very flat. I think you need to highlight and shadow him much more.
@HateTheState your termie is starting to look great. The armour could do with more definition but I can see its early days.
@Wolf Fang the Tyranid is looking great. I must paint some of these up soon. I like the colour scheme but at the moment they are also looking a bit flat. Highlights are your friend.
@Ghaffasa what I can see looks good but the photo is really to small to judge properly.
@abstract incendiarie I really really like what you have done with this figure. I just think that if you had spent longer on the armour it could of been outstanding.
@tidoco2222 That little guy looks fantastic. Those lotr minis are small and fiddly and you have done a great job.
@angus147258 what I can see looks ok but the photo is very very dark.
Well this will the last post of my chaplain. I have just a few bits and pieces left. I have changed the various parts that people have noticed to be wrong so im hoping all are happy now.
Lysander has now started to move along. I am going for a battle damaged model this time. Still early days.
Comments welcome please.

for the highlights there are some only not exagerated, and the cam doesnt really pic them up. as for doing the carapace viticaly if your saying what i think your saying i am doing it that way.. il\'l get some better pics later. also everything is already glue on the base (except the gaunt) as its all i had... are you sudgesting to hack the bottom off?

Slaanesh Penitent Engine WIP
Aside from the converted Nurgle Champion I\'m also still working on my Emperor\'s Children army. I still don\'t have the ideas I\'m looking for on the penitent engine conversion, but I\'ve started the legs as they\'re my favorite part of the model.
Still a good deal of highlighting to do, as well as some detailing, but I\'m very happy with the \"oily\" look I\'ve achieved on the hydraulic bits.
Feedback is, of course, appreciated. After a couple of requests I\'ll also shrink the images a bit and stop linking to them.
Thanks in advance.

@Mathewbaich: He looks good. Perhaps the hair could use some more highlights, but that\'s just a matter of taste.
@EPstudios: Sorry for the double posts, it wont happen again.
@Talonicus: Lysander\'s face looks awesome. Perhaps his armour could use some more depth.
@misterjustin: Great metallics, it\'s a bit difficult to separate the details, but from what i can see it looks good.

Talonicus: The chaplin looks great, and lysander freehand it´s very good
Misterjustin: It´s a strange mini but i like it a lot.

the highlighting on that fist is really off, someone mentioned it earlier i think
the backpack looks gorgeous though, i think its perfect, however your blending techniques seem to deviate alot part section to section(you may not be done i dont know)... the rear legs look different than the backpack and the front arms, the front legs look different from everything...etc
i dont have the model, but i think the dark brown on the bone chest might come out a bit too far, however if its more curved than it looks i think its alright
annd i think you might have too much white on your gold, ive never seen gold shine that much white, the best gold on your model is the piece where the hose attaches on the fist(front view) more yellow minimal white, but this is from looking, not from an experienced NMM(just started)
love the hand painted designs and such
@hate the state
i agree with other comments, the face is over defined, but the battle damage and weathering is looking very nice so far
@matthewbaich
i agree again with other comments, that it seems to be that the gold and the skin have the same tone, and because of that the gold really doesnt give the feel its supposed to
also with the red hair and the redish skin, again neither seem to deliver, try:
-lightening up the skin by adding more highlights
-add brighter and darker highlights to the gold, its ok to have some black in the very deep recesses, and its ok to have bleached bone/white(i like bone as a final highlight because its not pure white and holds a yellow/brown shade to it)
- quit using the same general tones for washes(oranges/reds/browns)
however if the hair was orange it might look a bit better(but red can be done well with ideas mentioned above i believe)

The armour highlighting technique is the same throughout the model, its probably just the photo to me in person it looks exactly the same.
The fist I have repainted 3 times now. I am sure that the highlight is in the correct place and the intensity of the gleam seems ok, I am not sure what to do about this damed fist.
The gold I think you are correct about, looking at it again..(1 million times now and counting) it does seem to be over highlighted.
Thanks for all the critiques, keep em coming.
