I got this mini from Forge World as it fits the theme that I'm running for my Armies IG and Red Scorpions, plus it is a lovely model. First attempt at an actual competion model, got Silver at the IPMS Nationals at Telford in Sci-Fi. The model's base is magnetized to the plinth so that I can remove him for gaming. Any comments or critique would be appreciated. Again excuse the quality of image, I've found it's difficult to get the lighting right on miniatures.    |

thats incredible!
That cloak is awsome! the sword is cool! the familar is carrying toilet paper?!
I love it!
I really can't find anything to complain on...
maybe the highlight and shade on the cloak is a little of. The highlight seems yellow and the shade looks red... but thats the lover part only, the hood is unbeatable!
the shoulder pad looks good too.
in conclusion, you should have a gold for that.

As I said the photos aren't the best quality, in reality the highlight shading is much more subtle, the highlights were done with Andrea golden ochre, added to Andrea brown leather base, the shading is Andrea matt black added to the same brown leather base, to blend the 2 I used several glazes of GW chestnut ink, which is why the highlights might look yellow and the shading red. Yes the loo paper familiar, made me laugh too, but in the fluff Lok must have been sh1 Ting bricks when The Red Scorpions left and he saw those Bio-titans advancing, so is rather apt. If you had seen gold you wouldn't argue, a fantastically painted FW Eldar Avatar. cadian117The only good 'Nid is a dead one, although I wish I hadn't gone for such a blood red gory entrails, being insect like I think a chitinous black, dark green through to lime green innards would have been better |

The blood needs to be more red, I dont know if its the lighting or what, but I think it could use some flesh wash. Other than that great job. Gotta love it when stuff gets sliced in two!

Great mini, even if I don't agree with Bill555.
a) Tyranids can have any blood colour
b) dried blood tends to get brownish

Thanks guys for looking.
I tend to agree about the blood needs to look betterm but not more red, I think a dark brown leather mixed in with blood red ink, might offer a darker more genuine look to it, or perhaps a wash of green ink, just to make it more alien.

In my Opinion, The model looks great.
Yes, Blood gets darker as it dries, but maybe the blood was like, floursecent red to start with.
and its not REALLY loo roll, its a skull familiar/scribe, its records data on its "loo roll"

"uh, where are the records from last battle?"
"uh... um... whoops."
"did you really use the battle records to wipe your rear?"
"might 'ave."
