Nick did you edge the plates by hand, or is it more precise work with the Airbrush?
Few criticisms -
1) Looks like the paint on the Inquisitors Power Sword is a little thick. This close up, it's noticeable although at gaming distance it's probably not. Do you thin your paints, because the rest of the colours look really smooth.
2) Again something that at gaming distance doesn't matter, but you seem to have put a lot of effort into the faces, having their eyes done would rally make them shine. Don't go back and try (heaven forbid you ruin them trying to fix them,) but maybe next time.
3) The Runes on Njals Runic Weapon could do with being a contrasting colour, to the main body of the staff. Possibly also doing them on his Armour (although looking at the GW site [I wanted to make sure it was Njal, and not my memory playing up,]) they have left the Armour ones alone. But at the moment, on the Staff for definite, it appears to be notches that are in the shadows, rather than something of power.
Yeah all the plates are airbrushed with orange and two shades of yellow. All the edges have been highlighted by hand. Tried edging with an airbrush but never seemed to get it right! N yeah I agree with the inquisitors sword. Kinda rushed it if I'm honest n didn't dilute the paint enough. Ahh well :p
As for the eyes.....,.,. I simply can't do them! Every time I've tried they just look crazy so I've decided to give up! But yeah, one thing I wish I could do!
