i still need to do a bit of work on her,especially her tabard thing!!

[Kaled]

Almost right, this is what you need to do...

[mattausten86]

Thank you!!!

Does that make sense how I added you image?

I really like the green - it's a very gritty colour scheme where most people go for bright shiny metal armour.  The base is really good as well.  She should look really good when you finish her tabbard etc.

kind of,im pc-retarded lol

Thank you,it kinda happened by accidentmwhen i was doung something similar with power supply,and realised what watered down paint would look likemit reminded me of my mates ncrons,and so thought i would give it a try.

I'm not particularly sold on that colour scheme. When I looked at her, in the moment before I remembered it was your daemon-huntress, I thought it was a Nurgle character.

I think it's partly the photo, but the pale skin, the unsaturated green armour dotted with that raw skin pink of the purity seals and a general muddiness of tone is far more the Plague God than the God-Emperor.
A less unhealthy skin tone, a deep red (rather than pink) for the purity seal wax and some shiny "blingy" metals should fix it though.

I know it's really a matter of taste as to which you use, but I don't recommend black undercoats for "heroes" (although I seldom ever use black undercoat) - the darker tones it creates on the model tend to work better for evil models than good.
If I were going to use black undercoat for a good guy, I'd either use a foundation paint over any areas where I didn't want to take a saturation hit, or spend the time putting on extra layers and brighter highlights.

i deliberatley went for a pale colour for her skin,but the picture does make her look more pale than she really is,but the armour is actually a barogue type of gold and the green is supposed to give it the ''copper effect''

I thought the green gave her something of a military vibe - kind of a gritty soldier look rather than a knight in shining armour, but I agree that some more shiny metal on icons and symbols would help 'bling' it up and help bring out the detail on her armour.  And the purity seals do look a bit pink.  All easy things to fix...

How you've attached the servo-skull is a bit weird - I'd attach it so the 'step' on the cables that's aboyt level with the top of her head is the bit that sits on her shoulder.

My first thought was "Inquisitor Predator is here..."

I like it though.

I think the armour looks great. the wash is too turquoise to look nurglesque IMO.

[precinctomega]

I was rather glad to see the green armour.  Made her look very militaristic in the sense of being a professional soldier.  If you're going for a verdigris effect, they the deep recesses need to be much paler.  The colour is almost a white green.  Then you need to make the upper surfaces shiny and more silver than gold.



It's not all that difficult to do, but "shading" with an off-white is very counter-intuitive.
