Finished this guy a few weeks ago, and finally got around to shooting a showcase for him. I'm honestly quite pleased with the way he turned out. I think I nailed the lens on the eye. Might be the best one I've ever done. The addition of the jump pack, and the minor conversion of the left arm to a force axe really help to set the unit apart, as it's a common model.
He painted up rather quickly, (that, or I'm getting faster) and has the distinction of being one of the few models that I didn't use an oil wash on. As he is mostly black, I didn't need to wash the details on the armor, and only used a little GW agrax and nuln on the details. The cloak was simply airbrushed in different values, and accented with a crevasse wash and some edge highlighting.
I considered doing object source lighting (OSL) on his outstretched hand, but as this was an important model, and I had never done it before, I decided not to risk it. I'm certain there will be other chances to do it on less important character models.

Said it in the other thread, but seeing our two "next" to each other, I'm impressed how smooth the paint job is on your guys. Even the damage is clean.
