I bought a box of cadians the other day just for a display - I don't actually play 40k.

I have still got to base him and make a few changes here and there - the brown areas need a bit more highlighting IMO. all other C&C highly welcome - just don't be too harsh, it *IS* my 1st ever 40k soldier i have painted

many thanks

Looks quite nice. brown has a nice camouflage-y touch to it.

Great job James!
The armor, face, and helmet are extremely well done for a first 40k fig

The only thing I would touch up is the clothing... somehow it doesn't look as realistic as the GW scheme...
Anyways, keep us updated

Nicely done! Love the the way you painted the green things.

Superbly painted! Absolutely love him, and the detail is astonishing! Nothing bad to say here :-D

Keep up the awsome work :wink:

Yeah, great detail! :yay:

I like the idea of a white case on his belt, keep it up!

EDIT - Keep up the good work I mean, not his belt! :lol:
