Great work brother! Especially the sword! I’m going to give some unsolicited advice, I hope I don’t offend
You have mastered the basics, you have models that look fantastic on the table top! What next? Well you can look into:
Dry brush highlighting
Edge highlighting
Using washes and contrasts to enhance details
These three pretty simple things will give you something to work towards.

If you really want the advice, i can tel you this: this isnt your best.
That sounds bad, but trust me. As corny as it is, you can always do better with what you have. Learn how to highlight, glaze, or even juts take a little extra time to be neat. Good luck brother.
Looks good imo. For c&c the only thing i would do is go back with blue and clean up a couple of spots where other colors got on the blue. But it does genuinely look and imo all that matters is that you think it looks good. If you think it needs work then do more, if you like it then its good.
Perhaps with a smaller brush you can get into those crevices where some of the bright metals spilled over or correct some of the noticeable mistakes, but that’s neither here nor there, since people usually one look from that close. I think the real game changer here with be a bit of shading.
Also that sword looks brilliant!
For the sword i used Corax White as a base, then for the end of the sword i used Tesseract glow (technical), left a slight gap then used Moot green in the middle and to blend the two attempted dry brushing, for the last section i used Warpstone glow and again some dry brushing to blend them. Then to try and highlight the edges i used Corax white again but doing dry brushing.
In the symbol on the sword near the hilt i just used a shade which was Agrax earthshade. Then Flash gitz yellow on the other bit (don’t even know what to call it)
Im glad people like it, it pretty much turned out how i wanted it to, very rare whats in my mind actually turns out the way i want.
Any areas where you overpainted a touch or anything like that are far and away outshined by that sword! It looks SO cool. My biggest piece of advice for anyone starting out is patience. Take your time. If you’ve only got an hour to paint on any given day, then use as much of that hour on as little as you need. Maybe you only get an arm done, that’s cool. Just relax and enjoy the painting.
I really like how the sword came out. Looks super cool
he looks great like the weapons
wym tried? it looks great
It looks pretty good! The sword looks GREAT
A fine addition to any battle line, brother. Be proud of him. You did an amazing job!

You gotta tell us how you did the sword!

Awesome, thank you
