Commissar Yarrick Completed

After having the model for 11 years I have finally completed my Commissar Yarrick.  I got the model along with the Steel Legion boxed army in 1999 and just never got around to putting paint on it until now.  All things considered I'm rather glad I waited.  My skills prior to the last few years weren't up to the task.  It's a very detailed model and I hope I've done it justice.

After taking these pictures I noticed a couple details I missed.  Yarrick's teeth and the text on the purity seal were missing and have since been fixed.

The colors I used for Yarrick's skin probably deserve a little explanation.  As an ancient hero of the Imperium, Yarrick has survived countless battles over hundreds of years, and I wanted him to look suitably ancient, almost zombie-like.  I wanted to give the impression that the his superiors would do anything to keep Yarrick's inspirational presence a part of the battles against the Orks, including reanimating him after death if needed.
