The wings look nice as does the glow effect! I really think the metals could use some more work both shading and highlighting wise.

[Corvus]

I really like the glow effect!

[mahon]

my favorite parts are: the banner (I like the smooth flow of shadows on it) and glow effect (I know it would look better on darker wings, but it's good enough for me)

tabletop quality you say? I say I'd like to see more of such units on tabletops.
good attention to details plus some advanced effects.

things to improve in future? metallics seem to be flat. they could be made more interesting with a simple glaze or two.

thanks guys i agree about the metals but as they are for table top minis (and ebay) and they only took about 6 hours work i am pretty satisfied with them
thanks again for the comments

the whole unit took six hours? WELL DONE

and you're right about one thing - if you want them to be tabletop quality, no need to push them any further.
