Still not sure how pics ended up different sizes. First time with a display base and playing with water effects.

where is this mini from?

reminds me of Rackham a bit, but I think I can't remember it in their range...

It is a Rackham mini.

and the weapon - are these polished and stained metals or painted and very smooth metallics?

Well I hate to answer a question with a question but.... You can polish metal minis?

Did the metalic bits with gunmetal, chaos black, and mithral silver (a new pot) why the space marine guy was so bad.

oh yes, you can. that's a pretty common way of achieving the metallic effect by historical modellers.

you polish it to achieve the metallics sheen and then stain it with dark washes to create shadows.

check the 6th paragraph for some notes I wrote long time ago.

and your metallics look so shiny that I thought you used the polishing method.

Hmm i never realised polishing was such an effective technique.

Oh Neo nice mini btw he's cool

Well I luv it! The metals are great and the fig has so much character!

There was one on here a while ago by someone who polished and lacquered a knights helm... looked totally fantastic and I think your metallics are brilliant BTW
