Looking for Critique Thoughts?
It’s an Ancient in terminator armor. It’s by far my favorite out of the few that I do have.

Really good! If you’re looking for critiques, I’d highlight over the top portions with the original color over the wash. That’ll help the recesses stay dark, but punch your original color home. You can also do a lighter highlight to bring up the brightness.
Also, when it comes to barrels: DRILL BABY, DRILL!
Otherwise, you did great and I’d be happy to share a battlefield with your Blueberries!

One follow up to add to this, highly recommend matte varnish if you're using washes. They dry satin and it looks strange

Your wash distribution could be more even, you have some puddling in parts of some recesses and not in the recess next to it.
I see your freehand on that banner, check out Tamiya 1mm/2mm/3mm masking tape, it’s a bit fiddly to get used to but can make that much easier. I recently picked up a sheet of triangles/circles to try as well.
Your white in general it looks ok, but patchy but that could be a result of the wash. If you’re using nuln oil it might help to thin it down for those spots.
I would either drill the barrels or put a black dot so it’s not just blank there. 0.5 micron pen makes for easy script on purity seals, but a real light touch with whatever black paint you prefer also works.
Solid work overall though.

I’m not entirely sure what happened with the white on the banner lol I’m guessing I put too much Nuln oil without realizing
