Practice at speed painting of high quality

So, I have a spare Khorne Champion model for Fantasy, I don't have a Chaos fantasy army though so I decided to use it as a test model to see if I could complete to it to a high standard in a short amount of time.

The basic process was thus:

Base coat with German Dark Yellow (it looks more green than yellow, but whatever)
Next was a layer of Hull Red, a nice deep dark red that works well for Khorne models
Then came the metallic parts using GW Mithril Silver
After that I applied a fire red to most of the open parts of armour and black to the cape
I then added the finer touches of the gold trim, the brown leather, the skin colour
And of course, the skulls were painted bone white, then slathered with sepia wash.

At that point I could've left the model, it would be fine for table top purposes, but not good enough to represent a hero of an army. So then I added some washes and highlights, put some grey on the black cloak to give it some shading effect and some sepia wash on the flesh tones.

In all, here is the final product. I'll let you be the judge, but I truly welcome some feedback on this guy.

The time was done in two sessions of approximately 1-2 hours each session.
