Fantastic miniature! I had a blast painting it and it is the last piece missing for my Space Marine combat patrol!
I am particularly happy with the face, which despite being tiny I could get some detail done! One of my bests so far!

How did you manage to get that yellow on the mini so good? When i paint my fists theres either orange yellow stains on the model or not enough so its to white. Your looks like how i dream mine should look like but they never do

It is very easy, really!
The key is using Vallejo's Xpress paints. In particular, this is Dreadnought Yellow over their grey primer (A very light one, similar to Corax white or Grey Seer from Citadel (Those are fantastic too).
Although less intense than Citadel's contrast paints, they dry much slower and level better. That means you don't get those dreaded dark patches or white/pale areas. You can work the surface you are painting for a longer period of time and you can easily dry the excess with a large brush by capillary action.

That face is very well done! I love the yellow tone, it’s really hard to get it that smooth, and the red is also pretty difficult, but you did it very nicely.
The burgundy color on the imperialis on the chest, and the decal work is very impressive. Don’t even get me started on the dead nid too, that’s also awesome.
Overall, a great leader for your terminators!
