Armed with a Plasma Cannon and a Force Weapon, and as a member of the Athaenean Cult, he has access to a number of psychic powers that can turn the tide of battle to the Thousand Sons' advantage.
The model itself is 90% constructed from the Venerable Dreadnought kit, with a few add-ons from other sources - the loincloth, for example, is made from parts of an Inquisitor-scale model's coat. I'm still thinking about what extra detail work needs to be painted on, there's a fair bit of open space yet that I feel may require some eldritch symbols and further scroll work...

I really like that you went with a darker muted red rather than a brighter red like in the Horus Heresy art books
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a little lighter than the pictures indicate, but I really wanted to go with a deeper crimson. I may bring up the edge highlights a bit more but so far I'm fairly happy with it. I'm torn on the base though - I'm wondering if going with a grey slate colored base rather than the current worn sandstone would better contrast with the reds and golds of the model?
ReplyDeleteI like it. The detail work on the force weapon is eye catching. I don't know why, but I always like those little squiggly details painted on. Maybe you could add some to the armor?
ReplyDeleteThat's a excellent idea ITG! I'll give that a try - I'm thinking a series of Red Gore squigglies with a Baal Red wash to blend them in may be exactly what the model needs. Good call!
