Wonderful painting (those wings!), beautifully photographed. I really, really like the juxtaposition of the snow and the lava on the base. Nice chaosy touch!

I am glad you guys like! The next thing I am working on is a Vulkan He'stan conversion. I will post pics of it when I take some later on!

I was asked for some pictures on a white background so I thought I would share them here too.









I hate white backgrounds. But hey ho.

that hand is begging to be holding something though.
i wonder how a brimstone horror would look in his hand?

I have seen people put the orb from his weapon in the hand, that looks pretty cool.

I kept it empty because he has a cool looking eye in it!

I guess this means it'll be in White Dwarf or some other feature? Very well deserved :-)

Very cool...excellent paintwork. I admit I'm kind of immune to all of the professionally painted Magnus models coming out. I also don't understand the base very much (ice and lava couldn't exist that closely). It is wonderful paintwork though!

It may appear in White Dwarf, it may not! Honestly no idea!

And snow and Lava:



The base is inspired from Wrath of Magnus and his warlord trait.

I clicked on the thread and then had to click off immediately because my brain couldn't handle the awesomeness! Kudos!

If I can get my Magnus' skin tone to even approach yours I'll be supremely happy! You've done an excellent job! And the base is just great!

One of them filthy casuals...

Thanks guys, really appreciate the comments!

I must have done more than 100 hours on him. It got interrupted in the middle of doing him as I was moving house!
