Holy Throne that looks awesome!!

Must... Resist... Impulse... buying....

The first head doesn't really seem to fit, but otherwise it's pretty impressive.

Agreed, it's the skeletal Egyptian style head I like.

Too many wings!

Other than that, I'm a fan. I just wouldn't want to paint that many feathers.

God! you guys are good!

(also when is that khorne daemon coming out?)

This looks pretty special. Will take another look when they release images of the actual mini.

I was also thinking that with a bit of Marine kit bashing and head swap... Sanguinious lives!

Ya know, the crazy part is that this didn't pull up on the Raging Heroes site for me until I saw this thread.

Looks like a sweet Tzeench Demon Prince to me.

I can see this in a cult themed army worshipping an aspect of the 'star-child'. Makes a great Tzeench daemon.

This would also make a really sick C'Tan.

Brilliant work as always. And the prospect of variable scales is exciting too.

The second head screams Nagash to me actually!

That's pretty crazy over the top. Should be really cool to see painted.

Thanks for all your comments on Akzeltolt!
Here's the latest update: currently, the accessories and weapons include 3 different magical staffs, an Aztec-like sword, an Egyptian-like sword, and an Egyptian-like scythe. We are also not happy with the lizard head as is and will probably come up with another version.

As always, we are most interested in your feedback to make this mini even better so don't hesitate to comment, here or on our blog.

I don't know. They're not feathery enough to warrant special care, so I think they're
intended to be metallic. As such, you could get away with drybrushes and washes
taking care to pick a metallic that will contrast/complement whatever color you choose
for his ghostly form.

The wings are indeed intended to be massive jewel-like ornaments. More on that coming up with Akzeltolt's background.

Ah, ok. That makes my complaint a little less major: That the model appears to have visible hips and legs.

Let me explain that a bit: With that many wings, the model reminds me of a Seraph. However, Seraphim are traditionally represented as torsos with 6 wings that hide their lower bodies, being arrayed much like the model's wings, but with one pair mounted towards the front(which obscures anything that may be below the navel of the angel).
