Hi everyone!
My new big project - Skarbrand. I don’t really like the standart color of Khorn’s daemons’ skin, but I wanted him to be recognizable and easily identified as a Khorn’s daemon. Brush and acrylic. The airbrush was used only for priming. Also the guy has two bases: display and games.

That's some impressive work! Really like the more toned down red.

Awesome work. Missing some blood though.

Looks really great...I personally hate how he holds his axes so close to the heads but that's not your fault

Slick, not overly done, just riight.

Love this version of the daemon skin. Great work!

Amazing that's all I can say

My oh my...wow!

Fantastic paintwork...simply phenomenal!

Spectacular! If I was in two minds about one day getting this mini then now I think my mind is pretty much made up.

10/10!

He only holds them like that until he gets into melee, then he slides his grip down to get maximum choppiness. When you've been killing things for over forty thousand years, you learn how to efficiently handle your weapons. Skarbrand may be SO ANGRY ALL THE TIME, but he's turned his skill into instinct.

Well for closer combat and more strength and control higher on the handle you hold the better. Like when I clomb a tree to chop it down, I would never hold the bottom of the axe, the chances of it slipping and getting lodged in me is more likely so a shorter more controled less agressive approach is needed. The bottom of the handel is more or less used for just a reckless power swing.

Think about when someone uses a bo there is tape in the middle as well as both sides, you hold the middle as often as the edge.

Thats why things like broad swords and such are not used for man on man so much as anti calvary, a more short sword or cutlass is used. Less power more control. Look at the blood thrister with the giant axe if he held only he bottom of the axe he would have more power but...... He would just be swinging then whirling in a circle til it stoped. Also farther out you connect to another hard item the less strength you can extert to it the farther back you are.

would you share your silver nmm recipe? or are my eyes playing tricks and thats metal with washes/glazes of some sort
