I was thinking of trying to make a daemon Prince that looks like he is lava cooling. Meaning the shadows would actually be bright orange/red and the typical highlights would be black. Anyone ever tried it before? Think it would look cool or would it just not work or look right?

I imagine it would look pretty similar to the balrog scheme, which would look good on a daemon prince if done well.

Yep that's exactly what I was envisioning. Thanks for pointing it out, now I have something to look at and emulate!

Hey
Heres a test model I made up when I had a similar idea.

I warn you though it was an absolute pain in the bananas to do.
My method was to paint the whole mini white then the crevises with thinned out yellow then progress from the yellow outward through my reds then paint all the outer areas black, fix all the lava i messed up about 15 time it takes alot of trial and error to get it right so try it out on another miniature before hand.

Hope this helps.
