You know how sometimes you see a model and you feel like you have to paint it RIGHT NOW or else you'll not be able to sleep?

This was one of those models.

Picked it up today from local GW and had it built less than an hour later and just finished painting it.



He's a great model which I can see spawning almost as many conversions as the Nurgle Chaos Lord does. I'm quite chuffed with the cloak.

Really like the new models.

Super paint job.

You have the honor of being the 1'st paintjob I've seen on this model.

Great mode, and great paintjob mate ! I'm gonna zip off and check out the whole release ...

Chaos Rules

I like the base too, looks very slushy and cold. He could use some Gore Tex liners.

for a mini you painted in less then an hour he looks pretty amazing!!

Amazing! The base is nicely done too, really suits the model.

Good job. I think the work you have done on the cloak is really good. The addition of the snow and how you have done it is really good too, it makes him very real and gritty looking.

I really love it, but i think maybe some purple highlights on the blade would be even better imo. I guess youre going for the obsidion look though so thats cool. Cloak looks really good, especially with the snow.

The shading round the eyes makes it look less like Al Murray, which is a good thing (probably).

Good job!

This is a beautiful model!

I should clarify that I had him built less than an hour after buying him but it took me about 6 hours to paint him. I posted just after the last coat of varnish had dried hence "just finished painting him".

It's such a nice model I'm trying to find reasons to get another to turn into a BSB but convert him just enough to make it not the same model.

I had this mini in my hand at the GW store on Sat....but then I put it back....now I`m wondering why...great work on it!

It might have had something to do with the unjustified price tag. Which is one of the reasons I was going to leave this at store shelf, until I fell into "you're only 7 euros short of tiered discount" trap. Again.

Nice paintjob. I'd prefer slightly stronger shading on the gold parts, but other than that, very nice job.

Is the scaled look of the blade an actual part of the sculpt, or is that just a really expert paint job?

That's actually part of the sculpt. I was going to try and paint it as if it had warp fire burning within but really couldn't pull it off convincingly so went for an Obsidian effect.

This looks fantastic, well done!

I'm still struggling with painting gold at the moment. My goal with my Warriors of Chaos is to use them to practice my metallics and snow basing. I can pull off super polished steel quite well and rusted iron but polished Gold is something I'm very aware that I need to improve.

Yes. 4 days ago. And i'm still waiting for it to be delivered.

You have a fantastically painted Chaos Lord there. I hope mine comes out a fraction as good as yours.

Dont worry about your gold, i think it looks great... and you cloak? wow, it looks great with the shiny silver and dulled gold

I like the horns mate

That looks awesome! Great atmosphere.

Looks good, how long did you spend on it?

About 6 hours in one sitting.

Damn, man. One sitting? Do you paint in a La-Z-boy?

Well done i have to say.

Quick question: is the head part of the sculpt or is it a seperate piece?

Love the colour scheme! That model is definately becoming my BSB looks so easy to lop the halberd head off pin it and stick a nice big banner on.

The head is completely separate and there is a nice big space so you can put pretty much whatever you want in there.
