I have a question, how do you assemble his base fully amd still allow for the smaller base to be removed? No ones answered on my thread about it so i'll ask you.

@Queen Annes Revenge. They just slide out.

one thing they forgot to mention in the fluff is that Vulkan suffered from serve case of Cyanosis...ugh of all the Primarchs you had to mess up it had to be my Legion......every other picture is amazing beyond words.....but last time i checked Vulkan was a Space Marine..not a Tau

Painfully awesome. Vulcan's skin tone and Lorgar's underlighting? Blown away. Hurts my heart.
And while I'm potentially in the minority, I love the Lorgar sculpt. Human and worn down. Actually really love the whole character set for the Word Bearers.

Vulkan and the Salamanders have black skin. With highlighting, in the bright light, surprise surpise, looks gray. Last time I checked, this guy was a commission painter, not painting for your personal amusement, so why don't you pack in the 'He messed up MYYYYY legion " crap. Good lord.

That's how all the Horus Heresy miniatures are designed. They are both play pieces, that come with an expanded diorama base for displaying. You can fully build them while still having access to the smaller gaming miniature.

Anyway:

I am blown away by everything in this thread. I wish I could just sit down with you and pick your brain or even just watch you work to see how you do it. I aspire to your level of painting, LL.

Thanks guys!

@ srsface- fire away with questions! I'd love more interaction withy the community. I have pictures detailing the step by step of a few pieces now but finding the time to lay it out and write it up is proving to be a challenge. If you have any questions though I'm happy to help.

@sweaterkittens - yup, you nailed it. My fear was by simply painting the face black against such a vibrant green armour that it wouldn't stand out and that the viewer would struggle to really see the face. Different lighting, sweating etc can cause all different kind of effects. I'm glad you can appreciate this, really makes painting worth while.

@deadaris couldn't agree more. I have thought of swapping lorgar a head for horus' for an experiment.

Today we throw some light onto the Mhara Gal, the unholy union of rampant biological growth and Dark Age Technology.
Enjoy!

I like the saliva strings on the claw, really makes it look organic. How did you do those?
