Finished! Magore's Fiends, In Black

Painted a month ago alongside the traditionally colored scheme. Hard to say which version I like more. But I'll leave that up to the suits in Washington. Here be minis!

Finished! Magore's Fiends

Skulls for the skull throne! Painted for my local buddy and owner of Flying Phoenix Games, Big Kevin. This set is done in the standard Khorne scheme and I'll be unveiling an alternate scheme in the future. Everybody wants the fiends! 

Finished! Khorne Bloodreaver

Just a simple mini/man. This guy was the product of the private coaching I highlighted a couple posts back. I finally got around to taking proper photos of how he came out. I'm particularly proud of the skintone, I was able to pull a lot of subtleties into the highlighting by limiting the brightness and increasing saturation. Enjoy!

What have I been listening to? Swallowed

Finished! Archaon, the Everchosen

At long last, it's finally done and photographed. The Michael Jordan of Chaos, Archaon the Everchosen!

What a beast of a project. In the end, I went over the time I expected it to take but no big deal, it was what was needed. Stay tuned, something numerous and blue is up next! Hint: not space marines.

WIP: Archaon, the Everchosen Part 2

Above is Archaon after a few hours under the airbrush. Below you will find how he became that way. Enjoy!

One by one the heads were toned out and bagged up.

Then I had to commit to a color for the body. It had to be something neutral but I also wanted to break away from the scheme pictured on the box. I wound up with what I call "Godzilla green". Archaon got some attention as well.

At this point he's ready for some close up attention, more to come on that next time :)

WIP: Archaon, The Everchosen

That's right! One big ass dragon, three heads, and a buff dude with demon powers, covered in armor. The stuff legends are made of. But every legend needs a place to stand in the world so I'll start with the base.

I wanted to capture something cataclysmic, possibly biblical. The story of Samson comes to mind, towards the end of it
 Something that would convey the power and size of Archaon descending to the temple of Sigmar. After seeing these pillars (pictured below) in the Secret Weapon booth at Adepticon, I decided I needed some for this piece. At first I placed on pillar in the front. The idea was to create a toppling effect but I decided it would block the view a little too much and moved it to the rear.

Here it is after some trial placements and debris organization.

"Your temples will sink and fall into the earth" is probably what Arcahon would say so I created a section of slate rocks to house an emerging stream of lava.

Then it was time for some smaller details. A few bones and some weapons discarded by the fear stricken mortals.

Today Archaon has been primed and will receive some airbrushing.

More to come so stay tuned!
