Forgeworld Kaela Mensha Khaine Completed

Finally this beautiful model is done and ready to be returned to Shawn's hands.  He's seen it several times during its production.  I'm looking forward to seeing his face when I hand it back tonight.

Trying out something new with line highlighting.  Worked out surprisingly well.

Not much left to do on this model.  Rune stones and base.  Will have this bad boy on Sat.  Missing one bit otherwise he'd be done tonight.

Slowly, bit by bit, the avatar is coming together.  Shawn wants him to look great so I'm making sure to take my time and give it appropriate attention.

Stripes in hair are Space Wolves Grey.  Not sure why they appear white.  Perhaps angle from lights.

(deja-vu) Never has been painting a loin cloth been so fun.  Here's the complete post this time.

This model is really coming together.  What I didn't like about this model has grown on me.  As LT said "You are your worst critic."

This guy is going to be a lot of fun to paint.  Plan on trying out a lot of new techniques on him.  Ayce00, wants him to look really good.  Wants me to take my time on him.  Not the standard "characters look good not great" like Avatar and Eldar.  Really wants him to pop.

Figured instead of posting large pics explaining small details would take pics of those details.  Legs and bracers based Leadbelcher.  Lightly brushed to not completely cover the base.  Wanted to preserve that patina metal body look.

Shawn handed me this bad boy several months ago.  Couldn't put anytime into it since I was working furiously on my Grey Knights.  Now that they are effectively done time to get back to the murder table.

Last where we left off with our solo warrior.

This is outside of my norm.  I usually paint characters last or first.  There's a priority of painting these models.  Have to let go of my outcome.

First you should know this is a copy.  Saw an excellently painted Avatar over a year ago and was in awe of it.  I want to paint one similarly.  Shawn wants his Avatar and Eldrad to be good.  Going to try something new with this model but not push myself to make it excellent.

Base-coated with Black.

With flash.  Trying something new.
