Asurmen, the Hand of Asuryan

[ZaPhOd]

Here is my first ever 40K mini! He placed 3rd in the 40K category at the Golden Goblins at GW Kingsway in Edmonton without having the freehand stuff and base. I am pretty happy overall!

WARNING! Big picture

Hey! After all the comments on the photo background thread, I have gone with the dark blue background!

You can drop a vote RIGHT HERE!!!

There is a full frontal shot as well...

I guess you went with Background #1. Looks very good. Did the vote thingy.... very unusual color combination... looks good though!

I\'m actually doing that fellow right now.......you have raised the bar.

Love the ivory color and the hand painted scrolling around the base. Well done Zaph!

 

[Hinton]

Excellent work. Nice colors and I really like the gems on this; it looks like there\'s plenty of them. Voted.

Thanks guys!

Electrolito - unusual color combos are my specialty

Shawn - I bet your guy will be glowing with light sources however He is a great figure to paint! Very detailed

personally, i don\'t like the way the red looks a bit pinkish but thats just me. the rest of it is beautiful. must\'ve been a pain to get it that smooth

 

[ZaPhOd]

Heh thanks. There are other shades of red than firey orange you know :twisted:

 

[OrkyDave]

as always, great stuff. Is he gonna be your next GT entry?

 

[ZaPhOd]

Could be, could be. :innocent:

 

[Jericho]

I think I know which guy I\'ll be entering... he\'s not the flashiest dresser in town but he comes packing a pair of mean looking hammers and the wrath of Sigmar

 

[ZaPhOd]

Hmmm... maybe this discussion should go HERE!!!

Excellent mini. Voted and commented :]

Great work on this one; very smooth colours and transitions. Quite impressive.

 

[Dragonsreach]

A very nice take on an underrated mini.

I have never been all that keen on this particular Pheonix Lord as I think he\'s not as complex, or as dynamic as he should be. However this is a very nice paintjob.

 

[ZaPhOd]

thanks Mike, and everyone else. Hopefully, I find time to do more 40K. I am increasingly fascinated with the genre.

Awesome work. Love the contrasting color scheme. Blending is very good. did the vote thing.
