I finally finished this guy! What a fun miniature he was to work on as well. He fell into my basket at Element Games and I couldn’t be bothered to put him back on the shelf. I thought he looked pretty cool, though I had no idea who he was at the time. I wanted to try creating a lava effect on his wings and so tried a technique out that I wasn’t sure whether it would work or not:
I am not convinced this is the best I could do, but I think it looks alright for a first try. I got the idea from one of the Mephiston short stories – he creates lava wings to go fight a daemon or something like that – and want to recreate that scene in a diorama (more on that later). I did try and make some lava drops out of UHU Glue but they looked terrible so I didn’t bother with them.
For now though, I am pleased with this guy and learned a great deal while painting him too!
Great figures- I really like him. You’ve got the sense of an impending strike captured in the figure. Crying out for a companion figures of something about to get axe’d though.
Cheers,
Pete.

Axe-celently done Deb👍🏻. Never heard about the lava wings. I do like the look of this mini though.

I am sure that is from one of the David Annandale’s short stories – will have to reread them to remember which though. I am sure Mephiston plays ‘The Floor is Lava’ with a daemon as well.
