Mephiston WiP - getting there!

Bit of a major push on Mephiston last night. Almost all of the main colour detail has been done, then gloss varnished and some oil washes and shading applied. Not happy with the detail on the face so that will be touched up as well as the blue shading on the winged areas needs neatening up. Should be done in the next couple of days.

Excuse the shinyness of the pics, the gloss varnish used to protect the acrylic layers from the oil wash does not make a good photographic subject. Ultimately once it is finished it will get a coat of satin varnish to bring everything back down.

  1. The eyes look good, very nice brush control. Maybe its the miniature mold, but the shoulder skull looks orky in shape. The sword is looking very frosty and colorful and I like how it looks. The glove is shinny so its proof Mephiston is totally digging him some BDSM dungeon fun.

  2. Haha! The honest truth is I am not a fan of this mini. I think the face is pretty poor and the pose very static. Was disappointed he didn't get a resculpt with the Blood Angels 5th Edition codex release. But he is a beast on the table so has to be taken!
