Crypt Command

 

First part of the commish finished! 

Nice to paint some traitors again. Chaos models tend to have a lot more going for them in terms of detail and gnarliness compared to vanilla marines. Not that I don't enjoy painting those too, but it was a while since the last properly evil Crypt Angels. 

First up - the Master of Possession, who is a great sculpt. Glad to have a second go at him, I really enjoyed my Alpha Legion version. 

Next, another shouty man on fire. The Dark Apostle with his Disciples is another set of great sculpts, and a really good opportunity to practice flames. Or a massively daunting prospect, depending on how you view painting fire, I guess. I chose the former. 

There's no cloak back there, just more wiring. 

And finally, an absolute pig to paint - Mr Mechadendrites himself, the Warpsmith. This is a finecast resin model entirely composed of spindly tentacles. Even picking him up send spasms of tentative fear through me in case I broke something and had to superglue it on again. In the end, it only happened four times, and I feel like I got off lightly that no actual parts snapped in two, it was all across existing joints. At least he looks good!

On Tau the next batch!
