(And a size comparison with one of my Sergeants)

 

 

I put in a bid on that eBay auction for the Pre-Release Ahriman/Sorcerer a week ago for a laugh, but I never thought it would end at my one bid.

 

I have to say the sculpt is beautiful, but while many of the mold lines are very well hidden, some of them arent, and there are a ton of mold lines on this model. Additionally there is very little room for customization beyond a backpack, right arm and head swap.

 

I don't mind though this will be a beautiful sorcerer, once painted. I'm still not convinced about the head, so I'm going to magnetize it to swap around with a Achaen, and bare head. I'll reserve judgement until I can paint it.

[Reyner]

Wow. Looks great! Now get some paint on!

[Legionary Pallas]

There are no words.

[GhostMalone]

Shut up and paint him now

[Dagoth Ur]

The madman actually did it....

[Soldier of Dorn]

Nice. Insane, as the Observer says, but nice! I think the sculpt definitely fits the specific aesthetic of your army, and I can't wait to see you paint him up!

[Lord_Ikka]

Can't wait to see your metallic red all over him!

[Kizzdougs]

Awesome, dude! I totally agree regarding the helmet. It's Probably the only thing I don't like about the mini.

Looking forward to seeing it painted up :tu:

[Brother Pheidias]

Congrats, that's wild! Looking forward to this!

[JJD]

He defiantly ended up in the right hands. Can't wait to see him painted.

[m0nolith]

If anyone deserved to get that model first, it would be you.

Cant wait to see him painted!

[Charlo]

Absolute baller.

 

So excited to see you render him in all his glory!

[Dindrenzi]

Let the painting commence  .

 

Should look excellent when painted to your standards!

[apologist]

Love to see what you do with him, Athawes – your Thousand Sons are a treat for the eyes, so he's a well-suited addition! :)

Which bare heads are in contention, out of interest? I think he'd look good with the bare head from the Emperor's Children set.

[MagicMan]

Beautiful. First time seeing this thread and I've gone through the whole thing.

 

Fantastic Sons, some of the best I've seen.

[undecideded]

Saw this on my newsfeed on Facebook regarding your purchase on a sponsored post by bell of lost souls. You're getting internet famous Athrawes I love it. Glad to see you've kept on modelling after all the adversity you've gone through. You're doing the Emperor's work my friend. Edited September 5, 2016 by undecideded

I have a spare of the emperors children sergeant head I can paint up to try, but my first choice is this :

The raven Guard sergeant head. 

 

I'm thinking it will look great with a black "Wadjet Eye" Tattoo under his left eye.

 

I finished magnetizing the neck so I can freely swap between a few options and choose the best.

[Lord_Ikka]

Paint it now Athrawes, the waiting is killing us! :D

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Another good head is from Grey Knights... The one with the cable on the side of the head. I like the one you posted too.

+++++

 

Well this was a blast, and I hope I did this miniature justice. now that I have painted him, I like this model more including the stock helmet.

 

Here is the base so you can see his defeated foe:

Let me know what you guys think. I should be able to work on the unhelmeted head in a few days.

[Supe robot gangster #1]

It's so pretty, I can't look away!

 

Fantastic job! Any shots on the way with a bare head? I love characters with bare heads! (Yes I'm one of those people

[Athrawes]

@Supe Robot Gangster #1: I should be able to post the bare head in a few days as I'm waiting on some paint.
