Painting Log - Stretching my legs

Azrael has an idea for the next model I should paint...

 

Just finishing up the reaver titan builds and I'll get back to DA. I ordered 2x deathwing assault boxes, an old deathwing squad (I never made a command squad), the new Azrael and a separate Lion so I don't have to open the limited box. I've never painted the old hq minis so I really want to finally finish them after 20 years.

Your Doggo even has the same raised eyebrows as classic Azrael.

 

Yes, and he judges. Judges so much...

you named your dog after a 40k character? epic.

Yup, thought about getting a German Shepherd and naming him Belial.

So, I was taking stock of the hq models I had queued to paint. I realized I had stacked up quite a few.

But the lion has awoken, so I thought it would be a great time to crack open the vault and see what was inside.

It appears I've been sitting on a squad of Azraels and a duplex of Ezekiels. And apparently not one but three cyphers have been under their noses!

 

I also came across a model from the very first squad I painted.

There were even a few models that appear to have gotten lost on the rock. I thought I'd be kind and let them out.

There is more in the vault, but can't let all the secrets out so fast.

The HQ models are removed from packaging and cleaned of (hopefully) all mold remover. I also have some progress on the flying stands for LI. This is just a prototype and I'm going to hopefully find some shorter antenna and I'll use a heavier acrylic base. But the concept appears to be sound.

It uses the same tension ball system as the standard base, so I can make them bank as well

The antenna are a bit flimsy when fully extended, so I really need to find a much shorter version that will work. But overall, I like the concept. I'll see about making a few more and put them on a table.
