So time to show off what I have been working on for the past few days while my internet has been down. This is the first of the Contemptors completed, I just need to add the name to the scroll work and I will have him more or less finished.
I am extremely happy with the look I have achieved, it is not perfect but overall I think I have managed to get a characterful model added to the army.
The base features my first use of cork on a base and I think the effect is pretty realistic.
I have left off the lightning effects for this model, I felt the ornate nature of the relic contemptor had enough that adding the lightning as well would have overloaded the model and detracted from the final effect. With a bit of touch up work I believe the end result will be a quality addition to the army and for the time being a really impressive visual focal point for the force - now I just have to hope that it will not suffer from the typical new painted model syndrome which my armies tend to suffer from, typically my brand new painted models tend to die in messy ways when they get on to the battlefield.
