I just finished these guys a few hours ago! I sort of like these a bit more than the usual plastic devastators. Maybe it was just neat to see something different for a change, but I think they might be easier to work with on the table, and to pack/unpack for games.
This guy is not quite as big as the Ilyad Giant I posetd a few weeks ago, but it is pretty close! To keep the red from getting to boring, I tried to use a variety of reds on it, shifting the color temperatures from a bit of orange to pinks and purples.
I guess it could make an interesting 40k demon prince!
The precision of the detail on these old Ilyad miniatures never ceases to amaze me. They are always a dream to paint, since you don't have to try and paint over flaws or miscasts, etc. I wish everything had that kind of attention to the smallest bit of a mini!
OK, here is the second Asurmen figure. What a difference an alternate color scheme can make. I realize that this is stating the obvious, but sometimes seeing it in this manner can make you more interested in pushing the boundaries of color when considering a scheme for an army.
No doubt, this will be the theme for my someday Eldar army! :-)
