I just used this video to get my Lord Solar Leontas painted in day and on the battlefield within a week of buying him. However, he was obviously surprised at such a fast deployment, rolling four ones for his first two turns of shooting (before dying to an Imperial Knight Warden's fist). It's great to have these videos as a resource for when they're needed. Many thanks!
That extra little bit of narrative you added to the base really makes a difference. I love when a special character is given a bit of local flavour. It's always nicer when you have that tie in instead of some bedroom poster come to life.
What a gorgeous model. GW has done a great job sculpting it. Your paint job and your custom base design look great!! Thank you for sharing this video with us. Keep up the great work you do for your channel, and viewers.
Love how you've made it fit with the rest of your army. I can't wait to see him in a battle report to see if he is as deadly as Creed was in the last one. I'm currently sitting waiting on the postman dropping a new model through the letterbox so this video helped distract me from pacing up and down the hall 😂
Custom base is awesome but i think that kreigsman doesnt need anyone to scream at them or be motivated, they would go and die without it. So its better that it was regular guardsman just for accuracy!
Great idea on making him fit more with the colour scheme of the rest of the army. He looks like he leads a charge like Maximus at the start of Gladiator rather than just coming in at the end for the propaganda photo like you said
Epic and masterfully executed. This is the scheme I was envisioning and there is a surprisingly small amount of pictures / videos doing it up this way. It's classic Cadian, yet very different from the box art. This video helped confirm that I wanted to take my model in this direction. Matching the rest of my green Guard army. Also, that basing is incredible and making me reconsider using the stock base. May need to donate a couple of guardsmen from either my Bits Box or even my other Cadia Stands squad sprue to do a simliar thing with the diorama effect. 10/10 video, easy sub. Will do from my other channel as well, Mo Magnets.
Wonder if the release of Lord Solar Leontus is a tester to see if people want various Lord Commander characters of if this is more of a template, hence the lackluster official version, for people to turn him into any Lord Commander that fits their army better with some slight modification, like a Lord Commander Tempestus or some such.
Trop 👍 !. Je fais actuellement l’ascendant d’Horus !. Je suis entrain de le peindre selon tes schémas de couleurs !. Ps: j’ai eu du mal à coller les griffes !. Elles sont un peu fragiles !.
I think the design of the mini itself is.... well, aggressively terrible is probably the most kind way I could put it. However, your paint job and the basing with the trenchers does elevate it AT LEAST to halfway decent looking. Now if the model were just not a piece of ported over AoS garbage... I would actually call it great looking.
