Rather late WIP. Need to do some cleanup and finish the base.
Comment, criticisms, ideas and so on are appreciated always L)

Very well painted and blended, not to mention unique. Very tzeentchy (or however you say it) feeling. I love the freakish head!

Awesome! The new spawn, i love the model and you done a superb job blending the colours. I love the chaos symbol you added as well.

Very, very nice! I have one of these models coming on Friday (I hope, it's a long weekend for me) and you've gotten me inspired and excited.

I really like the theme - well blended and the freehand is brilliant!

A word of advise then. Don't make my mistake. Do not try to paint it after you fully build it - way too many obscured areas that you can see but cannot reach. I had to disassemble it and paint body+head and arms separately.

And now you're my hero. Thanks for the warning - I probably would have put it together first as well.

Looks great, but the exposed gaps really detracts from the model, IMHO. Smoothing the joins would help a lot.

I agree with this but you almost have to choose your poison with this model. It has several rather deep gaps. Some I actually filled and you don't see them anymore - one is behind this long vertical spike on his back and it goes from one shoulder to another across the back and another is above his bellybutton (not seen very well).

Smoothing joints would be possible but I would have to preposition all extremities and with all these arms, legs and horns sticking in all directions painting became almost impossible or at least very inconvenient.

With so many fiddley bits in such a small space I can really see how painting and gap filling would have to compete for priorities. I *suppose* you could paint most of an arm, then attach and fill, and then finish painting... but oh the pain!

It's a good thing this model looks like a lot of fun, and has so many modeling options, because it also seems like a real hassle.
