I was prepping some of the Epic 30k forces
I painted up a while back, figuring out how to play a simple game with them, and came across a tiny metal space marine among the extra, leftover stuff. The rest of the space marines were all plastic, so he stood out a bit:
 |
| He's not heavy, he's my brother. |
As I looked him over, I realized the metal guy was a much more detailed sculpt than the plastic lot. I felt he needed to be honored, and so I painted him up as a one-off Blood Angel, giving him way more attention than the rest of the troops got. Here's the results, as best as I could capture in photos, given the tiny size of the dude:
 |
| No ideal how I managed to get the eyes to look halfway decent, but somehow they look like two eyes instead of one glob. |
 |
| The pauldron has about as simple a Blood Angels logo as one could have. |
 |
| I love the old style backpack. |
 |
| I applied about four layers of red to orange highlights. Not sure you can tell, or not, but it's there. Trust me! |
 |
| It still amazes me just how small this thing is! I can't imagine how the heck they sculpted this. |
Its really a shame GW killed the Epic line, as there's lots of fun to be had at such a small scale. Thanks for stopping by!
