First of the Asurya

Asurmen is finished, he of the massive mohawk. I decided on using the turquoise on the pheonix armor, highlighted in a similar fashion to gems.
The rest of him, with the exception of the wraithbone, was kept black to match with the Dire Avengers of my craftworld. I am most happy with the way the blade turned out, I was going for a glassy effect, I think it turned out well.
And now my Dire Avengers just got nastier!

Outstanding, well done, I really like that bone. The free hand is well executed as well, nice work!

I will be doing some temple bases for some veterans and if you don't mind sharing that recipie - I would appreciate it for the stone work!

stunning work. I really like the blade, its come out really nicely. My only criticism (and its very minor) would be that I think the face could do with something a bit more. I'm not sure exactly what, perhaps some subtly glowing eyes, but compared to the rest of the model it just seems a bit basic.

I lover the patterning on the robs too. Well done indeed

Not only is a great paintwork, but is a guideline to paint my Asurmen (you painted it in almost the colours of my craftworld).

Tallarn - the recipe for my wraithbone is; vomit brown, bleached bone, ogryn flesh wash, bleached bone and sometimes skull white.

Smurf - hmmmm...glow....might try that, thanks! (his face was bugging me too).

Grajo - you have some great eldar, I can't wait to see your asurya!
