ORTHROS THE DEFENDER
Orthros the Defender is a Stormcast Sequitor. I got rid of the giant pauldrons and weapon, as well as the helmet halo. This mini was a commission, so he's not staying with me for long. He is likely to eventually get a twin who will remain in my possession.

THE MONK
The monk is a mini from the Reaper Bones Black range. First time working with bones black, and it's an improvement over the original bones plastic. Less bendy, for sure. The mould lines are still a bitch to remove, since the material is still not great for filing or scraping.
It's a really cool model straight out of the blister. I only slightly altered the cross he's wearing to make him better fit into the AoS setting. Not sure yet what his role will be in the games (NPC or playable character), but he is a Sigmarite monk. Painted him to match my Mordheim MMXIX flagellants, which will also be modified and incorporated into my AoS28 collection eventually.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteA nice job on the monk.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteThe sequitors look way better after your treatment.
ReplyDeleteGreat find this monk, the style of the model fits in perfectly with the rest of your models.
Thanks!
DeleteNice work with the Sequitor. Removing the pauldrons is a nice touch. It looks like that is how Stormcast should always look, and takes away a little of the wonky High Fantasy of the original design. The weapon change is much appreciated, too. I am not a fan of the stormsmite mauls (I had to go on GW's website to find the name).
ReplyDeleteThe Reaper Bones monk fits very well into your group of models. I was at a local hobby shop that just got in a shipment of the Reaper Bones Black models and made sure to look for the monk. The quality does look better than the original Bones line, but they still have managed to keep the price point down. Good for them, and also for hobbyists everywhere!
Thanks Greg!
