Returning with Holy Wrath

[Caralinus]

Well the paint job is as crisp as ever, the beige looks particularly well shaded, very clean and smooth. Not that I can fault the purple, again, very smooth.

I like that the cherubs look slightly demonic, and the red tings to the scroll makes it look like raw skin, very Blanchian.

You know, I've never seen those Cherubs from the 28mm range used at 54 for some reason, but I always knew they would work... Must get some soon. Over all, sweet

[Flinty]

Well worth waiting for I think, and a the colour choice for the quartered tabard works very well. I've never seen the 28mm Cherubs with a 54mm figure before - I'm suprised how well they fit; for some reason when I've seen them before I thought they would look far too small - I do like thier unhealthy palour.

[Adlan]

Looks Fantastic. I really like the quartered colour scheme.

[Ynek]

It's taken just over a year, but you've certainly done a wonderful job on the painting. Truly a masterpiece.

[Swarbie]

I am somehow unsurprised at the fact that my first impression of the cherubs is that they look like little winged zombies. Now I'm gonna have nightmares about flying zombies.

They're that freaky.

The crusader himself is a real piece of art. To me, he just radiates a 'medieval knight' feel, and something in his stance challenges me with a sensation of a "more-gothic-than-thou" attitude. I love it. Really.

Well worth the wait, methinks . . .

[Saussure]

Many thanks for the kind comments, guys. I'm glad everyone likes the cherubs - they're lovely models and, unlike the Crusader, I knew what I wanted to do with them from the off. I think I got a little bit impatient with certain aspects of them - some of the skin tones could have a little more depth - but I really like them overall.

Very nice!

And inspiring.  I must get myself back on the 54mm horse, as soon as I have time!

Cracking work Saussure, it's nice to see more characters with preposterous back-banners! Excellent brushwork as always, it goes without saying. My one criticism though is that he's not sporting large and/or asymmetrical shoulder pads!  I will definitely be borrowing the Cherubim idea though, I think my own Inquisitor needs a retinue of dead babies to suitably capture that freaky feel.

Keep up the good work!

[Easy E]

Love the banners.  The perfect accessory. 

Plus, you will never lose him on the tabletop.

Plus, you will never lose him on the tabletop. 

You're not wrong! 

He's already a tall and thin model, and then he's standing on a little mound on the scenic base, and then you've got the banners adding another 66% or so to the height of the piece. He's a veritable giant!
