I'm really enjoying Lemartes' book, this was actually insanely cool and sexy of him

Back for blood.

Just finished painting this guy up. Didn't have much freedom with the base this time around with the Stirland Mud since he's technically standing on broken marble. But I did make it so it looks like he's descending onto the battle field and into the mud

Blood Angels, supplemental; as I've previously described at length, the trend of Primarisizing classic characters to be consistent with their depiction in art has been the single greatest achievement of the post-9th edition pivot away from moonboots and go-karts.

Astorath the Grim is very nearly 1:1 with his previous incarnation, a 2010 release originally intended for white metal casting. It thankfully dispenses with the trailing parchment to achieve the illusion of flight (a design feature which is currently doing numbers for the Stormcast Eternals range), replacing it with the fan-favorite tactical rock - but aside from some superficialities like the shape of the wings, it's simply a better execution of the original concept.

You may not like that concept, but it's always been like that. No sense complaining about the new sculpt, it's no more soulless than it was fourteen years ago.

Lemartes is a bit of a different beast, though. There is no connective tissue between the previous sculpt and this one - which isn't exactly unprecedented, as that miniature had very little to do with the original 1999 sculpt by Mike McVey.

It, uh, wasn't great either.
