Dain Deepaxe, Silver Anniversary Edition

[wdmartin]

I got my brother a set of Reaper's core paints for Christmas -- he's just getting into painting.  Since I ordered them in November, I wound up with FOUR of the silver anniversary Dain Deepaxe, and offered to help him break in his paints by painting this one up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one came damaged -- missing half of one horn and with a crack down the center of the mini.  You can see it on his right shoulder.  I decided to paint this one because the damage made it more interesting: clearly, he's been in desperate combat against some dread beast whose terrible claws clove straight through his horn and cracked his armor before he finally laid it low.

 

I've also decided not to ask for a replacement.  Even after giving one to my brother, I've got two unpainted ones left.  That'll be plenty, thanks.

 

His left arm is also different from stock -- I messed up the pin placement and it just would not fit normally, so I had to use green stuff to give him a bit more bicep than he'd usually have on that side.    Let that be a lesson, people: get your pins centered!

Very cool!

Good paintjob and I think the damage works in your advantage in this case!

He looks great, love that beard!

Nice!  The beard looks great!

Thanks!  The beard is my favorite part, too.
