At first, I didn't really like painting the Malagor model. The sheer amount of bling on this guy is ridiculous, and he took about three times the amount of time just to base coat as a regular model does. Even when I finished with the base coat, I wasn't thrilled, because he has a lot of purple cloth going on in the middle. After washing and highlighting, I decided to add the green stitching to the cloth, and I think it broke up the colors and made the model look a lot better. .
Gamewise, the Malagor model will generally take the role of my second caster, since I use my Skeletor model as a Level 4 Great Bray Shaman. For instance, last night I played against Bart's Daemons of Chaos, and used the Malagor model as my Level 2 Lore of Beasts Shaman. He's a nicer model than the regular Bray Shamans, and stands out a bit.
Great work. I don't own the miniature, so am I right seeing that the skeleton on Malagor's stick has a hat on?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a helmet. Good times.
