| I like this figure a lot. Dang I'm sick of painting skulls though.

| Awesome. I never notice any tiny details on the 'Eavy Metal models, but you really pull them out (skulls that make up Skulltaker's skull for example).

| Very nice, although I'm really not a fan of the actual model.

1. Thank you
2. Not really. a little under 5 hours
3. I'm not a patient person. The hobby teaches me paitence.
4. Of course I'm happy to paint. It is time to myself. Sure it's 3am to 6am when the kids are in bed but it is still time to myself.
5. bravo.... that is one of the biggest reasons I post pictures (and WIP). I want others to paint their figs and see it's not too tough and does not have to be too time consuming.

From the back the figure is clunky and overdone. A classic example of less is someties more. The cloak is ridiculous and the skulls on his horns are terrible. They serve no purpose except to illustrate (poorly) the fluff.
The figure would have been better without them.

| My feelings exactly, way too over baked... makes a nice center piece though.
