So last night I finished the second wing for my Helldrake. So I sat there, as you do, playing with the miniature as a whole, and seeing how things will sit together once finished. I realised at that point, that this bugger is much bigger than I realised. I have honestly no idea how I am going to store this thing for travelling. Even when it isn't sat on it's flying base it's still a damn big bugger. I think I am going to need a damn big box. As an aside I started working on the claws. They look like cool little chaos drones or something!

I'll have to take a pic of how I've packed mine. Basically a whole layer in a KR box.

Oh you guys! So silly!!111 Another quick update on Helldrake progress. Last night I got the feet done. The fleshy coloured pipe on the back of the claw will eventually be touched up with some blood effects. Much like my Hellbrute was. It should also give you the sense of the colours I will be using for the rest of the piped/fleshy areas on the model. It means I can retain a general overall theme for the army on the table top, and I personally think stretched out flesh on a daemon engine is cool!

It still amazes me how well you paint the red on your models. Can't wait to see this finished!!!

I have to admit I don't really think I am doing anything too special when I do the red. I might make a guide to it when I do the torso of the Helldrake. It's honestly the easiest thing I do on any of my Word Bearers! Another update on my Heldrake. I managed to get the neck pretty much done (still needs blood added to it) and started on the head. The reasoning behind using the flesh tone I have picked is because I am heavily inspired by the Akira mutations, as seen in the film "Akira"! If you haven't watched the movie (for shame) this is what I mean. I did attempt to paint the pipes varying colours to show different levels of pressure on the skin, but it ended up looking a little weird. Anyway, I am hoping to finish the head tonight, then it will just be a case of painting the torso and then it's done!

Heldrake's head has now been given a lick of paint. I will be touching this up as the last thing to be done. The metal work needs more depth and the eyes need a little more detail added to them. But I am so far happy with it. I decided last night that I wanted to get the body started before I finished the head so that I could just sit and focus on it without wondering how the body would fit into the rest of the paint scheme!

Cheers fellas! Managed to make something of a start on the Heldrake's body. Still early days and the spine needs more work, but the skin took me ages. All the areas with mixed flesh and piping was particularly time consuming, but at least now it is done! This basically leaves me with the red and silver areas to do and the model should be finished. Whilst this part is annoying, it isn't as time consuming as the flesh parts!
