From TeemuL: Akhelian Leviadon (53 points)

Here is again something from the mystical Mortal Realms of Age of Sigmar, Akhelian Leviadon. This creature swims in the air, there are strong spells, which allow it to do so. So it is not flying over the lava fields, it is swimming. And the crew is hunting victims, they are looking for souls.


The color scheme is a bit unusual I guess, but that is because I chose to paint it with the colors of Anvilgard. Yes, Anvilgard can't field these things, but technically ruleswise this is an ally. Much better story is that, that somehow the beast hunters of Anvilgard have managed to catch this beast (which happens to the same color as their city colors) and now use it in war.


Painted in Contrast paints, expect the base and metal parts. Works very well on this kind of textured surfaces.


The base is bit messy, the trim needs to be painted again to make it look better.


There were lots of details, which I didn't pick up, but I believe this is good enough now. I picked some details, some of the gems etc, so it is not too plain.

From Minion TeemuL:
Those Contrast colors really do wonders, when properly used. A very nice sub-marine creature on a lava field!

    1. She was a biggie, but fortunately I didn't glue everything before I started painting.

  8. The contrast paints seem to have been the perfect choice, the texture of the turtle and howdah really stand out.

    1. That's true Stuart, with traditional methods, it would have taken ages or end up being flat looking.

  9. Those are some really vibrant colours Teemu. Arthur says they remind him of Avatars (the Last Airbender, not the blue tree huggers ;-) "Fire Nation"!

    1. Black, red and yellow is quite a strong combination, no wonder it is used in many traffic signs. And many other places as well. :)
