I really haven’t enjoyed painting this so far, not because the sculpt isn’t great (it is) but because the low quality of the cast has really damaged a lot of the details. I am going to continue paitnign him for the time being, but I won’t be surprised if the model doesn’t get finished, or gets rushed.
The lesson here is just because you may be able to get something cheap, it doesn’t mean you should.
Just recently I was given the opportunity to pick up a pretty poorly cast Kor Phaeron.
Now, I have my suspicions regarding this mini, but given I didn’t really have to do much to get it, I thought “might as well”.
As you can see, here is some of the repair work I have had to do.
My view on this is that I will eventually pick both Erebus and Kor Phaeron up, so this is a good test mini for pre heresy Word Bearers colours. I also love Kor Phaeron as a character, he’s a real bad guy, not someone being miss-lead or given a bad time which lead to bad choices, he is 100% pure villain. And I love it!
