Before tackling the Lord of Afflictions and Pusgoyle Blightlord to finish up the Maggotkin of Nurgle spearhead, I though I'd finish up the first of the Helsmiths of Hashut. I did start assembling these pretty much the moment i got home with them... but then got painting the Maggotkin as there was a more immediate need for them (upcoming role-playing games this weekend!)... but also, I hadn't really nailed down a colour scheme..
Helsmiths of Hashut - War Despot
This is the General of the Spearhead force and I kind of painted him up on his own to test out colour-scheme ideas... and... I'm mostly happy with it... not super happy with how his Daemonflame Blade turned out... I tried a couple different ideas and now there's just too much paint on there and it doesn't look at all daemony... I may have to scrape some of that off and start over... OR I might just say fuck it, onwards! It's got paint on it and no one is ever going to look that closely at it!?
All the rest of the Helsmiths are only partly assembled... I might see if I can build the Automaton and Artillery piece with magnets so I can potentially use them as either option they can be built as... Or.. I might just build them as required for the versions required for use in the Spearhead force... and if I ever feel like I need the OTHER option... I could just buy another one... I'll need more of both if ever I want to build this up past just the Spearhead force...
Because I did promise some comparison pics...
(a few things to keep in mind, though... He is a Champion that's been infused with Daemonic energies and is bigger and chonkier than the line Hashutite infantry, he is standing on top of a pile of rubble and he is wearing a VERY TALL HAT!)
