I was able to fix up magnus really well, I'm very pleased with the repair job. And I managed to finish him tonight- behold!

more pics: Better view of the detail on the Horned Raimant, his armor: Blade of Ahn-Nunurta detail, and Book of Magnus at his side: Cape detail: Better view of the base detail: Better view of the warpflame: Also I just noticed that there are 2 space wolf shoulder pads on the model's base and mixed into the flames that encircle him, that I completely just didn't paint at all. Whoops! I'll have to bust out my greys tonight to tackle those and then he's actually complete, pinky swear.

How did you paint the flames/glow?

It was really super easy - for the glow of the runes, I just made a wash out of Screamer Pink + Lahmian Medium, and washed it into the recesses, then highlighted the edges of the runes with pink horror and then emperor's children.
For the flames, rather than paint them realistically (with the brightest part of the flames being the center, closest to the heat source) I painted them in reverse, so the highest points were the brightest, since its warpflame and doesn't use our physics. I painted the flames Screamer pink, washed them corroburgh crimson, then drybrushed pink horror, emperors children, 70:30 emperors children + white scar, then 50:50 emperor's children + white scar, focusing each drybrush closer and closer to the ends of the flames.

So that's where the smoke monster from Lost came from. Glad to finally get some answers.

I for one am eagerly looking forward to a side by side of Maggie's pre and post daemonhood ascension.

I will forever and always call him Maggie now, that is genius CJ! And don't worry, while I'm eager to build Archaon, I will be painting up Daemon Magnus next, so we should see a side by side over the next couple weeks!
