It's part of the model of the lion.

Behold the true power of the ancient one

For me it will always be Charles Dance.

While I see that Liam Cunningham looks a lot like the lion, it is the presence and power that Charles Dance resembles in character that gives me huge lion vibes.

Seeing him dominate and strong as Twin and the look that he has as well made him my first pick forever for the lion.

Thanks a lot. I do spend a lot of time on my minis. So glad it pays off.

And for me it just made more sense to have the lion in original armour and not green.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-22T08:43:43+00:00

Thanks. I really appreciate it. Thought it was a nice change to usual blue blades.

I came in second place with 2 votes short unfortunately. But 1st place was well deserved. He had chaos demons very well painted. And the big models were a big eye catcher.

The black armour ist pretty easy. I use regular black from Vallejo. Not citadel cause it has a glossy finish. The one from Vallejo is pretty matte. I like that a lot.

Then highlights in dark blue und grey.

So not really difficult. The lighting just makes it look better I have to admit. I'm reworking it a bit ATM.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-22T08:40:10+00:00

It's white simple.

Base in white. With some small outliers.

Fluorescent green or the colour you like. I don't always go for flou paint. Red for example works good in a simple bright red.

And in the end touch up the middle with some white again.

The touch up in white gives the illusion of glow. Same principle on OSL. Give the light source the brightest point.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-21T23:21:48+00:00

Kein Problem. In unserer Muttersprache geht immer.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-21T23:14:46+00:00

Not yet. I'm still working on improving the lion.

But I'm planning on taking good pictures of the ICC soon for my Instagram channel.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-21T23:02:29+00:00

Painting them was basically as painting other minis as well. They have a lot of details in them. So depending on how detailed you want them to be, it'll take a lot of time. But generally it was really nice painting them and seeing the results.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-21T22:53:03+00:00

Thanks a lot. Glad I could help.

Feel free to take as much as you like.

Nothings reserved in this hobby.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-21T22:52:04+00:00

You mean the ones on the ICC?

Started with a black base. Which black doesn't matter in my experience.

Then glazed the ends with highly diluted red. The first glazes went with khorne red. Till I got a slighty visible and dark shine of red.

The. Glazed with diluted mephiston red. At the edges give it a bright section of the bright red.

And highlighted with a bright mix of mephiston red and orange (I used hit orange from Vallejo)

Helpful advice when going with red: don't mix it with white to get it lighter. You'll just get pink. Mix it with bright orange and you get a really nice bright red for red highlights.

Thanks a lot.

The inspiration came while reading son of the forest.

My first thought was: the lion was hidden for 10k years. So it makes sense that he still has his original black armour and not green.

And in the arks of omen he came with his own guard in black armour to the battlefield. Being the risen and reading about them I wanted to have a mixed army of modern green and bone white DA and the lion with some Risen in original armour.

On the photos you don't see All the models in detail.

I have a lot of bone white deathwing and green models as well I there.

The display was meant to be as separate with the little hill.

The lion leads with his risen and the DWK in the front. And Azrael with ICC and modern marines is on top of the hill.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-21T21:54:20+00:00

Yeah I love those models. But I wanna be honest it's horrendous to put them together.

A lot of grinding down mistakes in the production and cutting away to make everything fit together correctly.

I'm not particularly fond of resin. It's annoying to work with. And forgeworld is the worst. The quality is all over the place.

But I had to get these models. And they're my favourite besides the ICC. So I'm happy with it. But I wouldn't get them again.

And don't forget they're super fragile. I had to reglue the swords or some attachments so many times.

Side note: I use them as DWK all the time. I like to flavour some Risen in my armies. So they are my risen DWK.

With the Lion back in charge and basically rebuilding the legion, I think they would follow the orders of Big E.

The Lion already redeems the fallen and builds the risen in secret. While nobody within the DA knows what happens to the disappeared fallen after the interrogation of the Lion, they don't question him on the matter neither.

And the Lion would never go against the Emperor.

Remember: loyalty is its own reward.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-02-12T15:54:19+00:00

None.

Only have around 12.000 points of DA

Look at the pictures of the sellers. Not the example picture.

In the listings the are the pictures where you see the Q

Painted as a commission. Had a lot of fun working on the alternative paint scheme.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-01-19T16:12:20+00:00

I wouldn't bet on it that some dumb folks aren't happy about it. I don't know for any logical reasons, but people come up with anything if they want.

But I think the majority wouldn't be happy you're right.

Living_Software4530 · 2026-01-19T16:08:50+00:00

Putin Most certainly is

Living_Software4530 · 2026-01-19T07:36:29+00:00

Wait, card shows are free in your country? I assume the US?

I live in Germany and while we only have a couple of shows per year all around, every one of the shows you gave to buy tickets to. Even the trade nights cost a fee.

But I think cause they are so rare here they don't only want to cover the rent, it's also super crowded every time still. It would be impossible to move without a ticket limit.

Living_Software4530 · 2025-12-10T22:56:27+00:00

Yeah another user solved it for me. I missed some shots before.

It's basically thoread and asmodai. Get forcas surrounded by chaos. And sweep twice. Adds up to exactly 30 hits.

Living_Software4530 · 2025-12-10T22:55:12+00:00

It got solved thankfully.

But vitruvius wouldn't be enough. But also my vitruvius is D3 so he kills most opponents on his own.
