Nagash: The Undying King

Hey guys! Super busy few weeks but managed to get some painting done (at long last!!) and I have painted up Nagash for a friend. Really is an awesome model and as someone who is a product designer, let me just express the obvious, this model is an utter feat of CAD (Computer Aided Design). Utterly incredible and I wouldn’t even know where to start in producing something like this. On an aside I believe GW must be using bleeding edge rapid prototyping in cobalt to make their tools. They really are world leaders in plastic moulding, let alone model design!

Anyway the model  was a bit of challenge to paint and had to be base coated and washed in several parts, layered in intermediate sub-assemblies and then highlight finished in one piece. It did take a monstrous amount of time (Easily 20+ hours). Did really enjoy painting him though and it is easily one of my favourite models. In retrospect I think it is not my best paint job, the purple armour could be improved. If I was to do it again I would also do the armour the same ethereal colour as the cape/ghosts. (Please note the model is un-based so Andy can match his army when he starts it :) )

Anyway guys let me know what you think!
