Salamanders Chief Librarian Vel'cona

After reading the rules for Sevrin Loth, I knew I had to try this guy out.  This model was pretty awesome. The arms, backpack and pauldrons were all separate parts, so I was easily able to add the Salamanders pad.  Cleaning mold lines took me all of about 5 minutes - it was cleaner than most of the new GW plastics.  The only drawback is that he comes with an Honour Guard, which is essentially a command squad sprue with some Red Scorpion upgrades.  I didn't want that, so I sold that off to a fellow gamer who collects Red Scorpions.

I got a little crazy with the airbrush.  I wasn't initially going to have his casting hand glowing, but after I did the glow on the axe, it just felt right to match the hand.  It give the model a really nice pop on the front.  So now when Vel'cona gets shot out of his Stormraven, people will ooh and ahh when he chews through their lines!
