“But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man."

Like Typhus, Mortarion allowed me the chance to stretch my weathering legs. The armour was painted in a pale bone and shaded with green and red. Because these two and complementary colours this produced a grey shadow where the two overlapped strongly. I mixed a little weathering powder into parts of the armour for an extra oomph to the visuals. 

I wanted Mortarion to have a physical effect on his environment; vitrifying the rocks beneath his feet. The Scythe was painted to remind the viewer of wood using deep reds and purple in the darkest shadow.

This model is from Forgeworld's range of Fantasy monsters and is a commission piece for Orclord (of Stuff of Legends Fame). Unlike the Forgeworld paint job, I wanted this creature to be more fantastical in nature. The stone set at the centre of the chest was painted as if it is the creatures source of anima, and its body is constituted of the natural elements of its environment.
