Eidolon Emperor's Children Commnder Commission

Lord Commander Eidolon was the pre-eminent commander of the Emperor’s Children. An exemplar of the Legion, he embodied the perfection sought by the sons of Fulgrim. His arrogance and search for perfection led him to the ministrations of Chief Apothecary Fabius in his quest to ‘improve’ upon the designs of the Emperor of Mankind.

A skilled and aggressive warrior who specialised in striking down his foes with a single blow, Eidolon carried a master crafted thunder-hammer and archaeotech pistol in to battle, and made use of a jump pack to strike with speed and surprise. The surgeries he endured enhanced him with a sonic shrieker grafted into his larynx that produced a howl so destructive it could shatter bone and armour.

Unlike the previous Eidolon commissions I have done I wanted something more in tone with Forge World's way of painting. The purple isn't as saturated nor are the golds as bright. The armour hasn't had the same filter of magneta, and the shadows have been painted by adding increasing amounts of black in the the base purple.
