Dark Angel's Primarch - The Lion Walks Among Us

Moments lost in time, like tears in rain,


So despite my somewhat first world melodrama review of the casting process used by Scibor miniatures here I was very happy with the actual products after I spent about 30 minutes cleaning off all the flash and smoothing down the edges that had come out of the casting process quite rough.

And here they are all assembled as my counts as  Primarch, the Lion himself Lion El'Johnson:






He is suitably massive on his 40mm plinth base and I like the overall aesthetic he has. Really looking forward to painting him! Getting the wings on was a massive pain in the arse though. As you can see in the above picture they have tubing in the middle which act as an anchor which allows the magnets above and below the tube to hold it on the torso nice and stable. Always a worry drilling holes in an expensive model though that will be a pain to fix if you get it wrong!

Thoughts always welcome :)

Peace out,

Rob

  1. Excuse my ignorance, but was the Lion ever depicted as having winged armor? Also, love the model, can't wait to see what you do with it.

    1. The model and the wings are both from Scibor miniatures, I just converted them to fit together because I thought it looked cool. Definitely check out there stuff but also check out my review of these pieces as they came out of the box. Beautiful, but lots of clean up!!
