Aaah, Urien Rakarth.
I love how utterly removed and uncaring he is. Having become a truly supernatural being over the aeons and carrying this air of vampiric nobility despite having his face tied on.
I googled around for a bit to look at different paint jobs on this model and I saw one pic that really inspired me where he had been painted in a heavy black scheme where the black was accented pretty much with super pale skin and red detailing.
I wanted to riff off of this colour scheme whilst tieing him into the rest of my force, and maintaining a highly individual look. Not always easy to do, the green pipes and detailing are subtle in their positioning on the model, and I really like how the haemovores under his feet really clash with the greens of the pipes suspended over his head, a very pleasing model to paint and look at.
Urien will obviously form a stag party with the unit of Grotesques in a raider most of the time, at least until I get a few more painted, I don't really know what to do with him though, he doesn't scream out as being particularly incredible in game terms yet as far as being specialised towards a particular role.
But that hardly matters when your model is that cool does it?
