The Greater Possessed are Chaos Space Marines who have made a pact with a daemon to possess them, in exchange for unholy power. That will certainly not backfire in any way. They are unnaturally large and daemonically mutated, their armour and backpacks fusing with their flesh and sprouting ectopic teeth, eyes and horns.
These were a fantastic pain to paint, with little details everywhere. It was difficult to parse what is bone, horn, teeth, flesh, etc. They look just right now they're done. They're big chaps, on 40mm bases.
The Master of Possession is a shamanistic sorcerer who helps facilitate these unholy bondings.
He's supposed to be floating but looks like he's skipping along. I thought about doing some green flames, but stuck with what I knew. I did try to make his leather coat look textured and interesting.
I got these a few years ago for Blackstone Fortress, and they languished in the 'too intimidating to paint' pile until now.

Obviously you have needlessly concerned yourself with ability to paint. Cracking good job.
ReplyDeleteI've already realised I missed the highlights on one set of claws...
DeleteLovely painting!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Phil!
DeleteOh, wow, I love them! They look intimidating and imposing. I have a couple of possesed too,but have never dared to paint them. Your work is encouraging!
ReplyDeleteI've got a few more of these... I'm going to try and do them one at a time; batch painting doesn't really work for them.
