The Sword of Echoes

This is another of the fan-favourites of the Pantheon of Chaos, the Sword of Echoes.
It represents something similar to a daemon-sword that reanimates bodies and controls them. In this case it is a human skeleton filled with huge worms, nice!
The colour scheme I went with is pretty simple, greys for the metal parts, red for the cape and pink for the worms.
As I am quite happy with the way the worms turned out, I will mention here the recipe for future reference:
  1. squid pink from Vallejo
  2. Sepia Wash thinned with medium thinner over the whole worm
  3. highlight with squid pink and extra highlight with squid pink + bone
  4. glaze with druchii violet thinned with medium thinner to give some parts a purple look
  5. for an extra touch of grime I coated the worms with gloss varnish.
This miniature is huge, you will see in the mandatory family photo at the end of the project that it is easily one head taller than Festemus or any other Chaos Champion, that is why I put him in a 40mm base instead of the 32mm ones.

Painted in 2018
