I had this model about 90% complete for almost a year now, and finally came across her again and decided to finish her up.  There are some really interesting sculpts comings out of Privateer Press' Warmachine game; this is Kommander Sorscha, Warcaster of Khador.

Since the frost-covered background of Khador is heavily laden with the feel of Tsarist Russia, I wanted to go for a Russian-esque military feel of dark greens with red emblems, rather than bright red of the "official" color scheme.  The armor was painted with VMC 096 Russian Green, 093 Brown Violet, 094 Russian Uniform, 101 Green-Grey, 111 Medium Grey, and 076 Green Sky, glazed with a mix of brown and dark green ink.  The cloak was painted similarly, but had VMC 150 S.S. Camo Black Brown added to the Russian Green for deeper shading, and did not go all the way up to Green Sky, but received the same glaze.

Some of the details of the sculpt are very rough... The face does not have much detail, the flimsy hammer kept breaking and was eventually replaced with a brass rod, the hammer head details were rough (such as rivets placed right along the edge of the hammer face, rather than centered, and spikes that look as dangerous as lima beans), the Khador emblem on the cap looks unfinished... And so on.  However, there is really brilliant sculpting going on at times as well;  the armor is fabulous, as well as its steam-engine power plant in the back, the left hand pose is gorgeous and unique, the boots are stylishly cool.  If Privateer Press gets some consistency in their sculpting (yes, including items on a single model, as well as across their range), they will be a force to be reckoned with.

Soon it just might be time to tackle one of the Khador Warjacks in the same style...
