    Hooray! Finally Someone puts the model in a pose that doesnt look like its trying to fly by flapping its arms.

    Less is more, and you got it perfect.
    Looking forward to Epic Vlad on his Battle Cattle.

    This is fantastic -- I opened a bunch of tabs to look at and had to save this one for last so I could appreciate it fully. That base is just gorgeous and you certainly did the model justice.

    That's a very nice robot!

    Reminds me I need to finish mine - I haven't done any work on it since it was featured on the NQ blog.

    Very nice work, I like the blending as well. Thought struck me while I looked at this, where do the storm pods launch from?
    Cygnar w/ Mercs (14 Warcasters, 372 Points)
    Trollbloods and Minions (2 Warlocks, 45 Points)
    Retribution of Scyrah (1 Warcaster, 35pts)
    Legion of Everblight (1 Warlock, 15 Points)

    Fantastic! Really stunning. The only thing I'm missing is maybe a second non-metallic colour in addition to the red. I also wonder where the storm pods deploy from, really...

    Look on the top of the head plate, above the Cygnus. There's the tip of a lightning pod poking out, ready to fly.

    In the future, please think about the consequences of posting your work, so this doesn't happen again. Perhaps use less of whatever it is that you use to get your results?
    Thanks.

    There's also the same thing on each fist. If those things are in fact the Lightning Pods, then the Stormwall has pew pew fists.

    Love the paint job, the base and almost everything you have done here. My only criticism is that the gold looks a little...unfinished. To me (personal opinion here, if you love it, leave it alone), the gold could use a little shading. If you dont agree, thats cool, its an awesome looking model, regardless of my opinion.

    First of all, the Stormwall's fists have Electro Leap, so it makes sense for it to have Lightning Pods in its fists too.

    Secondly, the Stormwall can fire three lightning pods, so again, it makes sense for it to have more than one lightning-pod-shooter.

    A full walkthrough of the base construction is at the end of the article I linked above (the link's just below the pics).

    Thanks for the ego food everybody. Random people telling me I'm awesome is just about the only reason I ever do anything these days.
