Chief Librarian Mephiston (Primaris) - Part VI

Chief Librarian Mephiston, the Lord of Death.

And so do I consider another model finished.

There's no doubt about it, the finished model is amazing and a great improvement upon the older version. There's also no doubt that it was one of the most frustrating assembly experiences I've ever had.

With the Purity Seal applied and some of the last details completed (Bloodstones, some 'Ardcoat), I decided that I would not add any further details to the black cape. The highlighting of it already naturally gives it something to prevent a bland appearance, and lack of additional details makes it fit better with the red cloak. Additionally, I don't feel that it unduly draws attention from the rest of the model - giving something more on the cape might do that. Freehand practice will have to wait for another model.

Considering so much of the colour scheme was based on the previous model of Mephiston, I thought it appropriate to compare the two side by side. It also helps put the scale of each into perspective.

Seeing double.

In short, an excellent model, the fundamental design of which has stood the test of time remarkably well. I am eager to see what comes next for the Blood Angels (hopefully refreshed Sanguinary Guard).
