Aarbal the Undefeated finally finished

Well, this figure has been sitting waiting for paint for far too long. How do I know? Well, I had written a blog post about unboxing this model back in 2015, which can be found HERE. One of my first blog posts, in fact. Funny how blogging makes you more accountable for all of your hobby transgressions!

Anyway, enough chatter and on to the model. For Aarbal, I wanted to steer away from colors that were too 'gaudy'. While these might strike fear into the heart of his foes, laughter would be more likely. I personally prefer my chaos warriors to be more brooding. While not terrible, I was really not a fan of the color scheme on the box art for Aarbal. Red horns? I think not. I still stuck with the quintessential khorne colors of bronze, red and green but tried to keep them quite dark. Probably won't 'pop' as much on the tabletop, but I thought them more fitting to the model. 

I'm not too happy with the photo quality, but it's something I'm (very gradually) learning. While I think the backdrop below is nice, in this case the colors are too similar to the colors on the model and thus they detract too much from the miniature. For this reason, I decided to purchase a blue fade background from Hangar18 miniatures that I will be using in subsequent projects. Enjoy the pictures, and if you have any useful resources for a novice miniature photographer, I would love to hear them.
