Introducing one of the Fornaxi, Tritius.
A standard Helbrute. I may add a couple of inserts to convert the multi-melta in his right hand into a las-cannon or an autocannon, gut that will come (much) later.

So, now that I’m done I have to admit… I’m not sure if I like it. It’s hard to say exactly what’s causing me to not feel the love. Maybe it’s the detailing – there are places that look like more could be done.
It’s not my best work, model-wise. I didn’t clean the model that well – mould lines are everywhere. The skin-coloured base coat kept rubbing off the primer. I really need to seal the model before I game with it. Also, enough paint from the basecoat got into the gaps of the model that final assembly was difficult. I’m sure you can see the gaps. I definitely can. If I ever do another Helbrute, I think I’ll definitely be doing it differently as far as the base coat is concerned.
I do like the basing. That Texture paint from GW is awesome, and the wash and drybrush came out much better than I expected.
Well, it was definitely a learning experience. Plus, it’s put me ahead for my April project.
