I re-did Baliels highlights as freehand instead of just dry-brushing. I like that method better as it gives me generally more control. I also redid his hood and his face to fix his eyes which bulged a bit. I also added the stubble as well as eyebrows which you can't see.
The watchers went as well as I could have hoped. It took quite a few layers of white to get the robes right but once I put on the wash everything pops beautifully. The banner probably took the most time though as it was a lot of small details intermeshed. You can barely tell in the picture but the banner is black in the middle and is edged with green. I may have to highlight part of it with the lighter green to make it show up better. The helmet wasn't really very hard as everything on it was stuff I had done before, just some highlighting and eye gemming. The last thing to decide for the Watchers is if I want to add any grass to either of their bases.
All in all I think the Master and his Wound counters look really good and is some of my best work. I did all of it while listening to 40k Radio, a Warhammer podcast I found yesterday. They were discussing the new Tyranids Codex for a large part of the cast and I have to say that it sounds really cool. I am all of a sudden glad that my Deathwing army is all Fearless though as it means I can avoid a lot of their more annoying abilities.
Last night a started thinking about the Ravenwing and looked into them. Sammael is incredibly powerful and might be a better HQ than Baliel. I might have to start thinking about adding him into my army, perhaps for Apocalypse games or making an entirely new army.
