Feora the Foresaken Painted


Feora joins my Riot Quest crew!
She was initially intimidating to paint due to how much detail the mini has, but once I got into it I found her to be fun and interesting to paint. I've not painted Menoth stuff outside of a couple of wreck markers. This made deciding how to paint various aspects of her armour tricky.





I painted her eyes to look glowing orange (doesn't show up well on camera sadly) to match the fire style magic she uses.


Overall she was an enjoyable but tricky model to paint with tons of detail it did add to the overall painting time.


Using money from my generous supporters over at Patreon I purchased a rotating display stand. I like to put the money from supporters back into improving the content I make.
I'm hoping to get better at making these over time, one thing I know I want to save for is a better camera (I currently use my phone).
Please let me know what you think of this addition to my painted model articles.
If you like it please like, comment, and subscribe on Youtube it really does help with letting Youtube know it's a video worth suggesting to other hobbyists. (And it upsets Mike...)

Even if it's just $1 it really helps me out!

See you all next time!

Model Review: The Living Covenant


Today we take a look at The Living Covenant, a Specialist class hero in Riot Quest and a Protectorate of Menoth Solo in Warmachine. He comes in a single metal piece.



This is an impressive sculpt with the person projecting up out of the pages of the book through the fire. It will certainly be a challenge to paint the flames right next to other details, I might actually finally have to learn how to do object source lighting...



It's really hard to see in these pictures (I would love a camera upgrade one day...) but there are actually pages sculpted onto the upper view of the book. This is a really nice touch which will add a lot of realism when painting as a wash or dry brush will pick them out nicely.


There are more flames holding up the cover of the book, presumably, this is how it travels about via flames.




And here it is "fully assembled"... 





Here is the scale shot with Professor Pendrake. The living Covenant scales well and is a decently imposing figure. It had barely any clean up at all and obviously, assembly was simple...
Overall this is likely a must buy for Protectorate players, but it's also a nice easy Riot Quest model to add to your collection.

Model Review: Feora the Foresaken


Today we take a look at Feora the Foresaken, a Fighter class hero in Riot Quest and a Protectorate of Menoth Warcaster in Warmachine.
She comes in three metal parts.




There is a rather nasty mould line which runs across the top of both shoulder pads which crosses three different armour plates on each shoulder.
This is quite unfortunate and took quite a bit of work to file smooth without losing the distinct different armour plates.


The "dress" part is fantastically detailed with finely cast filigree which might be a pain to paint though! 



The smoke stacks are well cast and the connection points are very well done. I foresee no issues with this staying on



Her head with flowing hair is also nicely cast, with great detail in the face. It might be a little hard to paint the area between the hair and the smoke stacks once assembled but that is a bridge I will cross when I come to it.



And here she is fully assembled!



The "flamesaw" is the goofiest part of this mini, and to be honest its not even close to out of the norm for a Warmachine model really, I think she fits in nicely.




And here is the scale shot with Professor Pendrake.
She strikes me as a really nice looking mini, the anger she is giving off is clear in the pose and details like her face and clenched fist. 
If it wasn't for the mould line on the shoulder pads she would be a perfect mini so that's a shame, but it was fixable.
I've never painted a Menoth model as far as I can remember so she will be an interesting challenge (I have painted a Menoth themed Gremlin on 4Horseymans though)
