It had been fifty, maybe sixty years since N'rygh translated in system. The target planet was a mess, temporal instability, mutations, technology failures. First the armor failed, no matter scavenge more. The cannon failed, grab these axes, move on. The mind failed... well that's something we can't scavenge.
This guy is a sculpt by Archvillian Games that I added some Ork bits onto for just extra grim scavenged looks. The objective was to make a sci-fi miniature from The Grimdark future get fed through a fantasy lens. I imagined a sci-fi warrior just getting trapped on a planet long term, the armor fails, the weapons break, and before you know it he's gone feral. Worked on skin tone with this guy for the exposed skin with layering and enamel wash as a mid layer. Figured I would make one axe glow to add a fantasy element or make it the one scifi piece of this guy that still works.
Love the background lore of this model, excellent use of orky bits and great grimdark paint job grear addition of thr OSL 💪🔥
