Stormcast Knight Venator

This will be/is my Everchosen entry. I wanted something that looked impressive, and the Knight Venator is one of the most impressive Stormcasts that fit the requirements on the contest. He's from one of the Silver Tower box sets, although honestly, he'd be pretty cumbersome to use in Silver Tower/Shadows over Hammerhal.

I won't post this until after the contest has occurred.

I mostly just followed my standard formula for Stormcast's of the "Knights of Sigmar's Temples".
He looks good from a distance, but some of the fine details are a bit patchy. The wings were done using thinned down contrast paint [basilicus grey over admin grey, with dry brushes of pallid wych flesh and white scar white and guilliman blue in the recesses]. Maybe I shouldn't have done such deep shading on them. A pastel look might have come out better. I'm going back and forth on that. As always, edge lining wasn't perfect either (although I like to think I'm getting better at that). I think the bird came out well and makes for an interesting color contrast to the main model!

Here's hoping I do well.
