We have come for you.

Next week we start the First Claw Tutorials. As a taster, Relics of Ruin has kindly written a short description of Cyrion, and the parts list.

"Aside from Talos, getting Cyrion right was probably the most important part of this project for me. Love him or hate him, he's such a great character in the trilogy, and I really wanted to do him justice. His mix of arrogance, cynicism, and manipulation makes him so memorable.

Getting the pose right was a big part of that. I wanted a certain arrogance to his stance, almost like he knows something everyone else doesn't. For the body, I used the Emperor's Children Tormentors kit, removing some of the iconography while keeping just enough to hint at his fall to Slaanesh.

For the helmet, I turned to the MKII Tactical Squad kit, which has a great selection of classic Mark II helmets. I specifically chose one of the simpler designs to give Myles a clean canvas for painting Cyrion's iconic lightning-bolt "tears."

Cyrion might not be the most likable member of First Claw, but he's easily one of the most interesting. Hopefully, I've captured a little of what makes him such a bastard!'

My thanks to Relics for providing these AMAZING models for Halloween month! Which member of First Claw would you like to see analysed next?

NEW MINIATURE ALERT!

After the success of The Despoiler, we've settled on this year's exclusive mini.

The martyred Angel of blood. I think you can guess what this will be, considering how much of a fan I am of this character and legion.

PRE-SALE - MARTYRED ANGEL OF BLOOD

UPDATE - There's a very, very rough WIP in the Discord. You haven't joined yet?
