Work in Progress (WIP): Reaper Hellborn Paladin

When I was sorting through the lead pile a few weeks back, this metal Hellborn miniature caught my eye.  His name is Vaeloth, and he is a paladin of some sort.  I can't tell if he is supposed to be evil or good, and I have no idea if tieflings or hellborns are usually evil/good.  The interesting segmented armor is what caught my eye , along with the good attack pose and wicked sword.

For the record, I think the metal miniatures from Reaper show detail much better and seem easier to paint and prepare.  Also, they don't have the weird facial bluriness that the Bones minis suffer from.  I still think the Bones are a good deal and good to play with; their lighter weight makes them much less prone to chipping when they get knocked over.

I'm going for a kind of blue metal on the armor here - although this armor could be construed as leather.  This guy will most likely have silver chainmail, done in a NMM style. I'm going to try and think of some blue-complimentary or split complimentary colors for the skirt and shirt sleeves. Something that will have a nice contrast with the blue.  

For the wolf pelt, I think that a medium to light brown would look good...perhaps even a little reddish. 

That is it for now...good painting to you all!
