I forgot to paint his side shields on his thighs in a pattern so had to tear his torso off and repaint them in Long Fang black and white. You can't see it here, but I am mostly satisfied with them too.
I wanted all my Long Fangs to look old just like I wanted all my Blood Claws to look young but missed the mark a little here. I liked the braid hanging out as if he was spinning around to confront a foe and thought that painting the hair white would be enough to make him look old. It was not.
On second thought, I am to most often attach him to a squad of Grey Hunters and not Long Fangs so why did I paint him those colors? I could rip him apart and change his again but fuck that noise. Those black and white spikes are friggen hard to paint.
I don't know that I will field this guy regularly, but I love how the mini turned out.
