"Where the daemon treads, there treads the weakling after. Where stalks the dark hunter of the night, creeps behind the craven fool. I say you can find out the servants of darkness and tell them by their mark. For believe me, each bears a Mark, each bears an outward scar of the devilry within. No man is born so unnatural that his body does not revolt at the foul pollution spawned inside.
And by these Marks can you tell them. By the horns of the beast - for they have turned themselves from the light and should be slaughtered like the kine in the fields. By the scales of the snake, - for they slither in dark places and should be beaten with a rod. By the feathers of the eagle - for they have vexed the gods with vain flight and should be brought down with a stone..."

Lucius the Eternal is the 4th commission I've done to date. At first I wasn't interested in the figure because Games Workshop's paint job make him look clownish and silly. After painting him though, I think he's a pretty sweet model. This commission took about a week to do and there was some discussion with the client about the color-choices. I had originally painted him with less color, just black, white and red. The client's feedback in really bringing out more potential on the model and in the end produced a more pleasing figure.
