This is the second of my Leonatos miniatures; the hero of BloodQuest whose determination and bravery inspires his brothers on their search of the Blood Blade. Although the pose is different for the original, and the miniature is mounted on a standard 25mm base, many of the distinguishing details are the same. This allowed me to quickly convert the miniature from approximately 90 seperate pieces, taking 60 hours to paint.
Curiously, unlike other Blood Angels heros, Leonatos does not wear highly ornamented power armor. His decorations are quite plain, unlike the golden Artificer Armor of Tycho. The pose is base on Mike McVey's limited edition Leonatos miniature; with the Blade Encarmine pointing foward Leonatos commands the Exiles to attack.

Because the base is smaller this time around, a half skull, and tiny twig of ivy are used instead. The Iron Halo on the backpace is slightly larger, and the embroidery on the back of the cape is repeated on this miniature. A daisy again adorns the back of this base. The Blade Encarmine was painted to look almost crystalline. When activated I would guess it glows red with power, hence its name.

This detail photo shows the converted Seargent's head taken from the Tactical Marine Acessory sprue. Of note are the two services studs on the left brow.
