This is Uriel, a Dark Angels librarian. Space marine librarians, unlike their modern counterparts, have prodigious psychic powers as well as really big swords. Actually, this model started life with a really big staff, but a little work with a tiny hacksaw and hobby knife solved that problem. Swords are so much cooler. In the grim darkness of the far future, you'd best make sure you return your books on time. For me, the focus of this model was the sword. The glowing effect comes from a blending technique that I copied from some of the miniatures Games Workshop has been putting out lately. I think it came out well, and I like the way the glowing effect pulls the attention to the center of the model. He's got a very expressive face, so I wanted to highlight it.
