Bringer of Sorrow in the Webway

Dominion Zephon, the Bringer of Sorrow, from the book Master of Mankind, by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Created for a War in the Webway Heresy-era army. Modeled after the description given in the book: “Zephon’s hands betrayed him, as they betrayed him every day. The metal fingers lifted from the hair strings of the antique harp, their shuddering subsiding as he ceased focusing on them. Zephon was familiar with the science behind this malfunction, having memorised the reports on the various failures of biology/technology linkage taking place where his stumped arms met his bionic limbs at both elbows.” - Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. The Master of Mankind (The Horus Heresy Book 41) (p. 74). “His left leg whirred with smooth mechanics where his thigh and knee had once been, the four-taloned claw that had replaced his right foot clanking down upon the floor.” - Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. The Master of Mankind (The Horus Heresy Book 41) (p. 77). “He was one of only two Blood Angels present in the thirty-strong monastic ambassadorship that the Crusader Host represented.” - Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. The Master of Mankind (The Horus Heresy Book 41) (p. 75). “With reluctance, the Blood Angel lifted his hands, showing his arms composed entirely of metal struts, plating and muscle-cabling from the elbows down.” - Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. The Master of Mankind (The Horus Heresy Book 41) (p. 78). “Immediately outside her cell stood another towering warrior, not quite as tall as the Custodian but still two heads above her. He was clad in red rather than gold and carried his helmet under his arm – a crested portcullis-faceplate of a thing, with a green visor dulled in deactivation. Symbols of white wings adorned his armour plating, as did elaborate silver filigree.” - Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. The Master of Mankind (The Horus Heresy Book 41) (p. 133). “The Blood Angel watched the gathered courtiers and their attendants, standing unhelmed in the acrid, polluted breeze. The gentle wind’s fingers plucked at his golden hair. His arms, both bionic replacements, were crossed over the X made by the reinforced cables across his breastplate.” - Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. The Master of Mankind (The Horus Heresy Book 41) (pp. 133-134). “Zephon’s bandoliers rattled as he walked, the bound arsenal of rad-grenades clinking against his red ceramite. He felt like an imposter in his own skin: the volkite pistols holstered on his thigh plates hadn’t been fired in years, nor had he sparred with the power sword sheathed on his backpack. Similarly, he’d done nothing more than clean and maintain the bolter he now carried over one shoulder, hanging by its thick strap of Baalite mutant hide-leather.” - Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. The Master of Mankind (The Horus Heresy Book 41) (p. 198). “Land turned, looking back over his shoulder as a tall shape emerged from the mist, becoming the Blood Angel Zephon. The twin turbines rising from his back like brutal machine wings swayed with the warrior’s gait. Battle-servitors trundled past, blind to anything beyond the Archimandrite’s guiding signal at the front of the column. ‘Greetings,’ said the pale Blood Angel. His portcullis-faced Mark III helm was under his arm, leaving his face bare.” He doesn't have a bolter because I already had a Heresy-era bolter to use that I attached to the printed model.
