Had a second elite from the Aerial Ambush set and thought of a perfect Valentine's gift for the waifu! (she has claimed all my other Sangheli figs).
Thel before he became the Arbiter!
I completely disassembled the figure and hit all the armor with a canary yellow. After drying I applied a burnt yellow to highlight areas to match the cutscenes from Halo 2. I then applied black accents and cyan and neon green for the lighting details. I painted the undersuit in black while leaving the head the matte grey. After assembly I coated the entire figure with satin modpodge and popped in a detailed indigo plasma rifle and built a quick custom stand. I have never been so happy with a full repaint of a figure!
I also flipped the shoulder armor upside down and it mimics Thels almost perfectly!
Feel free to comment and let me know what you guys think!
