The Ogre Retiarius is one of the few solo Adversary models left to join my Relicblade collection, and the only one that doesn’t fit as an expansion to one of the faction packs.
This guy comes with two heads, one helmeted and one bare. The bare head shows a warrior who’s taken some hits, including a massive dent in his skull. Maybe he should have worn his helmet during more of his battles.
I said I was itching to do more of a skeleton horde. This isn’t exactly a horde, but it’s a start.
First in line is the Bone Construct. This guy is huge, possibly the largest Relicblade model released. I love the combined skeletons to make a bigger monster. Unfortunately, the rules make it hard to justify bringing him. As a construct, his AP is his health. And you need to charge him up with healing. I just don’t see it being worthwhile.
The Bone Stalkers, on the other hand, are amazing fast little fiends. Move 5″ with a 10″ leap. I decided to paint their decayed shirts in simple bright colors, to make them easy to distinguish on the table (“I’m activating the blue stalker”).
I often find I paint my models dark and even drab. The Dark Watcher is an attempt to paint a brighter and bolder. I’m not sure I’m totally happy, but at least it makes a nice contrast with Vandas Greycloak.
Relicblade’s Pack Yak objective marker continues my tradition of silly loaded down models.
One of the missions in the Relicblade Seeker’s Handbook is the Pack Yak escort. Really it could be a simple marker, but luckily enough there’s an official Pack Yak objective. I passed on it when I first bought into Relicblade, but am happy I was able to correct that oversight.
Vandas Greycloak is the last model from the latest Relicblade Kickstarter, and is the exclusive model from this release.
As my second undead Relicblade model, I decided he should match the Bone Fury, with the red cloak and blue belt.
In game, Vandas Greycloak acts as an alternate sculpt for the Dark Wanderer. Since he’s a limited release, that makes a ton of sense. People who scored the limited model should just get cool points when putting it on the table, not in-game benefits.
