These models are from the latest Relicblade Kickstarter, so I’m nearly a year late in painting them. But they came just a few days before I had to shut down the hobby space for months to prep for the move.
I decided to paint mine as if they were feral smurfs. The Chieftain gets red, like Papa Smurf.
The others are unnamed other smurfs, but generally wear white.
While nobody’s likely to pick them up and say “smurf!”, it amuses me.
These paragons are the named character variants for Relicblade. Of course I had to have them.
These are a fun way to revisit existing character types.
I love the bear. Especially the shared chest piece with the druid form. I went for a polar bear look.
I wish Lady Aurelia was more distinct from the regular version. Maybe she could get a giant mace instead of a sword. Or, even better, have a sword sheathed on her back, because she’s delivering a Writ of Justice.
Now we just need a set for Adversary.
Here we are at the last of the latest Relicblade Kickstarter, the Gnome Magister. Of course, it took me long enough that now there are some new Paragon models. But that is for the future.
The Magic Carpet is a mount, so technically the Magister could be mounted on the Shadowfox or Ibex. I decided to skip the magnetizing thing for this time. At some point I hope to buy another and convert the legs to better fit on one of those creatures.
I always struggle with fire, especially large amounts of it. I tried to bring some smoke into it, but the result is just dark.
Otherwise I like the bit of diversity between this and the Water Element Construct. Though give the history of unusual magic types (geomancer, bibliothecary, botanist), I hope the next one is something like an Acid Elemental, or Mud Elemental, or Time Elemental.
