The new Kickstarter had lots of extra models, but not a lot of solo characters. The Swarm Lord is the one for Adversary.
This is a big metal model on a 40mm base. He means business. I leaned heavily into the bee theme. The darks are a colorshift deep blue, which works well as a stand in for iridescent chitin.
Part of the latest Relicblade Kickstarter was resculpting some of the oldest models. So here we have new versions of the Temple of Justice.
The Questing Knight was my favorite of the original bunch. At first I wasn’t too sure about the new one. But the detail on the armor won me over.
I totally dig these dragonmen. Give me more.
Last time I painted the whole weapon as if it were made of spirit magic. This time, I decided it was a (relatively) normal weapon, being used by magic.
The rogue was my least favorite of the original set, at least in part due to my paint job. So why did I choose the same color scheme? Oh well, at least the shoes and kneepads are more different than the skin.
Much like the Advocate side, I already had the alt for the Iguan Marauder, so I focused my hobby time on the new characters.
This pig is my favorite of the bunch. He’s got such weight to him and strength to his pose.
I’m a huge sucker for the crow face, whether bony like on the Dark Prophet or in mask form like Malifaux’s Carrion Effigy. The colors I chose are a bit bright and happy for a dark master, but since I’m usually quite drab I’ll give myself a pass here.
The Slayer Squid is model that I think suffers the most from the one-piece design. From this angle it’s a great model. But as you turn it it’s a bit flat. There are so many arms, it’s too bad they can’t be more dimensional. I’d be thrilled to see this guy reposed as a multipiece.
The Storms of Kural, Relicblade’s latest Kickstarter, has a great sampling of new characters from the various thematic factions in Relicblade. I already got the alternate sculpts for the Lone Guard Infiltrator and Warden of Justice, so I focused on the brand the characters.
This hat gives me a strong David the Gnome vibe, so I leaned into it.
If the magic doesn’t work, don’t worry, there’s still a knife in tow.
