These little fishies are the latest release for Relicblade. They form a new unit type, the Team. They must be hired in pairs, activate in pairs, and even share upgrades as a pair.
I liked the yellow on some of the studio models, but of course had to do something to be special. I decided mine would be striped.
These models have this awesome manic energy. The big expressive eyes were just begging to join in the fun. Now they’re ready to charge across the battlefield and trip their enemies.
The Iguan Assassin is a solo character themed to go with the Wretched Hive. He’s also the final model I needed to have the entire Relicblade line painted.
He also gets a different red skin. The purple shoulder piece and bracer match the purple on my Mangrove Basilisk, as the Iguans would surely use Basilisk hide to produce armor (they’re Armor 3 after all!)
I’m looking forward to the next Relicblade Kickstarter, so I’ll have more models to paint. Not that I have any particular shortage from other vendors.
The Wretched Hive is the last of the faction packs to be added to my collection.
I decided my lizards would be reds, but each one would have a different red.
The clothes and other accents would be blues and greens. I tried to get a mix of saturation levels for the different elements on each model.
Purple is kind of like an extended red. right? I figured the witch could stand out from the more physical warriors in the set.
But when it came time for the basilisk, all bets were off.
Many Relicblade scenarios involve the use of objectives, usually described as braziers, that need to be activated (lit) by the players. Much like the Pack Yak, Relicblade makes a set of appropriate markers available for sale.
The set contains three braziers, and three removable flames. Each one is a unique sculpt. Unlike the metal miniatures that make up the rest of the Relicblade line, these are in a white resin.
For such a simple model, there’s quite a bit of character to them. There are the skulls of course, but also cracking and dancing flames. The separate flame pieces have a rounded edge that makes them easy to put on without slipping around.
