Relicblade: Iguan Assassin

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.

Relicblade: Wretched Hive

The Wretched Hive is the last of the faction packs to be added to my collection.

Iguan Poacher

I decided my lizards would be reds, but each one would have a different red.

Iguan Slaver

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.

Iguan Witch

Purple is kind of like an extended red. right? I figured the witch could stand out from the more physical warriors in the set.

Mangrove Basilisk

But when it came time for the basilisk, all bets were off.

Relicblade: Braziers

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.

Braziers (lit)

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.

Braziers (unlit)

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.

Relicblade: The Deep (Shark Warrior and Eel Sorcerer)

The Deep is a mini-faction for Relicblade, made up of two models and an eight-card pack, each sold separately. Uncommonly for Relicblade they come on 30mm bases.

Eel Sorcerer

The Eel Sorcerer has a snake and a lamp, so you know he’s serious. Unlike most other Wizard characters he only has 4 AD, but he has a useful dagger and ranged spell attack, so doesn’t necessarily need a bunch of 2-AD upgrade spells.

Shark Warrior

The Shark Warrior, on the other hand, just has blades. Nasty nasty blades. As a Knight, he gets access to cool upgrades like Sword Master and Writ of Justice.
