I said I was itching to do more of a skeleton horde. This isn’t exactly a horde, but it’s a start.
Bone Construct
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.
Bone Stalker (blue)
Bone Stalker (green)
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”).
Dark Watcher
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.
I picked up these treemen from the Impact Miniatures booth at Adepticon. Most of the chibis I’ve shown on the site are from this booth. I selected these models as monsters for Relicblade, though they’d be at home in just about any fantasy setting.
Treeman (brown)
Relicblade has an illustrative style, a few steps down the path towards comic books. It’s one of the aspects that really draw me to the game. I thought these models had a similar approach.

Assembling them was a pain. They came in a soft resin which didn’t take to being sanded. The torso came as four separate pieces (front, back, sides) that didn’t fit together particularly well. It was quite a challenge to get them to stick together, in shape, without major gaps. I failed at the last, a few blobs of green stuff saved the day.
I’d love for Relicblade to have more official monster models, but in the meantime these guys fill in nicely.
Relicblade’s Pack Yak objective marker continues my tradition of sillyloaded down models.
Pack Yak
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.
Last in the current set of M3E keyword fill and another Swampfiend, the Adze.
Adze
The Adze is the big brother to the Will o’ the Wisp, and will be packed together when reboxed for M3E. I’m glad I was able to snag one first.
I followed mostly the same paint scheme, with with brown hair for more of a moth look. These models are so strange I’m not quite sure what to think of them.
