So this month I spent most all my time doing my best on my army general, Dirge the Lich. She is the Warhammer Quest Catacombs of Terror lich on a throne, and I gave her a palanquin supported by skeletons for good measure. Although she usually appears to others as a beautiful lady in white, here she is at her most terrifying.
I painted the throne too, the lich is only tacked in, because WQ and D&D double duty.
I spent the past weekend at a convention running the miniatures track which involved running several miniatures events, including a guided paint of skeletons. Having done so many, it has become second nature. But I came home with a skeleton, and so now Dirge has a banner bearer. But since it is not a character, it doesn't count for points.
So-
Dirge- Lich 20 345pt
Banner Bearer 0 pts
Total 345pts
Dirge, ancient and immortal archmage, and high priest of the church of Vecna seven times over. She has risen from her sea bed temple citadel to destroy temple Number 6, in Merchant's Reach, which she built 300 years ago. Never one to hide from combat, she marches in the forefront of her army to view the carnage and aid with her mighty magics. She is borne by a palanquin of select skeleton champions, one from each unit, giving her a clear view of the battle.
She is accompanied by her banner bearer with her personal sigil, the symbol of Vecna surrounded by 5 lightning bolts, one for each of temples she built and then destroyed.
Next month will be the second squad of skeletons which are already done so there will be a host of extras!
Very nice. How stable is the throne when supported by the skellies?
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly stable. I had to glue the skeklies to a base, but once I did that, it is well supported!
DeleteAwesome!
DeleteAh, amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm looking at the cover of White Dwarf 189! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Lissanne 😊👍 love the grave grimed look of your skeletons 😍
ReplyDeleteNice. They look like they were just raised.
ReplyDeleteGrim and menacing! The throne looks great
ReplyDeleteI really like the painting on the liche. The fact that you made this modular for different uses is really cool. Interesting backstory too -- straight from an RPG campaign?
ReplyDeleteThis is the story from our D&D campaign which has been running for over 40 years continuously, so most of the fluff is not necessarily mine (multiple DMs in the same world) Dirge is always a threat, now I guess she will have to attack sometime, she has this nice army and all!
DeleteWow! Impressive/intimidating army general you have there! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Dirge sounds like a right card! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd Ratwig nailed it - an impressive and intimidating sight on the battlefield!
