To lead my pilgrims to the disaster and conclude OWAC III, one key character was missing: Pieter the Pious.
Of
course, my small army pales in comparison with the digital multitude of
Kingdom of Heaven, but this golden cross carried by the crusaders on
the battlefield was something I wanted for my band...
Easier
said than done! Instead, I've decided to mix some elements of the
Empire war altar sculpted by Michael Perry with the bearers of the Slann wizard designed by Trish Morrison.
As you can see
on the following pictures, I've slightly converted the altar by adding
candles and a little lectern. I've hesitated to convert the bearers by
adding hoods, but the heads and necks are so weird that I wasn't sure
about the final result. I've finally painted a black cross on their
face, to give them an imperial flavor.
Regarding
Pieter, I've chosen a C3 cleric whose posture is close to the altar. I
can't say it's a great model (arms a little bit too thick and legs a
little bit short), but it'll do the job, I guess.
In
terms of points, Pieter is a level 20 wizard: 240 points. So that's it,
I've reached the 1000 points in 5 months, right on time to pack all my
stuff and move out!
I hope I can paint a few additional pilgrims in June to expand the band... no guarantee though.
Beautiful model and beautifully painted- goes without saying! Looking forward to the group shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
DeleteThis is gold.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely work. The background and thought gone into your army is lovely, as is the brush work. I'm looking forward to seeing them all together!
Well, actually, it's supposed to be a tarnished gold (not sure it exists), but thanks ^_^
DeleteWow dude. Outstanding conversion work and as usual your painting is top notch. I can’t wait to see your final Army photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think painting the war altar took one full week of forced holidays (Covid-19 inside!)
DeleteThat is gorgeous! Nice work and an excellent ending to OWAC III for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Initially, I thought I would have to use my Mulligan to finish the war altar... Covid-19 changed things a little bit...
