of 100: Empire Battle Wizard Lord using the Lore of Shadows
Photography still sucks but sucks a little less with the addition of some
directional lighting.
This
is Thelius Umbra, a very longstanding character of mine from the
earliest days of my hobby. Originally he was a 40k character, the
Arch-Heretic of my Lost And The Damned army. These days, and it is a
very long story, he is the Patriarch of the Empire's Grey College.
He's
a good guy now. In a different universe. He's still the same guy.
We'll get to it. Someday.
This
was a fun model for me to make: a simple little conversion taking the
body of the Wizard from the Empire Luminark / Hurricanum, giving him
a head from the Empire Handgunners sprue that makes him look a little
like John Hurt (though I imagine him more as a pensionable Roger
Delgado) and a staff top from the High Elf Mage set.
He'll
be my General (at least for the Altdorf game) but, honestly, I just
made this because our group has been playing with the idea of Umbra
as this Machiavellian spymaster for over a year now and I just wanted
to make a model for him. His first model, really, as 19 year old me
just picked up a random Chaos Space Marine Sorcerer and painted it
grey to represent him. He's a really fun character for me to write
and getting to use him in a game every now and again will be a little
bit of a treat.
