Heroes for the Realms at War!

Akhen-Sur could not see it. He had always been a fool. He had always had hope. “This is where we break them”, “We draw the line here”, always, always with the speeches. For weeks and months and years, we’d fight for one kingdom or another, but they’d always fall. We’d flee. And the next little realm would accept our help. Over and over and over again. For two hundred years we have been fighting against Chaos. Hopeless battles for doomed mortals. I guess that makes me a fool as well. The lightning had changed everything

 

Akhen-Sur could not see it. He had always been a fool. He had hope when there was none. And when hope now rides upon the lightning, he complains about the rain.  I can no longer content myself to drinking the blood of fallen enemies and petty intrigue. It is time…

Two converted heroes! The horse version is my Aspiring hero, whilst the Abyssal Terror is the Legendary. Both of these are custom built for the Realms at War: Legends event in late November. Hosted by EatMingsFoote, it's a narrative event. Really looking forward to it. I went to SCGT, so after this I'll have been at both a top-level tournament and a top-level narrative event. And since it's a narrative thing, it needed custom models.

The horse is from the Empire General, and the vampire is from the Coven Throne. Shaved off all the Sigmar and Karl Franz stuff, hopefully did that well. Made a side-sadle for the lade, so she could sit elegantly whilst murdering fools. Basing is a ruined Dragonfate Dias pillar.

The Abyssal Terror is a unit I've really wanted for a while. The old-school model is a bit funky, so I decided to make my own. It's a Dread Abyssal without any of the armour, shortened tail, converted Arkhan-Abyssal head and Morghast wings. I feel like it's different enough thanks to the wings that people won't assume it's a Mortarch once I say so. Sourcing the wings was honestly the worst. Had to buy a set of Morghasts, so now I'm down one pair of wings. Basing is bits from the GW basing kit, an old set I can't remember the name of, sand, and bricks. Love these little bricks. Nice to not have to make my own out of greenstuff!

The lady herself is the vampiress from the Coven throne. If you pay close attention, you can see that he hair has grown significantly, as has her cleavage. True marks of being more powerful! Blame GW for that last one. I gave her the chalice to give her an air of aristocracy and non-chalance. Then she got a halberd from the Tomb Guard kit, just so she has a weapon that is big enough to be used from up there! Add some greenstuff to cover up the magnets and you've got a legendary vampire!

 

Really looking forward to this event, so now I need to get painting!

Looking awesome! Will also be bringing a Death army - mainly themed around Nighthaunt. Was thinking of something similar for my Legendary model, it's a really nice idea. Looking forward to seeing it on the weekend!
