Warhammer Quest - Wizard / Witch - Melisandre

As we all know a good wizard is the backbone of a party of adventurers. Without a healer you're gonna have a tough time of it. 

The first few settlements for our Wizard, were pretty unkind. However after our party entered the worlds edge mountains things started to look up for her. In the last little village, just south of Karak Varn she ended up betrothed to an attractive farmer son. This prompted her to adopt the nickname Melisandre. 

Aenur - Sword of twilight

For a miniature which is probably 15 years old this one has stood the test. Aside from the clean up this model needed to be ready for painting it is a great canva, it was the perfect excuse for a bit of freehand. 

This miniature has been painted for a project I've started: Warhammer Quest on a budget. I'll stick a post up about this shortly.

WiP - Aenur cloak freehand painting

I'm pleased the detailing on the silk cloak turned out better than expected, after risking the paintjob to try out a bit of freehand. 

Starting with a dark brown sketch out of what I wanted, before working up to an almost NMM gold filigree. 

Picking the areas which required a highlight wasn't easy and I ended up making the decision to almost abandon source light for the sake of the design. I may return to specific areas and thin layer darker blue to maintain the shadow. 

Oldhammer - Slaanesh Champion

... And here it is finished.

WiP - Aenur sword of Twilight

Origins unknown. Despite the hinted clichés, a captain of the famous sword masters of hoeth, or a royal leaving his princely beginnings and tremendous wealth in search of something more meaningful, or possibly something lost from his past. Truth be told it's not clear from his back story what race of elf he is, only that he really knows how to use a sword.

I actually like the idea of Aenur. I'm also completly won over by the gorgeous sculpt. The flowing cloak, rogues earring and supremely detailed armour hidden beneath. It's an absolute pleasure to paint.
