Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve last posted an update for this faction, the last post about this army was my kit bash model of Elder Hag Hexter, which was way back in January. However, I’ve now returned to this WIP faction project after a long absence from other projects.
My plans for this faction have changed from my original goal of creating a 1,500pt army, to instead going towards a 100 renown Flesh-Eater Courts Skirmish hunting party. I think this is sensible decision because the army has deep lore that ties it to the Grey-mane dynasty, which would be better presented for small narrative skirmish games. Therefore I won’t need to invest much for this collection, as I’ll only need one warscroll for each unit to play skirmish.
Now with that I’ve explained all that, let’s take a look and see what’s new for the faction.
Elder Hag Hexter
looking very grotesque and vile by the curse of King Ren’s gift, Hexter has been transformed into a creature of misery and morbidity. A Sychophant Ghoul Queen tied to the Liverbone Court, changed after nearly dying from intense magical burns by a ‘dead kings’ ring of ancestors old. Her hatred for her nemesis is raw to the core of her being, she would see that this undead king will perish by her alchemical magic, to encase him in enteral molten gold as punishment for her pain.
This is one of my favourite models I’ve painted so far for this faction, I like how her pose and facial expression gives off this animalistic intent to strike at her target. The Blood on her clawed hands and mouth creates a great touch to her ghoulish state, making her less human by her degrading appearance.
So far the collection includes 3x Crypt Horrors, 1x Crypt Haunter Coutier, 1x Crypt Ghast Courtier, 3x Crypt Ghouls and 1x Abhorrent Ghoul Queen. I’ve estimated that all of this totals to 80-90 renown, but I’ll check the proper calculation when I’ve got a few more Crypt Ghouls into the skirmish hunting party.
My plans for this project are to paint a few more Crypt Ghouls for a unit of 10x, as well as painting my Crypt Infernal Courtier. After that I’ll only need to get a unit of Crypt Flayers to finish off this project, which will give me a variety of options to choose my units for skirmish games.
As for my Abhorrent Ghoul king on Terrorgheist? Well, I’ll keep him on display in my model shelf as a display piece. The model is quite fragile to transport with me for gaming, which is sad. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean to say that Ren himself won’t be joining the skirmish battles, yet……
