Hail, Children of Technology!
Tis I, Redbranch, here to bring you tales from the Bards of Norsca about their Deeds of Violence!
Well, after posting the first lot of Barbarian based minis last week and inspired by the wintery weather outside my window, I thought that it was about time that I showed you the leaders of the Fur Clad, Axe Weilding Marauders of the north.
Firstly we have Hrothgar Greymane, Barbarian Warlord of Jarl Icingaard
As you can see from the Photo above, He absolutely towers over the rank and file marauders which is what I wanted in a warlord. The model is the Avatars of War Marauder Warlord and fits perfectly into my army. In game, he will could as a Chaos Lord with Two Hand Weapons and im not sure what magic items yet. The base is made from several pieces of slate stacked on top of each other and when painted will have Icicles hanging off it.
Next we have Queen Ilsa Frostheart, Ice Sorceress and Half Elf Queen to the Jarl Icingaard
She is the Reaper Miniatures Ice Queen and I think she fits the army pretty well. In game she will count as a Socerer with the Lore of Fire (Lore of Ice) and as with Hrothgar, i have not thought of what Magic items she shall have yet. She shall be accompanied by the first unit of Marauders with Wulferik Greymane.
Next we have Magni Wolfborn, Elder Skald to Jarl Icingaard
This conversion is of the Ar-Ulric model from way back in the days of Storm of Chaos. When I got the model, he didn't have any arms. So, using some leftover marauder bits i created this pose with his one hand resting on his axe and the other raised in the air as he reaches the climactic cresendo of his battlesong . As you can see from the pictures, his arm was recently replaced for the fist in the air. He did have a staff but i didnt think it looked right. In game he shall represent a Sorcerer with the Lore of Death (Songs of Battles). He shall be put into one of the units of marauders for protection.
Next we have Thorvald the Kinslayer
He is the Avatars of War Marauder Champion model and has recently had this head swapped for the unhelmeted version as i thought it looked better. In game he shall represent a Exalted Champion and shall accompany Magni's unit of Marauders into battle.
Finally (for now at least) we have Wulferik Greymane, Son of Hrothgar Greymane
Heres a Group Shot
Another Avatars of War model, he is the Barbarian Hero so as his name says, he fits in perfectly. There is a slight size difference between him and the other Combat characters but his background will explain that he is only just of age. He shall represent another Exalted Champion and shall be put within the first unit of Marauders with Ilsa Frostheart.
I am currently looking for another Sorcerer character to represent the lore of shadow and a mounted Lord to represent Jarl Icingaard and to join my Marauder Horsemen unit (maybe this guy, but with a different rider http://banelegions.maelstromgames.co.uk/?tag=bnl-020) as well as some other Barbarian heroes just for the fun of painting them, i do love Barbarians.
If you would like to get your paws on any of the miniatures featured here or want to have a look at the companies that produced them then heres the links to go look at:
All the Backgrounds and Fluff for the army shall be posted sometime during the week and maybe some pictures of one of these guys finished if i get chance to pick up my brushes. There shall also be a Dark Heresy report from the game yesterday and several Battle Reports from the Dark Underhive of Necromunda, It shall be a busy week indeed!
Until then, Keep your Blades enriched with Deeds of Violence!
