Title: Apocalyptic rider, mounted Reaper, Nurgle champion or whatever
Post by: Michi on May 04, 2024, 08:17:32 PM
Honestly, I have no idea what he actually is. I reckon it could be a champion of Nurgle or some other kind of Chaos knight from the Warhammer world. I own him for several decades now and finally gave him a coat of paint for no specific reason, but to have him finished at last. Maybe he'll find some use in Frostrgave or TSB, as I don't play Warhammer or any derivates.

I think he's one of the older champions they released during a big campaign back then. Great work on the beaten metal of the scythe and that poor, poor horse :D

He is indeed a "Lord of Nurgle".  Came in his own little box.  Shows up in the 2010 Citadel Catalog.

Very nice job! I like your palette a lot and that’s a pretty cool figure - not as “busy” as more recent GW figures.

Beautiful work Michi, I really like the silhouette of this cast, it is such a classic fantasy image.

Very appropriately unsettling- the horse is absolutely incredible work, great inspiration :)

Very nice indeed. Love the blue shade you've given the horse.  8)

I think this sculpt has been the inspiration for the later Harbringer of Decay; there are some definite similarities there:

('Eavy Metal paintjob; certainly not mine... ::) )

I didn't know that one, but you seem to be right - there are quite a few similar elements...  :D
