Idols of Torment is a dark skirmish game developed by Jeremy of Black Magic Craft, and his friend JP, in which different factions, called Orders, compete against each other to harvest the souls of the Lost in a zone called the Echo. Our local gaming group had a opportunity to play test the rules before they went to publication.
Each Order consists of a Reaper, a Corrupter, two Slayers, two Lurkers, two Stalkers, and a Totem, each class with is own set of abilities. Each of the eight Orders also has some special characteristics unique to that faction to keep the game play interesting. Here is my version of the Insatiate, representing Consumption, Greed, and Need. They are the official minis for the game, although the game is designed to be 'miniature agnostic'. They are all 3D printed, which gives some very detailed miniatures, but at times it was difficult to get the paintbrush into some of the recessed areas. The wings on all the figures are quite delicate, and I think it is only a matter of time before one gets broken. I painted them using Vallejo acrylics and a variety of Citadel washes to get that 'parched vampire' look.

Corrupters are the only Idol class that can bind themselves to the prime energy in the Lost. Totems are a superconductor of corrupted energy that enables an Eternal to manifest their Idols and focus their powers into the afterlife realm. Reapers are the Idol class specialized in reaping the souls of the the Lost.

Stalkers are the Idol class specialized in manoeuvering around the Echo.

This project was definitely something different from my usual fare. All the figures are 45mm tall, with the exception of the Reaper that stands at 60mm in height. The photos don't do the figures justice. The lighting bleached out a lot of the colours, but I hope you get the idea. 😁
The points being claimed are as follows:
Sylvain: this looks like a super interesting game. The figures are unique and very... appealing in their own creepy way. Your paint job really brings out their vampire quality. Plus this is your THIRD submission for Monday. This will probably shoot you up in 1st position. What next will you bring to us?
