Cado Ezechiar

 Cado Ezechiar is the protagonist of The Hollow King by John French. Of all the novels out there that get miniatures based on them, I'm not entirely sure why THIS on got one. I've been listening to the Audion book last week while painting and it's okay... I enjoyed it - apparently enough to go out and buy the MINIATURE of Cado... 

There were other factors involved. I liked the look of the mini... thought it might come in handy in Warhammer Underworlds - He seems like the PERFECT character for Silver Tower as he is driven by a singular purpose - hunt down and destroy the Burning Hand - a Tzeentch Sorceress and her army that destroyed his kingdom at the end of the Age of Myth. He'd be a likely candidate for busting into a Silver Tower to slay all the Tzeentch Daemons and cultists within and then shake down the Gaunt Summoner so find out more about the Cult of the Burning Hand?! 

Surely someone, somewhere, has statted him out for this purpose!? 

Cado Ezechiar

I used a base from a Stormcast model - rather than the plaing 40mm base that it came with ... and then added a few sculls and helmets and masks (mostly of Chaos warriors!) 

Also Cado is a Vampire Lord - playable in a Soulblight Gravelords force... and I do have a growing force of those - thank's to Warhammer Underworlds and Warhammer Quest: Cursed City! 

Next up...? Probably the Gargant... or the next (and final) batch of Kairic Acolytes! Then I just have a handful of Tzangors, and Grot Skuttlers and the Gaunt Summoner and a few more familiarts and we'll be ready to play through Silver Tower.

 

Work-in-Progress Wednesday - 12 June 2024 (plus new FREE Mini-of-the-Month)

Wow... got a lot of stuff FINISHED in the last week; Thundrik's Profiteers, The Chosen Axes, and my (Stand-In) Chaos Gargant...

Still a LOT of stuff on the workbench, though... 

Earlier today I rode out to the Warhammer Store and picked up the new Free Miniatures-of-the-Month - a Dark Oath Chaos Warrior! 

What have I actually been working on this week...?

I did assemble the Cado Ezechiar model I picked up last week... It came with a bare 40mm base, but I ended up using a modeled base from a free Stormcast Eternal mini that I'd picked up, but then realized was missing a leg!? (The shield from the same Stormcast Eternal is on the Gargant's base!)

I've also done a bit of work on the Chaos Gargant. 

Because it's a CHAOS Gargant, I wanted to do the skin in a not-so-traditional colour - like the Stand-In Chaos Gargant - but decided I should do a different colour... and chose green - as a sort of contrast to the purple of the Stand-In Gargant... but I'm not loving the green and now I'm kind of regretting it and wishing I'd just done purple on this one as well... but I'm not sure I can be bothered to try and go back and start over... because I kind of want to just GET IT DONE!!!

These are two Kharadron Warlord characters for Warhammer Quest games that I was working on along with Thundrik's Profiteers... The one on the left is, I think, Shadow Over Hammerhal, and wasn't given a name. The other is Dagnai Holdenstock, from Cursed City. As I got close to finishing those, these got left by the way-side in favour of just getting the others DONE and off the workbench. I imagine I'll finish these up in the next day or so... 

Few other 

I definitely did a little bit of work on the Kairic Acolytes this week, I was working with a lot of gold and used a bunch left over on these guys and then did some work on base colours for skin. 

So many rats and goblins and other assorted bits and bobs... but not many of those have been worked on this past week... 

I think the PRIORITY for the next week is the Chaos Gargant and maybe the Kairic Acolytes... Then there are just a handful of Tzangors and the Grot Scuttlers and six more familiars... oh, and the Gaunt Summoner... and THEN I'll be ready to play Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower...
