Kroak ready for action! Now the balewind vortex is out of production, it forced me to be creative. I made a vortex with some wire frame, clay and a highlight of Greenstuffworld's Fluor paint with added lines of green shade. After all, Octarine (the Colour of Magic) is described as a greenish purple. If you look at the Vortex base it is supposed to give the idea that kroak is being lifted up along with the floor he's floating at. Hope you like it!
Lord Kroak Lord Kroak may have been the eldest of the fabled First Generation. The mysterious Old Ones taught Kroak about the Winds of Magic and shared the secrets to unwinding time’s delicate threads. So ancient are they that it was Kroak and his peers who taught the first Elves to wield magic. These things and more has Kroak seen; he is fated to endure until the universe’s very last moment. Making the most profound of sacrifices during the Great Catastrophe, his indomitable spirit simply would not concede defeat. In the wake of Itza’s defence, Kroak’s loyal Skink attendants lamented their master’s death. His body was scattered far and wide, so they diligently collected every last scrap of that ravaged body and, with great reverence, the remains were swathed in resin-soaked wrappings; thus was created the first Relic Priest… Golden Death Mask: Lord Kroak's golden death mask protects the mummified head of the venerable Relic Priest. Its most striking features are the two staring eyes made from smooth white and yellow gemstones inlaid to represent the all-seeing and unblinking eyes of Lord Kroak, staring out of eternity and watching over his minions. The hypnotic effect of the mask hinders foes attempting to attack him.
Finished yesterday! Exactly a week after I bought him, I couldn't wait. I can't describe how much fun he was to build and paint, and I'm not even someone who's primarily into AoS for the hobby aspect.
He's so glorious... still waiting for mine to arrive in the mail. I really hope either Games Workshop or Duncan does a painting video...
This looks amazing!! Well done! I’m about half way through mine at the moment, and loving every second. Totally agree that this model is really fun to paint!
Yes Duncan has already painted the glorious new Lord Kroak. Unfortunately it is only on his subscription website. Also Kolectiv SG paints his up on youtube: The way he tackles it is a bit different but the finished result looks fantastic. He also has another youtube video where he does an unboxing, assembly and talks about keeping it in sub-sections to paint
I finally finished Lord Kroak. This model was so much fun to paint, I really savoured every moment of it. I’m sure I’ll want to go back in at some point and add some fine details, but for now I’m calling him done!
