Il-Kaithe Farseer

o/

There's some witchery in-progress!

Moving right along, I finished up my Farseer. I got this 'Warlock' off of eBay for a grand total of $11.19 with shipping and sales tax. When it arrived, I realized it was a Farseer (which was a nice trade up). As such this is my fledgling force's warlord. Not that that wouldn't have also been the case were it actually the Warlock I thought he was.

32mm base and greenstuff aside, this is how it looked when it arrived in the mail, conveniently it was already based coated in Il-Kaithe colors.

It even arrived with the spear's shaft intact,

but that wouldn't last for long...

Shortly after this guy arrived and I started painting on it, I dropped it and the singing spear's shaft snapped as I caught it. Yay. It broke at about the midway point and while fixable, I figured that future breaks would be inevitable. 

A spear no more.

While the spear is superior to the blade, this isn't a guy I want that close to the enemy anyways. 

I'm really pleased with the drybrushed highlights on his coat. 

Thus, I trimmed the shaft down to a hilt, and turned the spear into a more durable witchblade. I'm sure he also has a shuriken pistol concealed somewhere. Under his coat, bag of holding, portable hole, something like that. 

As you saw in the eBay pics above, I trimmed the 25mm base down as far as I could and glued it onto a 32mm base to match the rest of the army. I then green stuffed the gap. Once painted, sand and the tufts were applied, it all blended together nicely. 

Perfection! 

This was a fun one to paint, now back to the rank and file I guess.

I already have two guardians and one dark reaper partially base coated using excess green and purple paint from my little paint palette. I'll likely paint those as a batch to break the monotony, especially as they have similar color schemes (well ok, the Reaper has a lot black as well).
