Quick hit this morning - I was re-listening to Talon of Horus in audiobook form while painting yesterday (pics of that progress shortly!), and thought it would be fun to take a quick break from painting and build a new version of Iskandar Khayon!


Taking a modeling cue from the previous version, I started with the new plastic Ahriman model as a basis, swapped out the staff for Kayon's force axe Saern, and carved out the space for an alternate head and backpack. His daemon-wolf Gyre got a slight size reduction, and this time around I'll be painting her black-furred - I'd missed the reference to her color on the first read-through, doh!

It could be fun to put together a diorama of the Rubric being incanted with Khayon and Ahriman confronting each other, after all I do have an Ahriman and an apparently unhealthy fixation on building sorcerers! Could be also be fun to do a command squad that includes Mekhari and Djedhor, the two Rubricae that accompany Khayon in the book. Djedhor is mentioned as being a standard bearer at one point, and perhaps I can find a reasonable counts-as use for Gyre in there somewhere as well...
