Torhart Shroudkin, Stormcast Eternal Lord-Relictor - part 2

I never really liked the coffin-on-a-stick so here's my Lord-Relictor for Silver Tower (and smaller scale AoS games), now with 2 hammers!

I considered a different option before I settled on the 2nd hammer, I nearly went with an empty hand, but the pose seemed off:

So I made a hammer using (from the Warhammer Chapel OoP scenery kit) and part of the staff from the relic, cut down with the base of the staff moved up to the new base.

Inspiration - Tractatus de Nigromantia

I really love hand written manuscripts and books and a lot of my warbands will probably show this. This book is in Manchester and I really have to find time to see it in real life!

Tractatus de Nigromantia
Due to popular demand, here is the 'Tractatus de Nigromantia', our MS Mun. A.4.98

See the pdf of the Tractatus.  (105MB)

This curious manuscript, written mainly in English, is a grimoire, or magical textbook, containing prayers, invocations, exorcisms and conjurations together with mystical diagrams inscribed in circles. There a re bizarre references to the 'Queen of the Phairies' and the 'Sisters of the Phairies' as well as directions intended to lead the reader to hidden treasure.

Stormcast Eternal Lord Relictor - part 1

I have never really liked the "coffin-on-a-stick" that the Lord Relictor carries, but I really like the background, look and feel of the model otherwise and wanted to use one as my Silver Tower character.

So I used the staff in his right hand (without the reliquary) and added a hammer from one of the statues in the Warhammer Chapel scenery kit and reattached the base to the cut-down the staff. I'm not sure of the practicalities of having an hour-glass hung from a warhammer (!) but I think it looks cool, so I'm sticking with it!

I aim to get him painted in the next week or two as Godfather Viktor has started assembling and painting his Silver Tower models.
