Hello folks! Been a while. I've been insanely busy for some time and haven't been able to do much hobby stuff in that period. On top of that, I took some time to reorganize and re-jig my work-space, and also to re-consider my approach to the hobby generally; I'll cover that in more detail with a later post, however.
Additionally, I've actually made contact with some fellow hobbyists locally, some from the Ammobunker website, and have now got a group for games of Inquisimunda/Inq28, which is great as it gives me more incentive to get projects finished in a timely fashion.
So here's my latest member of my Hive Spire Noble warband, another "Knight", this one more of a close combat specialist proficient in the art of dueling with swords, knives and pistols.
Syr Balphorus Ziegl; Knight in service to House Corbulio, by way of the ancient Tithe system.
As with the other nobles so far, he has his official documentation hanging from his belt. His coat of arms is a golden key on a black field, and I also added a key hanging from his belt as well; I like to think his family is somehow connected to finance and banking in the upper Hive.
I wanted him to give off a vibe of being highly skilled and dangerous, with the kind of martial prowess in the weapons of the nobility that only hours of private tutelage will allow. At the same time I wanted to convey a decadent, preening foppishness, an elitist and snobbish air, which ended up with giving him powdered face and rouge make-up, as well as a delicate white lace neck scarf. I also added a black strip of warpaint to keep in theme with his gang-mate, Syr Ymir, and to give him a slight Adam Ant feel.
As well as his Archotech rotary autopistol and elegant chainsabre, he has a pair of matched daggers as back-up.
Hope you enjoyed!
