Darkoath Chieftain
Posted: 12. 11. 2020.
This week I've got another update on my Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower customization project: the Darkoath Chieftain.
He's is one of the playable heroes from the core game, actually a champion of the Dark Gods. Once again I opted for completely replacing the original miniature with a conversion. My chieftain is based on an Iron Golems Dominar (Warcry), with a Chaos head (fromt the Manticore kit, I think) and Nighthaunt Knight of Shrouds blade. I stayed quite close to the original idea, though. Even with the pose.
For the design and paintjob references I pored over the artwork of Brom, mostly. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm planning a female counterpart (still looking for a suitable head), and I'm tempted to do a whole warband of them. Maybe an Iron Golems counts-as for Warcry.

Thanks Garvroche!
Excellent work as always. I need to experiment with such unhealthy skin tones - looks great!
Cheers!
Grand re-invention of the Darkoath Chieftain and thoughtful use od Iron Golems parts. I like the way you used reddish mild tones to subtly add color to metals and skin. Looking forward for the female version and the whole warband!
Thank you!
very nice and very sober. Very nice indeed.
