Truthsayers

Truthsayers are the special breed of Druids, native to Albion, that lead the tribes of human Barbarians and have some control over the Giants of Albion. 

In opposition to the the degenerate humans on the misty island, they are able and skilled magic users that try to protect the artifacts of the Old Ones. Some times they utilise the Giants to move some of the large and heavy Ogham Stones following their visions of fulfilling the great plan of the Old Ones.

Dark Emissaries

A Dark Emissary is a former Truthsayer, a sorcerer from the isle of Albion, that uses a specific strand of Chaos magic. This Chaos magic is granted to them by their lord and master, the Daemon Prince Be'lakor. They traveled the Old World and lured power-hungry, greedy or evil armies to the mist shrouded island, to help their Dark Master. Like the pure Truthsayers they are able to create and control the Fenbeasts of Albion. After the defeat of the Dark Master the Dark Emissaries became targets of the revenge from the Truthsayers as well as from their former allies, who felt misused and betrayed by them. They fled the island of Albion and roam now the Warhammer world as Dogs of War, who sell their service to the highest bidder. They will fight for the Hordes of Chaos and the warherds of the Beastmen as well as for Dark Elves, Vampire Counts, Skaven or Greenskins and even may be hired by some unscrupulous mercenary general or Elector Count from one of the Imperialprovinces. Most notable places where they dwell now are in the Chaos Wastes. Their symbol is a spiral form, a feared and potent sign of dark and Chaotic magic.

I played in the original Shadows of Albion campaign what feels like a life time ago. These models hold some very fond memories for me and reinforces my love for Chris Fitzpatrick sculpts. These models were painted for Animosity Gaming's staggering amazing campaign:

The Truthsayer was painted in warm tones with colours propagating life, fecundity and wholesomeness. The Dark Emissary in contrast has a dour paint scheme, sterile of joy.

Krom Dragon Gaze Space Wolves Lord. Sanctus Reach

The base for the grey armour was given a base coat of Blue Gray Smoke from the Com Art Medea Airbrush range and gradually highlighted with white.  Large flat surfaces tend to be rather boring, especially in grey, so in order to liven the piece up a bit I washed very thin layers of purple and red into the shadows and turquoise into the lighter highlighted parts. This created a faux non metallic metal effect that I was quite pleased with. I then took the thinnest brush I could to paint very fine scratches over the armour. 

I washed several layers of red into the recess' of Krom's face to mirror his crimson cloak. The Cloak really stands out against the grey armour and the cool tones of the base, helping define the ferocious character of Krom.
