Bigging up the love for Runewars Miniatures kit

By Watercolour Dragon, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Flesh rippers are awesome creatures- but if you ever met one in the flesh (ripping) you'd have to hope it was like the 'dangerous' dogs thing- show no fear as fear= don't trust this hooman, me your friend, nice doggy

Extra fun facts!

Instead of original artwork from Runebound:
vorakesh_runebound.jpg?pub_secret=80e3d7

I used one that Anna Christenson published on her ArtStation, but later on she deleted it. In this artwork "necromancer" is in purple and not in red, like in the official Runewars posts (post 1, post 2):
vorakesh.jpg?pub_secret=0da4f1a6afvorakesh_runewars.png?pub_secret=8d3b8abrwm01_skullarmy.jpg

Also the model is the same, but slightly tweaked sculp from the Battlelore 2nd edition Terrors of the Mists. However it is much more larger and detailed (real size matched, even though angle is not 100% correct):

Most matching artwork with this miniature is from Runeage, again in red:
runeage_necromancer.jpg?pub_secret=8d8e6

In the Runewars Miniature game he is just unnamed "necromancer" and main undead villain is Ankaur Maro. Users though before the announcements that he will be Vorakesh and they were not that much wrong!
Jordan Kerbow artists of the new artwork named his artwork "jordan-kerbow-17045-lordvorakeshfoot-jordankerbow" in this post on ArtStation, so it was probably changed during the development:
jordan-kerbow-17045-lordvorakeshfoot-jor

I hear Vorakesh sometimes turns up around halloween too....

Fan projects :)

I don't know if this counts, but I have used Runewars Lord Hawthorne sword to replace Alric one 😅 now he has big-*** power sword!

I can now imagine him bringing out former sword, his rival approaching confidently, then him brandishing the big sword- mwahahaha want to mess with me now mortal?

It's quite a good match actually- well spotted to do that- https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/309762-fun-facts-in-descent/page/3/#comments

Do I now need to re-title this thread 'Bigging Up The Swords With Runewars Miniatures' :)

I wanted a Waiqar for my Descent project so am planning to use the Descent Ardus for RWM (as well as Descent and maybe Battlelore!) and the RWM Ardus with a sword from somewhere else (possibly a 'sword in the stone' I have) and a bit of green stuff creativity to make a Waiqar figure as with a bit of work Waiqar kind of works as just a bigger 'remix' of Ardus anyway.
