Cassius the Oathkeeper and Wurmwood, Tree of Fate

Posted March 4, 2012

Today I finished up my first Circle caster - Cassius the Oathkeeper. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out (for gaming). He's a really cool sculpt - the thing that took me the longest was just trying to do justice to his face, which is a very characterful sculpt. The photo is a little harsh (the sword is not that glaring silver in person). Also the hanging rib-cage broke off Wurmwood very quickly and I just said F it and left it off rather than try to reattach it :)

I hear Cassius is a hard caster to use (read: win with) and I'm still trying to figure out what I will take with him. I want to use at least one warpwolf based on the new plastic kit coming later this month. I also have a couple of gallows groves to assemble (they look like a pain so I am dragging my feet...).  I'm also thinking wolves of Orboros might be a good choice for getting soul tokens. If anyone has additional tips, please let me know.

That green on his robes is absolutely gorgeous looking. Genuinely what colours did you use?

Thanks! It's hard to describe because I kinda went nuts back and forth with all kind of greens. There's actually two shades there but they didn't come out well in the photo. The outer robe is a base of Tamiya Deep Green, highlited with iosan green (P3). I believe the inner robe was Nato green, highlited with scorpion green. Used Thrakka Green wash on all of it at various stages. Basically I was just going at it until I was happy with both areas of the robe :D

Hi Matey,

I did leave a third comment on this page but it appears to have been 'eaten'. So perhaps that's a reason you aren't getting comments.

All I said was that I used to love using Tamiya paints as base coats but that I've moved over to undercoating mainly in white and building layers up wish washes.

Hi Jarrett,

I just recently got into warmachine/Hordes and was browsing through your Circle Of Orboros minis. WOW... incredible work. I wish I could paint as nicely as you. You wouldn't happen to do commission work would you?
