Rordan Karthur - Hive City Governor

Rordan is one of the figures from the axiom's Colony 87 Kickstarter.
When I picked the set up, I thought he'd make an ideal objective for Pulp Alley games. I also have some solid ideas for creating a Pulp Alley League around him. That will be a good while down the track, though. Before then, he's set to play a significant role in a Pulp40k campaign kicking off next year.
This really is a superb figure - full of character, plenty of interesting detail without being too busy. I've included the side shots so you can appreciate the face - a real highlight of the miniature.
Looking at the photos, I notice the checks on the robes are a little messy...grrrr... Still, what a brilliant figure.

    Ace ! I really like the colour combo you used here and the red you used is just vibrant as needed. I have to agree with your comments on the sculpt too, just the right level of details. Really a nice, always great to see different ways to paint a single model.

      Thanks Suber. It's funny that our versions are quite similar - just some colours in opposite places.

    He is fantastic. The color combo of red and blue sometimes doesn't really come off well when I try it, but your execution is very effective. Those jewels really pop too.

      Thank you, Major. I was inspired by some 40k artwork I came across on the web, which I liked the look of.
