Bors was a killer.
Raised in the unloving backstreets of Barrow, he was a child in the gutter and was made a man in the arena.
Sentenced to the life of an indentured Gladiator for killing a man following tavern brawl, Bors found his calling and became a brutal master in the art of killing. His success in the arena gained him a wealthy patron, Lord Aris who elevated him to personal bodyguard, It was in this position that the hand of Tzeentch intervened.
Lord Aris was travelling between his country residence through the Wilds when his Caravan was set upon by brigands.
A wealth man, Lord Aris had paid for a large guard as well as the service of Bors and the the brigands were well met but by the days end only Bors remained alive and as he stumbled from the shattered carriage of his former patron he came across the corpse of the brigands leader.
Bors was drawn to the leaders helm, a grand helmet with a golden moon crest, and like a victorious crown he raised it up and placed it upon his own bloody brow.
The helm was no mere thing of iron but a tool of Tzeentch and a bound lesser demon within it began to speak and fill Bors with a vision of his glory and the bright path ahead.
His old life forgotten, Bors travelled to the Church of the Transmogrification and pledged his rage to its cause.
The figure is an old Citadel Chaos Thug from 1988 and is a fantastic figure, full of old hammer charm with his classic barbarian lower half and his contrasting knight top. The whole sculpt has loads of energy and character and so decided not to convert him and just add the hint of corruption, as if heh has just started on his path, his hands starting to discolour and his armour gaining the hint of blue like the cursed helm. The name is taken from one of the knights of the Round Table

Muted colours, perfect colour scheme, model selection beyond reproach, great conversions and Hex bases.
