The House of Lord Solar
The Church of the Dead Sun was no more.Its brightest had led the way into the white wall that devoured the great city and died for their defiance. But not all had joined the procession and from that cabal Lord Solar remained.
As the end approached Lord Solar withdraw to the tomb he had long held prepared and called to him those servants and courtiers he would take with him. They filled the first chamber beneath the edifice and took the sacrament that would end their lives and bind them to him forever. Their spirits locked inside their bodies as they awaited his commands.
Deeper still lay the vault of Lord Solar and a Pale yellow sarcophagus inset with carnelian runes and wards. resplendent in his ceremonial robes of scarlet and yellow, he lay down and bound his spirit to his body that he might endure the cold and wake one day to take his place in the city.
With the building completed I started work on the skeletons, and also a backstory and reason for the scenario. I had a vision of a powerful sorcerer who had tried to survive the destruction, the mausoleum an ancient bunker, and his most loyal servants sat dead in obedient rows waiting to be summoned.
The Games Workshop skeletons had started last time I attempted Frostgrave so were all given new lower bases
I wanted my skeletons to be robed to fit the image of them as resurrected servants. Tissue paper was wrapped around them to make the robes and then wiped over with superglue which hardens it, you can also use drying time to shape it as well
Skeletons rebased and first coat of Soft yellow added.
Bases completed
To create the undead Sorcerer Lord Solar I used an old Games Workshop Wight and raised him up to make him more imposing and give the impression of him floating
Robes and cloak added with tissue paper and superglue
Completed Lord Solar
Completed skeletons, each of them bears a parchment nailed to them binding them to Lord Solar
Lord Solar and his court emerge from his Mausoleum
Next on my list will be a couple more general buildings, some more bases and the Genie and bottle.
