Heavy hoofbeats on a the gloomy forest path. a cloaked figure, mighty of frame...
His Face hidden by a sinister helmet...
...The Lord of Chaos!
Some say he is the child of a mortal woman and a demon, others that he is the right arm of the devil himself....Frightened rumors say he has risen again after years of sleep and is recruiting a warband from amoung the forest horrors which he will soon lead forth to spread murder and rapine across the land...
Still others, that he intends to go to war with the
Wizard Kobel Yarr. Though none can guess the reason for the feud, they say The Lord of Chaos intends to lead his host of devils and horrors against the hordes of the Yellow Tower of Yugg, and to destroy that accursed edifice forever.
Already the forest lanes and glades are noisome with the clink of weapons and the rustling of great, sinewy bodies as Gnolls and floundering beasts come awake and heed the call of The Lord of Chaos...Liquescent Terrors glide forth from the depths of forest pools and winged, misshapen figures are seen passing across the moon, The Lord of Chaos is coming...beware, Lord of the Tower of Yugg!!
Inspirational fluff. Looking forward (with trepidation) to seeing his warband.
ReplyDeleteThanx! I am hoping to get that warband finished soon. The Lord of Chaos will have four little gangs of horrors to put up against Kobel Yar. 36 minis altogether, and all classic RP from the 70s and 80s.
DeleteGorgeous! For reasons which are not clear to me, I have never studied Tom Meier's work. I guess he got overshadowed in my mind by some of the later sculptors. But seeing this Lord of Chaos makes me think that I have some catching up to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt! Unfortunately Tom worked in a very beautiful and delicate but small scale sometimes called 'true 25mm' by collectors and a lot of his stuff does not play well with other manufacturers from the same and subsequent periods. That may be why you are unfamiliar with him, though a lot of his work is considered ground breaking and genre-defining and in many ways he was far ahead of his time. He's my all time favorite sculptor though, and he recently did a line of elves in 32mm scale that are as beautiful as anything he did in the 80s if not moreso, and would probably work just fine with classic Citadel stuff.
