Janos the Cannibal, a ghoulish knight from a rival undead-ruled kingdom. On orders from his king, he roams the land on a quest to eliminate acolytes of
the Daemon Vvolos. The king considers potential spreading of the
chaotic cult into his own kingdom a threat. Janos is a ruthless slayer with particular hate for Chaos. He does not need the cultists alive, in fact he makes sure the ones he catches are thoroughly obliterated - by devouring their bodies. He has been questing for years now, and his trophy collection as well as his ever growing girth testify to his skill at his job. Yellow-robed acolytes tell terrifying tales of their brothers being caught and eaten alive by this monstrosity. Janos' Chaos-tainted diet is not without effect on his body, however, as visible from his tumorous sword hand. What if he ultimately ends up turning into what he despises?
The shield design comes from the same Ian Miller piece as the shield on the skeleton Kettelhelm from earlier. |
Janos the Cannibal is my entry for The Eclipse contest over at Ex Profundis. Well, it's more like a community challenge than a competition, really. I'm looking forward to seeing other people's witch hunters.
Janos is based on a Blightking, with a Banshee head and bits from a variety of other kits. |

I'll build a warband around
this character eventually. For now I have ideas for his steed (which
he's become too corpulent to ride) and a skeletal squire. Maybe even a
cart bearing his collection of trophies taken from all the slain cultists...

Holy heck he's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI had a similar idea a while back but your finished mini looks way better than anything I could come up with.
Wonderful model and a great backstory. As usual you have an amazing ability to combine models into something completely new, and terrifying. Great work. Amazing work on the shield as well.
ReplyDeleteYour creativity knows no bounds Ana! The subtle changes you made to the base mini have turned it into a totally new miniature. The fantastically morbid story just adds a whole new dimension to his visage.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff :)
Amazing dark work!
ReplyDeleteJanos is beautiful, if it is the right word.
ReplyDeleteHe is awesomely gross!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, everyone!
