Kehler Arhnoth

It all begun with a dream. Kehler dreamt of the whole world dead, with him as the sole living creature commanding vast legions of the undead. Kain Von Todtstein made the dream closer to reality by recruiting him in the ranks of the "New Night Order" and gaining him access to the powerful books of necromancy. Soon enough, this infamous and deranged dark wizard became known for his obscure, forbidden rituals which he performed in order to bring the departed back to life. However he didn’t limit his doings to the dead, but also the living! His sick and perverted interest in human body and a lifelong goal to achieve immortality led him to numerous and unscrupulous experiments. Even children were used in obscene experiments and unholy rites. His loyal gang of grave robbers begun a spree of kidnappings and murders throughout the land in order to provide new subjects for their master. They ravaged and pillaged, no ground was deemed holy and no deed evil enough. After numerous gruesome and inhumane experiments in pursuit of immortality, Kehler became a pale, hunched and soulless figure, with a cold stare, looking as though the life itself was sucked out of him. Kain Von Todtstein knew very well that Kehler’s talent and cruelty will be more than welcome in the service of "The Nameless One".  

For the Kehler character I decided to use a standard Games Workshop Necromancer. I always liked the model for it's expressive, old face and ragged look. His stuff made of a stick and collection of skulls fits perfectly with the rest of the character. I decided to paint him in earthy tones, black and browns, to make him look even more like a rough-looking man wearing ragged clothes. Also, this way the bright green glow from his skull is in contrast with the rest of the model and becomes a focal point. I also think that the model is very photogenic. :)
