Talos Valcoran: The Soul Hunter
Did this after one of my viewer from the other pieces asked me to try. Been fun working on it, starting out using it as a demo piece during one of the local events. It took me quite a while to finish it while I juggle work in between, and only get to work on it in between jobs as a method of relaxation.
But it’s finally done now hahah… shall try a tank or something else next…..
Excerpt From Lexicanum
-Talos Valcoran also known as the Soul Hunter, is a member of First Claw, 10th Company, Night Lords Legion. He is somewhat of a prophet among his warband, for he, like his gene-father Konrad Curze before him, bears the curse of foreknowledge.

The rest of his Legion only joined the hunt when they realised that the assassin had also stolen several of the Legion’s relics (including the Corona Nox), which many captains believed were theirs to inherit.
