 Hey folks, welcome back! This blog focuses on my new, monstrous, legendary , Lord of Change! In SAGA Age of Magic, no Otherworld warband is complete without an Archdemon, so it was high time to construct my own. This miniature was inspired by Games Workshop's Age of Sigmar  (formerly  Warhammer Fantasy Battles ) and Warhammer 40,000 , two intellectual properties I've been a fan and player of for the last twenty five years (at the time of writing, it's the apocalyptic year of 2020).

I knew that these must  be included in my warband, so I chose to use them to represent my flying Warlord and flying hearthguard. Now, while this all sounds well and good, one must remember that I'm playing in 15mm scale, not 28mm scale. Discs of Tzeentch have never been produced   in 15mm scale , but I wasn't going to let that little hurdle stop me. Instead, I elected to embark on a maddening journey in sculpting, silicone mold making, and resin cast...
