The Theomach... ...in Warhammer!

[Hyarion]

I've read Fatal Revenant (thoroughly enjoyed it, btw) and became quite fascinated by the character of the Theomach.

I'd like to convert a miniature of him for a warhammer (tabletop fantasy wargame) army, but need to find a good physical description of him first.

Any help you all could give would be quite appreciated!

From the description in the book, he looks a lot like a Tusken Raider, the way his face is wrapped up, except that the eyes, nose, and mouth would be human.

[Hyarion]

That's a very interesting idea, would you say that the Theomach has hair sticking out from beneath his wrappings?

This is what I was thinking of using:

With or without the weapon, I hadn't decided. Obviously, I would sculpt over the face and feet and paint it a different color.

Opinions?

He was wrapped from head to foot in russet cloth: it covered him like a winding sheet. His hands and feet were bound. Even his head was bound, even his eyes, so that only the blunt protrusion of his nose and the hollow of his mouth indicated that his face had any features at all.

I would say no hair. I would also say (now) he looks more like a mummy than anything. I guess the tusken raider idea was wrong.

And remember what he looks like thousands of years later. (I have this part memorized, btw. Heh, I'm a geek!)

Cross-legged on the shelf sat an ancient man in a tattered colorless robe.

His head was half bowed in an attitude of meditation. But his eyes were open. The milky hue of cataracts or blindness filled his orbs. Faint wisps of hair marked the top of his head; a gray stubble emphasized the hollowness of his cheeks. His skin was seamed with age, and his limbs had been starved to the point of emaciation. Yet he radiated an eerie and unfathomable strength.

[wayfriend]

Probably neither are relevant here. He probably wore the wrappings only because Covenant, Jeremiah, and Linden (from the future) were present. And the grizzled version is really ak-Haru, not the Theomach any more.

Who ast ya!!!

I am reading the One Tree right now, and this spoiled something I might have noticed when I got there again.
The description of how the age hangs on ak-haru. Kind of brought me to mind of a certain old lady hanging around Revelstone.

I think your best bet would be to find a nice mummy model and fill in any gaps with Green Stuff. The hands and feet might be tricky though, as they are likely to be unbound on the model. I bet there are a ton of models who could be made to look like the Harrow though!
