Over the last couple years I have been steadily (more or less) working towards building up the Empire side of the 'Slaughter at Volganof' in the BRB (it's a 'legendary' battle with a huge chaos invasion attacking an Empire city and the Reiksguard charging in at the 11th hour. probably my favorite part in the entire BRB). I am still a couple hundred figs away from completing the army but, as they say around Volganof "Der Weg ist das Ziel".
One of the main characters in that battle is Vassili von Raukov, son of the Elector count Valmir von Raukov. He is a capable administrator whose organizational skill in the months before that fateful battle gave the Empire a fighting chance according to some. Others see him as a cowardly drunk who wallowed about and tried to avoid the fighting. Maybe he is both? And, nobody claims he is much of a fighter. In the game he is pretty much just a liability. A guy with swordsman stats who gives up victory points if he gets killed. He 'leads' a unit of halberdiers, the Scarlet Curs.
I've painted up two models that I think could represent Vassili and now I will ask the internet to vote for their favorite Vassili. The other model will become the poor nameless unit champion, most likely going down in a challenge against some chaos guy in a feeble attempt to keep Vassili alive. The warhammer world is a harsh place indeed.
wait, what's this
nevermind, just a photobombing Reaper Bones griffin. let's carry on
and lastly, to show how they fit into the (as of yet unfinished) unit
So, who is it going to be? Portly Vassili on the left or lanky Vassili on the right? Your vote counts (and no, there is no fancy poll. you will have to post the old fashioned way).
