Tasked with the researching of draconic lore, Lich Lord Venethrax is supremely well-suited to root out and destroy the Dragonfather’s dark progeny. Venethrax has dedicated his immortal existence to Toruk’s final war and is prepared to consume every blighted creature in charnel flames and blood. His mighty halberd, Wyrmbane, has dismembered countless draconic creations, and the lich lord’s very presence corrodes the world around him. That he now steps forth from Cryx is a dire portent, for it heralds the coming of war between the dragons.

Love the sculpt , painting not so much

I don't even play Cryx but I'll probably buy this model just because of how awesome it is.

@Luna, whats wrong with the painting? It's right on par for how Cryx should be

Hmm. His armor style is very similar to the Retribution look. Makes me wonder what the rest of his story is.

I really like the model but i thought for a second it was something for Circle due to the painting.

Looks awesome! I love how you have done the green (that's how necrons are supposed to look).

haha WOW....

Ah , the majority of the Cryx paint job i have seen , seem to be emitting a green glow from within.
This guy just looks like he is some green hippy with green armor.

*PS Im not looking for trouble , and i certainly CANNOT paint better or even close....

Oops. Maybe that's not your painting (just looked at your sig and thought maybe you liked green...then I realized this is in the rumours section so I guess it's not yours).

Either way I'm a fan.

Ooh, I like that...

I'm not terribly impressed, maybe it's the paint job.

I think it makes a much better necron lord on foot model than GW's.

Not at all what I was expecting. He looks like a combination of Bane Knights and the Retribution 'jacks. Very interesting and good.

As usual, the weapon is just a bit weird. The 3D view shows something coming off his back that looks a bit strange, too.

But overall, the model is pretty neat.

I saw that too. They're smokestacks from his armor, and there's 2 sets of 2 stacks. Standard Warcaster stuff, but yeah, weird picture.

Great Muwhahahahahah pose.

It's official, it's no longer Pauldronmachine or Infantrymachine it's: Smokestackmachine

Oh glory be, that's a strange smokestack. How...reverse suggestive.

thats a very good looking model and paintjob, the latest batch of WM characters look great if you ask me... may have to step out of my GW box one of these days and paint up something new!

YEah - the smokestacks are the weirdest on this model. Maybe should have them pointed vertically... not horizontal..... just seems... Feora like! lolllolol.

He seems pretty tall too.

I love it. Definite purchase for me.

First Wm mini that I actually like the look of!

That is one wild awesome mini! I'd not have gone with the Tarzan pose, but awesome elements there!

Very sweet. For some reason I'm really digging the feet.

"I'm going to cut your head off with my nasty sword, eat your soul, then kick you in the balls with BLADE FEET!!!!"

He will make a great lich lord for D&D, though.

Maybe that'll be a part of his...feat.

Lich Lord Venethrax tastes good with Dim Sum.

Hidden with his phylactery is the secret list of 7 herbs and spices.

Why is the "halberd" short-hafted?

Because it's a glaive, not a halberd.
