My Legion army runs a ton of beasts, so I needed two Forsaken to keep all that fury under control.

However, I have the same problem with the Forsaken model as I have with the Succubus– my Legion army’s elf ladies are refined and delicate, while the stock Forsaken model is a snarling hell-beast covered in spines and with wings for arms. This may be okay for your average Legion force, but for Vayl’s school of dragon handling, it simply will not do.

Unlike the Succubus, however, I did not solve the Forsaken Problem with months of sculpting and casting. Rather, I spent four days demonstrating the infallibility of my personal motto:

There does not exist a problem that cannot be solved with the application of more Gobbers.

My Legion army has two Carniveans. I wanted to make them easy to differentiate, so I modded one to reflect his animus– a Spiny Growth Carnivean. The conversion was done here (scroll way down), and I finally painted it last week to be ready for Templecon.

The Succubus project began for me in July of 2012 when I began the first sketches of my alternate Legion spellcaster, and the journey from those initial scribblings to where I am now has been enormously educational for me. She is flat-out the best sculpture I’ve ever made, and I learned a lot about the casting process as I worked through it for the first time.

And now, I have brought the adventure to a close, as the Succubus has finally been added to the Legion army I initially intended her to join.

As it turns out, painting her was a bit of a struggle, as she’s based on the scheme of my very first Legion model, and I haven’t repeated that exact scheme in over a year and a half. So bear with me today as I try desperately to remember how I mixed a particular wash in 2011!
