Hobbleshanks, Giant Guild Mage
Added 2022-01-05 17:40:25 +0000 UTCThis was the first unit I rolled up using the random unit tables (which we added to the OpenTactics book a couple of days back), and it was just sort of too perfect, so I felt compelled to sculpt the character immediately afterward. Hobbleshanks was initially going to have long, curly hair flowing out from under a helmet, but then it hit me that I've been working toward a new Guild Mage range lately and, well, of course they would accept a giant into their membership, so he took the hooded cowl instead (enchanted to make a guild member's face invisible as per the standard, so there's that).
The model will require supports, and is in the rewards folder now for you $5+ patrons. (New reward links will be going out really soon so those of you who signed up in December can expect access shortly.) Not 100% sure what we'll be doing with these guild mages yet. There's a good chance that we'll release them for free as part of a starter set for OpenTactics (which, btw, is available in soft-release form right now in case you missed it last night). Just gotta think about a good pre-built faction to throw at them. Or maybe they'll get a little supplement of their own, with new material and lore? Tough to say right at the moment. Still figuring out how we want to press forward with all of that.
