While I own all the currently-released Circle Orboros Warlocks, only a few are fully painted, or nearly so. Morvahna, Mohsar, Kromac, Cassius & eBaldur are all in various states of completion (or not). Even though I own him, I've yet to try out Kromac, and I've only used Cassius and Mohsar a scant handful of times. I'm looking to try playing them more, soon. As I get the others painted, I'll eventually start putting them up here, as well.
Baldur the Stonecleaver
Baldur's a favorite of mine, for two reasons - One, he's the first Hordes miniature I painted, originally picked out by a friend to represent his Dwarven Druid in our Pathfinder game. It was also an intentionally underhandedly sneaky method my friend used to get me interested in Hordes... and it worked.
The OTHER reason I like Baldur is that he's one of the few Circle characters who isn't a complete and utter jerk in the fiction. :)
Kaya the Wildborne
Kaya is probably my favorite character in the Circle Orboros fiction (for those not familiar with the Iron Kingdoms fiction, Kaya is Baldur's former student). Given my own appreciation of wolves, it was hard not to gravitate to her character. Kaya was the second miniature I painted in the Hordes line. Playwise, she doesn't see much play these days. Occasionally I pull her out for small points games or for games with new players at the local store.
Kaya the Moonhunter + Laris
This Epic incarnation of Kaya is probably my favorite caster to play in the game, and she's played a lot better for me than her Primal counterpart. Her Wolf companion, Laris, in these pictures is still a work-in-progress, something I really need to finish up, one of these days...
Krueger the Stormwrath
When it comes to frying infantry, no one does it better than Krueger. He works well for me, and I generally tend to play him against infantry-heavy factions... particularly Menoth and oftentimes, Cryx. Being able to drop multiple zones of electrical death on his feat turn is always fun. Krueger here is still a nearly-finished WIP - I really want to freehand some sort of design or sigil on his cloak.
Krueger the Stormlord
I've only used Krueger's Epic incarnation a small number of times, but he's still fun, if not a bit more tricky for me to run. I'm getting better at putting his feat and telekinesis spell to better use. I can't wait to add a Scarsfell Griffon to his battlegroup. This model is also still a WIP - I'm pleased that I seem to have painted him without the "Eek! A mouse!" expression the PP studio model is rather known for.
Krueger's 'lightning' is removable, made from brass rod and with a small bit of steel wire twisted around it. It'll be eventually primed and painted (either blue or green, not sure yet) - I'm debating whether or not to apply OSL to this model. It would be appropriate, but we'll see. His base is made from some stacked cork, to better help with his 'flying' pose.
Grayle the Farstrider
The newest warlock to be released in Hordes: Domination, Grayle has quickly become another favorite caster of mine, alongside eKaya. I love the model's name, look, artwork and backstory. Not to mention, he's great fun to play. I've watched him tear single-handedly through a unit of Iron Fang Pikemen - no small feat! - as well as tear into larger models as well. Like Krueger, I can't wait to add a Scarsfell Griffon to his battlegroup, either.
