Hello everyone!
I present a cult character from the world of Warhammer today (no, not Age of Sigmar, but a real Hammer) and one of my favorites from this universe.
I painted him again after over 20 years. I chose a classic look, as described in the books about the adventures of Gotrek and Felix. I heartily dislike any shit-green coats and other nonsense. Felix must be Felix :)
Invite!
Felix Jeager came from a wealthy merchant family. As the son of an influential merchant, he lived a carefree and fun life. He studied at the University of Altdorf to become a poet in the future. He was also a good swordsman and loved to duel.
His and Slayer's paths crossed after a series of unfortunate events. During one of the duels, he accidentally killed one of the students. The consequence of this was expulsion from the scholars and disinheritance by his father.
Felix's next prank was to participate in the protest against the window tax. To chase the crowd, the authorities sent the Emperor's personal guard, the Reikland Guard.
Peaceful protest turned into regular riots. Felix was mistakenly taken as one of the demagogues who stirred up the crowd. However, the sudden appearance of the massive dwarf saved Felix from the charge of the guards.
That same evening, in a fit of euphoria and copious amounts of alcohol, Felix swore a blood oath with Gotrek. The oath obligated him to follow the Slayer until his death and record his deeds so that the world would remember his merits. This is how their journey together began...
Felix has long blonde hair, scars from many adventures, and wears a chain shirt and a red coat. Over the years of following Gotrek, Felix become an accomplished swordsman.
His weapon is the Karaghul, the rune sword, a dragon-hilt blade recovered from the fallen Karak Eight Peaks. A relic of the Knights of the Order of Fireheart was forged to slay dragons.
Witam wszystkich!
PomalowaÅem go kolejny raz po przeszÅo 20 latach. PostawiÅem na klasyczny wyglÄ d, zgodnym z opisanym w ksiÄ Å¼kach o przygodach Gotreka i Felixa.
Serdecznie nie podobajÄ mi siÄ jakieÅ sraczkowato-zielone pÅaszcze i inne nonsensy.
Felix to musi byÄ Felix :)
Zapraszam!
Felix Jeager pochodziÅ z bogatej kupieckiej rodziny. Jako syn wpÅywowego kupca prowadziÅ beztroskie i rozrywkowe życie. StudiowaÅ na Uniwersytecie w Altdorfie by w przyszÅoÅci staÄ siÄ poetÄ . ByÅ też niezgorszym szermierzem i uwielbiaÅ siÄ pojedynkowaÄ.
Drogi jego i ZabĆ³jcy skrzyżowaÅy siÄ po serii niefortunnych zdarzeÅ. Podczas jednego z pojedynkĆ³w przypadkowo doprowadziÅ do Åmierci jednego ze studentĆ³w. KonsekwencjÄ tego byÅo wydalenie z uczeni i wydziedziczenie przez ojca.
NastÄpnym wybrykiem Felixa byÅ udziaÅ w proteÅcie przeciwko podatku od okien. Do rozgonienia tÅumu wÅadze wysÅaÅy osobistÄ straż Imperatora GwardiÄ Reiklandu.
Pokojowy protest zamieniÅ siÄ w regularne zamieszki. Felix omyÅkowo zostaÅ wziÄty za jednego z demagogĆ³w podburzajÄ cych tÅum. Jednak nagÅe pojawienie siÄ masywnego krasnoluda uratowaÅo Felixa przed szarÅ¼Ä gwardzistĆ³w.
Tego samego wieczora w przypÅywie euforii i sporej iloÅci alkoholu Felix zÅożyÅ Gotrekowi przysiÄgÄ krwi. PrzysiÄga zobowiÄ zywaÅa go do podÄ Å¼ania za ZabĆ³jcÄ aż do jego Åmierci i spisania jego czynĆ³w, by Åwiat zapamiÄtaÅ jego zasÅugi. Tak rozpoczÄÅa siÄ ich wspĆ³lna podrĆ³Å¼...
Felix ma dÅugie blond wÅosy, blizny po naprawdÄ wielu przygodach, odziany jest natomiast w koszulÄ kolczÄ i czerwony pÅaszcz. Przez lata podÄ Å¼ania za Gotrekiem, Felix staÅ siÄ znakomitym szermierzem.
Jego broniÄ jest runiczny miecz Karaghul, ostrze ze smoczÄ rÄkojeÅciÄ odzyskane z upadÅego Karak Osiem SzczytĆ³w. Relikt Rycerzy Zakonu Ognistego Serca, zostaÅ wykuty w celu zabijania smokĆ³w.
