Showcase: Theodore Bruckner and Reaper


Theodore Bruckner is one of those models that I have for years always wanted to paint but never really got round to doing. Finally I decided that over the Christmas holidays whilst my wife was away visiting her parents and all was quiet I would give him a go. First of all the model of Theodore himself is considerably larger than a normal figure of a standard Empire troop. The Forge World Throne of Chaos book stated him as a giant. And the model of him certainly is. I would say he is more the size of a Chaos Lord. I liked the model a lot and it was a fun one to work on. I tried to stick to a similar style in that of the illustrations of him in Throne of Chaos. And opted to use a very minimal color palette. What do you all think? Have any of you used him in a game?

  1. I really like that model, and was eyeing it up for my Empire army.
    How much bigger is he compared to a normal Empire soldier? Have you got a comparison pic?

    1. Hey Courtney, I dont have any comparison photos at hand. But I would say Theodore on foot is about the same size as a Chaos Lord. In human height he would be pushing close to 7ft. Hope that helps.

  2. Awesome work on the paint job man! I love muted, more realistic work with these kind of minis, makes them really come to life.

  3. That Mourngal is amazing!

    DO you varnish at all before adding the gloss parts?
