Calentar Eldalon Warlock Rodyn Dolenhoth
Rodyn
tends to feel a bit like a third wheel around his fellow Warlocks,
and is prone to shadowing the Farseer Tirhae. Some say he's
hoping to reap the rewards of Suletur's vast knowledge; some say he
has a crush on him, or that he has some sort of bizarre father image fixation.
Bootlicker
is a more accurate term, and if there's a way he can see to make himself
seem the more loyal of the Warlock Guard, he'll find it.
Dolenhoth's not above besmirching the good name of his squadmates,
and it's a darn good thing that his commander knows him well enough
to ignore his petty attempts to undermine Thalion and Rison.
Because
of his tendency to "not play well with others" Rodyn
is rarely entrusted with missions of any major import. That's
really a shame, though....'cause despite his tendency for brown
nosing he's a good shot, and he's hoping to get a chance to prove it...Soon!
About
the Miniature:
Oh
that plume, that lovely plume. I really wish there were a way
to make it less static, but there's only so much that can be done
with an object made of solid metal. I've consistently found the metal
models more difficult to paint than the plastic ones.
I
love the sense of motion conveyed in Rodyn's pose. I would
have loved to do a pic of him with the wind whipping the environment
around him - oh well.
These
guys have been the hardest to paint of all my models, so far, and if
Jennifer hadn't rescued me from my globby, too thick,
paint attempts, they'd still be sitting forlornly on my workroom
table, daring my sense of competence, which wavered in their very presence. |
About
the Army Card:
Rodyn
hasn't had much chance to show his worth, as yet. He's got a
long range weapon in that singing spear that I'm itching to try.
Part
of the error I've made in playing my Warlocks was the false concept
that I could split them up, individually instead of using them as
a squad, something I was trying to do to scatter my targets and
resources more effectively.
It
hasn't worked very well, anyway....so back to the drawing board.
Determining which spells to use, and the strategy of when to use them
is a constant struggle for me to wrap my mind around.
Much
like when I play Go with Jennifer.....even if I grasp the rules, the
way to utilize them is still beyond me.
Fortunately
the answer to: "Are we having fun yet?" Has
remained a resounding "YES!"

Dolenhoth's Proudest Moment(s):
Waiting
to fulfill his potential, at present. |
