http://privateerpress.com/files/imagecache/1up/products/Dr-Arkadius.png
Dr. Arkadius is a skilled surgeon and scientist with an obsession for the manipulation and development of life. Constantly striving to create ever more terrible warbeasts, strengthening their bodies, making them more aggressive, and healing their wounds in battle. Dr. Arkadius can also turn his skills upon his enemies, using his combat syringe to inject potent serums designed to scramble a target?s higher brain functions or even usurp control of its body.

No indication which pact/s he works for.

[Stomphoof]

Hilariously we both posted at the SAME TIME W@L

[Writer@Large]

No ... you beat me by one minute ... :p

[zengoth]

Two words: COMBAT SYRINGE!!! Great looking model...

[Writer@Large]

Two words: COMBAT SYRINGE!!!
It's like what every syringe looks like in the worst nightmares of a four-year-old with physician's issues.

--W@L

[Dino-Czar]

Oh hell yeah.

PIGS!

[DarkLegacy]

Ok, he looks awesome. Deviously awesome.

[Sevwall]

Pacts he works for:

Well, he doesn't look like he has amphibious ;)

[FranzGrenstein]

It's Dr Moreau.

[DarkLegacy]

He looks sorta elven...

[Rotokultaxe]

Cool mini, I guess. But I must admit I'm a bit disappointed: the artwork was awesome, and that awesomeness isn't completely translated in the model.

[Stomphoof]

As I said, dude has a pimp collar. Thats hilariously awesome.

[Writer@Large]

Pacts he works for:

Well, he doesn't look like he has amphibious ;)
You never know; he could be an accomplished swimmer. ;)

[AJ the Ronin]

I'm compleatly out of the loop with Hordes but...what factions will work?

[katadder]

ok thats just weird. not something I will be getting

[zombie-a-go-go]

Anyone want to hook the workbound up with a rehost pic?

[Draekon Darkstorm]

Apparently, I'm missing my post, I guess I'll say that I think he looks like a fun caster to play. I like the evil scientist look he has.

Draekon

[Chip]

Huh, not what I was expecting. I was gearing up for some crazy hair, a mad mixture of Doc Brown and Stryker.

Still, a nice mini. If I hadn't settled on Gatormen, that'd be cool :)

[zombie-a-go-go]

Thanks, spud. Appreciated.

I see that he and Master Holt buy their longcoats from the same manufacturer.

His rules will determine whether or not I keep my Farrow stuff or trade it for more Legion. Carver gets real old real fast.

[relasine]

Here comes Dr. Feelgood. :)

[Stomphoof]

Looks like mine and W@L post got merged. I AM AT THE TOP MWHAHAHAHA *evil*

Also, I will prolly stick to Lord Carver for the pigs as Arcadias looks...strange to me :P

[tonyzahn]

I think he looks AWESOME!

[Writer@Large]

Looks like mine and W@L post got merged. I AM AT THE TOP MWHAHAHAHA *evil*
<shakes the Angry Fist> STOMPHOOOOOOFFFFF! :Undead:

[Turbulence]

He's a warlock? I thought he was supposed to be a solo.

[steeldragon]

Hopefully he will play with more things than pigs... :)

I really like the model, but not too fond on the farrow units... maybe he is also a merc and I can do my happy dance right now (you can always hope)

Andres

[Khador247]

I think he looks AWESOME!

...and I concur. Great model.

[ozmo]

Looks very similar to some of the Resurrectionist models in Malifaux.
He does look pretty darn cool.

[paradogmatic]

Somehow his backpack is both cool and reminds me of a Slushee dispenser at the same time. SNO-CONES for all the pigs!

He also has a cousin in Fabius Bile ( from 40k )

[sanj]

I don't think the sculpt is as amazing as the artwork but it's still badass.

That'll do pig, that'll do.

[Demeritus]

He kinda reminds me of Nemo but he has a cool sculpt.

[Cardboard]

"I'm telling you Carver, we've got to get this War Hog up to 88! We need to go back... TO THE FUTURE!"

[simon sez]

I get a feeling Arkadius' thoughts are that no matter how hard pig tries or how many innocents it disembowels, that'll never do...

[Lee T]

He should be ready to be sued by the Cryxian Empire for patent infringement, the three tubes combat syringe was first developed by our proud inventive necrotechs.

[Mod_Faultie]

I like, and can't wait to get him for my piggies!

[I-am-robot]

PLEASE let him take Cephalyx in his Theme List!

[Mnkylord]

Oh man, I LOVE this guy! He has a lot of character to him. Love the sculpt! I may purchase the model just to HAVE it, even if I may never field him! :P

[Jolly Angus]

I think the model turned out fantastic, very unique and characterful.

[FearLord]

He's a warlock? I thought he was supposed to be a solo.

You've been under a rock since Comic Con then?;)

Love this guy. Love the look of the model, love the art, love the freaking idea of him - thank the lord I've decided to play the pigs because I need this guy!

[Mosk]

I keep thinking the following phrase spoken in a mario accent (you know Mario bros)

"BEND OVER!"

Any ways I will be picking this fig up for my Farrow, mainly so I can have another caster to play with.

[Stomphoof]

<shakes the Angry Fist> STOMPHOOOOOOFFFFF! :Undead:

You shall never defeat me W@L! NEVA! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA <thunder crash and lightning flash!>

[EpicAstinos]

he is also a merc and I can do my happy dance right now (you can always hope)

Andres
That'd be cool, but I can't really see him injecting chemicals into Warjacks. I see him trying, snapping the tip off of his needle, and then the camera zooms in on his sad face to see his eyes well up and shed a single tear.

[SpiralingCadaver]

Well, if arkadius has good rules, i'm joining the farrow. Carver has a nice set of rules, but I didn't really like the mini. However, I do love the warhog (along with everyone else, it seems)

[Loveless]

Nice model - I just see him giddily running around the battlefield, injecting targets with whatever and eagerly taking notes as to the reaction.

He's Fabulous Bill - the delightful version of Fabius Bile.

[One Thousand Eyes]

Nice model! That combat injector is so kick a$$!

[EpicAstinos]

Nice model - I just see him giddily running around the battlefield, injecting targets with whatever and eagerly taking notes as to the reaction.

Paint him up the right way and he could really be "Fabulouth." (Darn limited alphabet hindering proper phonetic spelling of the lisp.)

[Humeriousdiscord]

http://www.captainspud.com/stuff/Dr-Arkadius.png

Hmm... what is his left hand doing? If you look at the 360 pic it looks like he is holding something invisible, perhaps choking all the happiness out of life? I think that its time to sculpt in a tasty cold brew or some coffee for him to be holding.

[Saerko]

He's like Nemo's evil twin. I love it.

[Verjigorm]

He needs to pall up with Gorman.

[One Thousand Eyes]

Hmm... what is his left hand doing? If you look at the 360 pic it looks like he is holding something invisible, perhaps choking all the happiness out of life? I think that its time to sculpt in a tasty cold brew or some coffee for him to be holding.

He is holding the plans to the flux capacitor so he can go back to the future!

[Cloud-Gatherer]

He has almost exactly the same appearance and general description as Dr. Animo from Ben 10. :D

[Exemplar's_Gaze]

I now want to build a crazy mother f***er list.

Arkadius will lead it cackling to himself, Gorman will run around throwing rust bombs, and the Butcher will accompany an army of Doom Reavers murdering everything in sight.

[Whimper]

I don't mind the sculpt, and haven't seen the art yet. But I think it was a mistake to choose that colour for his injector-fluid. The turquoise-glow looks far too much like the colour used for storm-anything, arc-nodes, etcetera. From afar, it looks like he's got a syringe full of magic lightning.

[jandrese]

If someone was really good with tiny detail, they could write on his palm:

1. Subjugate farrow for unholy experiments
2. Find supplier willing to manufacture round gun barrels
3. Pick up milk

[komodokeeper]

" From afar, it looks like he's got a syringe full of magic lightning."-Whimper

and that's a problem?... :)

[simon sez]

4. transmogrify milk into all-consuming gelatinous blob.

[Poise]

Awesome looking model! Can't wait to see his rules.

[MrChomperz]

Hmm... what is his left hand doing? If you look at the 360 pic it looks like he is holding something invisible, perhaps choking all the happiness out of life? I think that its time to sculpt in a tasty cold brew or some coffee for him to be holding.

Genius. I have molded the coffee cup before and it turn out fantastic. we could even paint creamer into one of his syringe canisters. I may give him an evil mustache too!

I hope he comes with another dmg buff. maybe that str and spd buff from pMourgoul.

[steeldragon]

That'd be cool, but I can't really see him injecting chemicals into Warjacks. I see him trying, snapping the tip off of his needle, and then the camera zooms in on his sad face to see his eyes well up and shed a single tear.

The merc rule is different to the Warlock rule... he should still be able to take beasts (as per the lesser warlocks rules)

Andres

[DevonV]

Huh, not what I was expecting. I was gearing up for some crazy hair, a mad mixture of Doc Brown and Stryker.

Still, a nice mini. If I hadn't settled on Gatormen, that'd be cool :)

Look closely at the model. Lex Luthor now walks the world of Caen. It's only a matter of time before he is President of a Menite Cygnar and manipulating Turok into doing his bidding.

[Dino-Czar]

Look closely at the model. Lex Luthor now walks the world of Immoren. It's only a matter of time before he is President of a Menite Cygnar and manipulating Turok into doing his bidding.

You know... you're right. My pigs will now be painted green with purple accents. Only Luthor (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a5/Luthor544.PNG), and Annex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annex_(comics)) and I understand the coolness factor of the green/purple super-suit. At least until my pigs start carving up all the army mans...in the world!!!

[butcherofsalisbury]

Can't wait to have this model and fill those pipes and tubes with glowing green goo and in the spare hand put in an iPod and just have him as my own proof that even evil mad scientists need some "me time"

[Bravoure]

What's the release date for this guy? Is he joining Croctober or does he get his own special month? All those syringes are perfect for turkey day. I freakin LOVE this model

[EpicAstinos]

He needs to pal up with Gorman.
"Wait, you mean you order from Gorten's Glassblowing too? I should have known; isn't his work just perfect for volatile compounds?"

They probably get their goggles from the same craftsman Stryker orders from.

[Amarel]

Quite a nice fig really, certainly well sculpted, but the initial conceit has me thinking of Fabius Bile (from, y'know, that other one) a little too much.

[i_like_tool]

Love...the model


Borka has his Cod piece

The good Doctor has a Pimp collar

Seems like a match made in heaven

[CT GAMER]

I love the "mad scientist meets -IK" vibe. So yeah he is sort of the IK version of Fabius Bile, but is that really a bad thing? Fabius was cool as hell and so is this guy.

I think a white coat and shiny black rubber gloves are in order...

[JJMJester]

Anyone else here play Team Fortress 2?
Because all I'm hearing in my head is Lord Cleaver yelling "MEDIC!" in a russian accent.:D

[Snarl]

"Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a pig farmer!"

The paint job is great, and the sculpt is good (the coffee cup hand is a bit odd).

[Pszito]

YAY!!! The new legion warlo.... oh wait, nope. ;-P

But seriously, what a great sculpt! Something kind of different but several notes of the familiarity. I'm excited to see how this guy rolls. Who/what is he going to leach from?!? ... could be very, very interesting. :mad cackle into the distant stormy skies:

[Lee T]

However, I do love the warhog (along with everyone else, it seems)

Then I'll be the one sulking in his corner not liking the warhog :) .

[Cloud-Gatherer]

Who/what is he going to leach from?!? ... could be very, very interesting. :mad cackle into the distant stormy skies:

Minion Warbeasts - so I'm gonna guess War Hogs, Gun Boars, maybe Blackhide Wrastlers, and probably Ironhide Spitters, for starters.

[Jake the Dog]

Now pigs looks just as interesting as Crocs...damn you PP!!!

[CeltKhan]

Ironhides weren't specified as Minion; they could very well be Circle.

[relasine]

Who/what is he going to leach from?!?
Based on the fact that he's responsible for creating the Gun Boar and War Hog, I'd venture them.

[DoktorVivi]

He's like the warlock version of Gorman. Awesome. Even if I wasn't interested in starting a minions army I'd have to pick this guy up.

[Szary]

Awesome model. It smells like beast warlock with some nicely debuffs. Definitely looking forward to get him.

[Steam_Bird]

Ok now I think he might be amphibious, look close by his face. Does that not look like a snorkel? Maybe just a gas mask but who knows he might just run with gators! :D

[Malarowski]

Very nice. Like him a lot.

[Chip]

If someone was really good with tiny detail, they could write on his palm:

1. Subjugate farrow for unholy experiments
2. Find supplier willing to manufacture round gun barrels
3. Pick up milk

That reminds me of my old Cobra Commander toy that had a notebook in his briefcase that had "THINGS TO DO - Pick up dry cleaning, CONQUER THE WORLD!" on it. I may have to do that now :p

[Alviaran]

Fabius Bile has invaded the Iron Kingdoms! ;)

He's a good looking model, but not really my thing. Just waiting for my second minion lock.

[Necra-Chi]

Sweet mini. Why does he work for pigs? Is he the one responsible for the warhog?

[dicegod]

Sweet mini. Why does he work for pigs? Is he the one responsible for the warhog?


Yes. And the gunboar.

[hausdorff space]

WHy do so many people not seem to know who he is?
(looking at the posts in the Troll forums, saying "Yay a new solo", and the thread in PoM)

[Necra-Chi]

He looks like an elf. Is there a possibility that he is a retribution Ally?

theCsharian, I blame it on Force books. Everybody doesn't know everything anymore. Also I don't buy No Quarter (it covers too mnay topics I have no interest in now) and I don't go to big conventions in America.

[hausdorff space]

He looks like an elf. Is there a possibility that he is a retribution Ally?One can only hope.

[Necra-Chi]

One can only hope.

Well it would make for some really interesting looking armies. Warlock, warbeasts, and retribution infantry and solos.

[bouncymischa]

He looks like an elf. Is there a possibility that he is a retribution Ally?


My guess is that he's just been practicing some plastic surgery on himself, for that cool elf look.

[steeldragon]

My guess is that he's just been practicing some plastic surgery on himself, for that cool elf look.

He can always load the syringes with botox...

Andres

[Darth Murphy]

still not bethayne and balphagore . . . :p

[Crucien]

Is that a Slurm dispenser on his back?

Mmmm...Slurm...

:D

[Crucien]

still not bethayne and balphagore . . . :p

Or Destors or Bombadiers

:p

[Cloud-Gatherer]

Ironhides weren't specified as Minion; they could very well be Circle.

They could, sure. I did say "probably." I think Minion is more likely, though.

[WhiteDwarf1000]

He looks sorta elven...

I was also thinking Elven with him being so tall and his head resembles Hylas Lyoros from the IKRPG line (ex. below). He also sports that flashy turquoise magic color that Iosans are so found of. Has his race been confirmed yet?

http://privateerpress.com/files/products/iron-kingdoms/hyls-lyoros-iosan-fighter.png

[EpicAstinos]

His ears are round. I noticed they were bigger and checked on the 360 view. He may just have the creepy longer lobe paired with monkey ears making it more noticeable. His bone structure is pretty Elven, though, isn't it... Half elf? But the Iosians are jingoistic and borderline racist. /shrug. Artistic license.

[SalsaShark]

I hadn't noticed the coffee cup had till now. Seems weird for it to be in that pose. Dig it otherwise.

[Antigonus]

YAY!!! The new legion warlo.... oh wait, nope. ;-P

I was wondering how long this thread would go before someone mentioned her.....

[Verjigorm]

They probably get their goggles from the same craftsman Stryker orders from.

In a roundabout way: Gorman uses his oil bomb to blind stryker, and while Stryker is taking off hims goggles to clean them, Gorman nicks the goggles. It's not the most efficient way of acquiring goggles, but it's fun, tricksy and dangerous. It helps Gorman "keep'is'hand in", so to speak. He lives Dangerously.

[sanj]

I hadn't noticed the coffee cup had till now. Seems weird for it to be in that pose. Dig it otherwise.

I'm pretty sure the left, coffe cup hand, is going to be cast as a separate piece.
It should look better with the palm facing upwards, so it looks like he's casting something, similar to the artwork.
