The Klingenberg Legion: A Journey Complete (For Now)

It has been a long journey, but the ranks of the undead are finally full. While my updates on Goldmundswelt have been a slow burn over the years, my dedication to the Klingenberg Legion never wavered. Today, I am incredibly proud to share the final results of this Soulblight Gravelords army project.

With these new models integrated into the ranks, I can finally say: The army is finished (at least until Games Workshop releases something I can’t resist).

From Hero of Ghyran to Lord of Darkness

The story of this army is inextricably linked to its master, Valentin von Klingenberg. Once a symbol of courage in the Jade Kingdom of Verdia, Valentin returned from his campaigns against the undead changed. The noble knight who once protected the floating islands of Ghyran died in the shadows of Dol Avar, only to be reborn as a prince of ruin.

Today, the Klingenberg, once a place of knightly tournaments and honor, is a bastion of necrosis. The very land around the mountain withers, and the flora of Ghyran turns to ash in the legion's wake.

The Legion in its Full Glory

After months of painting, I finally sat down to capture the entire legion on camera. There is a unique satisfaction in seeing years of work come together in a single, cohesive force:

A Finished Chapter

For now, the brush is laid to rest. This army represents years of hobbying, lore-building, and painting. Looking at these photos, I’m reminded of why I love this hobby. It’s about the patience, the steady progress over years, and the story that a finished army tells. Thank you for following along with this project on my blog; your interest and support have been a great source of motivation.

I'll leave you with the words Valentin spoke to his bride, Catherine, upon his grim return to the castle, a quote that defines the soul of this legion:

"When I returned home, the smell of the grave still lingered in my hair. But I was not defeated. I was reborn."
