Aekold Helbrass

Aekold Helbrass, Champion of Tzeentch, hears a most unusual gift - the gift that is known as the Breath of Life. Where Aekold walks the grass springs green and meadow flowers blossom. When he walks upon desert sands and stony rocks the land bursts into life as he passes.

Any living thing he touches springs into new and vigorous growth. The long-dead wood of doors and staves takes root upon his touch. His touch can restore to health creatures that are upon the threshold of death, for such is the power of the Breath of Life. His touch is as indiscriminate as it is potent, behind him he leaves a trail of new life and everything he touches is affected.

While life giving is the gift of Aekold, he slays his opponents without pity or care for their life, for he knows all life is but an endless dance of change, dictated by Tzeentch, the Master of Fate.





Aekold was a specialcharacter for Chaos in Warhammer 4th & 5th edition, he also got unofficial rules in 6th edition. He was last seen fighting Gotrek & Felix in the end times.




I painted this model back in 1998, its one of my favorite models ever released by GW & I was a big fan of his rules as well, one of few special characters I used frequently.

I won 1st place in a young bloods painting competition back in 1999 with this model. Last year I decided to paint him up once again, opting for a more rainbow coloured look:
