Recommended music: The Bangles – Hazy Shade of Winter
This #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re looking around and finding a hazy shade of winter with The Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions Clavian!
While the Mythic Legions All Stars 6 wave introduced new knights, a horse, accessories, and new skeletons, it also reissued older skeletons, such as Clavian. If you thought that this skeleton raider is just a skeleton legion builder with red bones, well, you’re mostly right.
According to the character’s backstory, Clavian differs from other resurrected skeleton soldiers because he and his crimson cohorts are reborn through lethal blood-infused magic. This sorcery grants them enhanced strength and the ability to remove their own bone limbs, wield them as weapons, and repeatedly regrow them like a starfish.
Clavian was part of the initial Kickstarter wave and has now returned a decade later. I initially chose not to purchase this figure, but acquiring Pelvicus and his red skull prompted me to seek an entirely red skeleton for my collection. Although I waited several years between pre-order and delivery this past summer, the figure proved to be worth the wait.
Overall, Clavian is a simple figure, but the scarlet skull and bones really stand out in the display. His shield is a dull red, which I prefer because bright red might have looked tacky or cheap. The rusty sword is another nice detail, making the accessory look more realistic and intimidating.
