Polyxena, Spear of Helios

Although the relationship between Polyxena and the god Helios is unknown, those that have met the warrior will tell you that she surely cannot be entirely human.

She is taller than most men, and slender with it, which alone makes her stand out amongst the warbands she is hired by.  But the most striking thing is the shield and ornate spear that she carries - both of which glow with the light of the sun itself.  The blade of the spear sears flesh with every strike, and her shield blinds those she fights against.

Auxilia - Demigod
+1 Agility
Heavy Armour
Eldritch Weapon - Spear (Enchanted, Flaming)
Mystic Shield (Applies permanent Light of Sol, but does not increase Presence of friendly models within 12")
Pts: 69
Stats/Retainer are as Broken Legions Rulebook


This miniature is from Mierce Miniatures Atalantes range.  She was originally planned to lead my Argonauts warband, but I changed that up a little as she stood out just a tad too much.  Given that she is taller and more slender than all the other miniatures for Broken Legions I decided she could become a Demigod from the Auxilia options - which I view as flexible to represent true Demigods and heroic individuals that are blessed (or cursed?) with abilities beyond that of normal humans.  I gave her bespoke wargear to suit the background/paint of the miniature.
