Oops. I definitely hit a wall and missed a few days there, sorry about that.
Today's addition feels a bit like it straddles the line between the Lich and the Demi-Lich. The Lich is an ancient wizard who has used magic to grant himself a sort of immortality but in comparison to many other immortal creatures the Lich's immortality is a bit cheap and second-rate. Although Liches are extremely powerful spell-casters they are also undead and not even vaguely human anymore.
Liches have long been a staple high-level boss monster in D&D due to the fact that even if they are completely destroyed, if the vessel they have placed their soul in is still intact they can remake themselves and return to torment their 'destroyers'. They are an easy go to for a recurring villain in any campaign.
For my Lich I've gone a bit outside the box and used Games Workshop's new Wraith model. Truthfully this model is a bit more ghosty and insubstantial than a traditional Lich but I really like the skull and general feeling of malevolence this figure projects.
