Description

*Zoom in or you miss a load of detail ;)*

This is the next RPG character. This time an NPC.
The humans are led by the Presence Church and they constract these huge, hulking battle golems. They are about 2.8 m tall and a templar is implanted inside of it and it is permanent. Same as the Dreadnaughts in Warhammer 40k ^^
Just in this case, the speciment don't need to be mortally injured. The biggest honour in a templar's life is when he is choosed to "pilot" one of these huge exoskeletons.
Though, must note why they are NPC: after a templar impanted into a battle golem's armour, he looses his mind completely and only acts if they are told to do so. They are more than a mindless zombies than humans after getting in an armour of a Battle Golem xD


There is a Cicero Quote on the sword:
"Mors terribilis iis,quorum cum vita omnia extinguuntur, non iis quorum laus emori non potest."
In english:
"Death is only feared by those whos life ends with death, but not by those who's glorious name is immortal."
I think this is a fitting quote on a sword ;)

On the 2 knees there is anotehr quote:
"Nolite timere eos, qui occindunt corpus, animam autem non possunt occidere."
In English:
"Don't fear those who can kill one's body, but can't kill one's soul."
These can be read on the knees, slpitted in two parts :3
