Not actually part of the Vigilant Brotherhood Spearhead... but just a character I happened to be working on along with all the other Anvils of the Heldenhammer.
Knight-Questor Odysseus Blackcloud
As a Knight-Questor, he only nominally is a member of the Anvils of the Heldenhammer and, for the most part, just goes off on quests and adventures of his own, often charged with quests by Sigmar himself!
As an Anvil of the Heldenhammer, Odyseus Blackcloud, lived during the Age of Myth, died in battle against the forces of Chaos and went off to live out his eternal afterlife in an underworld... until Sigmar came for him, snatched up his soul and reforged him into a Stormcast Eternal. Anvil of the Heldenhammers in general are a brooding, dour lot... but Odyseus is and exceptionally brooding, excessively dour fellow. He does not thank Sigmar for this second eternal life of servitude and suffering and death and reforging. He does it. But he doesn't like it. A small sliver of hope resides in him that after enough successful quests, Sigmar might release him from his service and return him to the underworld from whence he was captured... but simultaneously knows this is impossible and should Sigmar release him, Nagash would punish him far worse...
The model is Severin Stealheert - from Steelheart's Champions (a Warhammer Underworlds warband of which I've had several over time...) Steelheart, I'm pretty sure, was meant to be a Liberator Prime - the leader of a group of Liberators... back when some Liberators carried things other than BFHs for their weapons... I'm using the other two as Liberators, but thought this big brute with the great sword striking a pose looked more like he could be a Knight-Questor.
