The Tyrant of Badab

Here’s the big man himself.

I forgot to take size comparison photos again, but you can kinda see how big he is just based on the fact he’s on a 40mm base. The cloak looks a lot worse than it does in the flesh. I’m fairly pleased with how the Hamadrya turned out, a little larger than I wanted but the positioning and pose are spot on how I wanted him. The plastic torso on the Hamadrya came from a Warhammer Zombie for those who are wondering.

Overall I’m most pleased with Huron’s Power Fist. I’ll definitely be attempting to better it in future, but it’s a nice start.

EDIT: Here’s the scale comparison with good old Lamenter Bob.

So here he is, very near completion. I have a sculpted cloak to attack to his backpack (somehow) and a Hamadrya yet to sculpt but otherwise Huron is pretty much finished. I left off the feline skin trophy he has draped over his shoulder in the illustrations, because I think it’ll interfere too much with the model as it is and likely won’t look very good on the finished model. There are some minor differences between the model and the artwork but it’s a fairly close finish.

Taking a look at the model shown in the Bell of Lost Souls Badab War supplement, there’s a striking similarity to this model. This is entirely coincidental, but a coincidence I find rather pleasing none the less. I’ve yet to see how well I can sculpt the Hamadrya familiar. If it’s not up to scratch I will leave it off in favour of GW’s own model.

I think I can honestly say this is one of my better conversions so far, but there are certainly elements I know I can improve upon.
