Another recently finished figure, although, it was only a little bit here and there that needed completing - this character is the Hierophant of the metal GW flagellants I finished a while back. I realised that I needed a leader for them and discovered this wizard from the Reaper Bones range, which with a bit of converting would be perfect! His robes, the chains and the wild beard fit brilliantly alongside the other figures. He's also a bit bigger (see below) and there's also the cost to take into account - I bloody love the Bones range!
The original figure came with a bone-encrusted scythe, which looked a bit too evil. I replaced the head of the scythe with a mace taken from the GW plastic flagellants. I also trimmed the edges of the scroll he is holding up, as it was also in the shape of a bone. The hooded cape is another way that he's differentiated from the rest of his supplicants.Here he is alongside one of his wild-eyed followers - I used a larger base for him in order to better encompass the robes.
Comments are most welcome as usual! Hopefully it won't be long until these gents are purging a graveyard or accursed temple!
Great job dude! Nice conversions too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, really well executed conversion and paint job. The Bones range is great for stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteO wow, LOVE the conversion. Makes him a menacing giant of a fanatic!
