You'd have to replace his steel barrel weapon with something else, but this guy from the French company "Taban Miniatures" is pretty cool:
Ha, nice! Monte used one of those for an orc demigod of fire in his Ptolus game when we freed it... and ran like Hell to let it battle our enemies.... :)
(Planting a 12" action figure on the battlemat is VERY intimidating!)
I thought a God of War Kratos action figure would make a good Rune Giant because he's basically just a big muscly guy with tattoos. I'd be worried my players would recognize him though. (I'm not currently running RotRL so it's hypothetical.)
My Dm carefully tweaked and painted this and this and I must admit they worked out rather well, conveying the gigantic japanese armored giants from the picture in the core book. As an added bonus he found them in a bargin bin for 10 bucks each.
This is exactly what I planned to do myself.
Of course, my PCs are still smack in the middle of Burnt Offerings, so I have a good long time to settle on the final choices.

Yes, these mini are sculpted great.
The Rones and Bones series is especially good ... And would suit perfectly a Freeport, Second Darkness or Razor Coast campaign.
However ... Buyers beware ! They have the EXTREMELY Annoying habit of putting out minis without worrying about how these things should stand straight !!! They don't always provide abses, and even when they do, they don't always fit, or are the wrong shape.
Extremely annoying if you do not have the time to do custom jobs (my case).
EDIT : I suppose, that if you do have time and are experienced enough in this, there is no problem at all.
