One day I was contemplating all of the extra bits I had left over after assembling this Warhammer set and whipped up a klar from one of the heads from the set and a spear tip. I didn't have a plan for it, but then fate took over when I noticed an old Bane heroclix. My internal dialogue went something like this: "Huh, look at that, it's the perfect size and he's in the perfect pose for it. Wait a minute, there's that Shoanti fighting style where they use a klar and earthbreaker. The haft of that spear that I just clipped the tip of of would work, but what about the head? You know a couple pieces of the sprue from that set would be about the right shape if I glued them together right. Now to make the spikes out of green stuff. Well, they didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped, but it gets the idea across. Now I'll just use this left over green stuff to fill in some of Bane's low-cut getup. Now what am I going to do with that head?"
At that point, the inspiration ran out. He sat in a box for a few months while I waited for the perfect head to cross my path. Recently, I started running a game for my nephew, and in that game he plays a Shoanti thunder and fang style fighter. I decided it was finally time to dig out this old model and get it finished. In a bit of a rush, I decapitated a Hawkeye heroclix (which was already an amputee because somebody else needed his bow), shaved off his hair and glued it onto Bane's body. For some reason it didn't look entirely too small... good enough! Prime, paint, wash, base, dullcote, done. God he looks like Duke Nukem, and why is he wearing sunglasses (those aren't sunglasses, they're goggles he picked up while exploring the Cinderlands)? Also, he probably should have had some tattoos, but really, I think he turned out pretty good. I love it when thing fall into place like this:
