Thanks! I really liked the kit but wasn’t sure about the soaring upwards pose - think it’s because the rider doesn’t crown the model and the head competes for attention with the rider. Also, there’s a lot of movement but it doesn’t look like it’s about to fight in combat.
Having got to take a close look at them, I’m v tempted by a second box. I’m wondering if a GW Galadhrim Knight might fit as a rider? If so, not too expensive and all plastic (I much prefer it).
The Hydra is a bit of a compromise - it was easy to get hold of, will go together easily, and relatively cheap compared to some of the options out there. I do think the balance between the heads and the body is about right for me, some other minis I’m not so sure.
Finished a few of the conversions I was playing around with. Started to base coat the greater elemental - I’ll probably build the regular earth elementals and do them together as a batch before coming back to the rest. Thinking of contrast painting the Hydra and BoN (elementals more drybrushed like scenery).
Beast of Nature - added crypt wings (tried to devamp them a bit)
