02782: Warl Hellbore, Assassin Exchange Mini for 2015 Summer

[Darcstaar]

Well, everyone.

Arc724 made the following comment in his guidelines for his exchange mini:
"I'm starting a Star Wars RPG Campaign, so if you can paint me a Sith or Jedi, you'd have a new friend forever."

 

Challenge Accepted...

 

As soon as I saw this figure years ago I thought "He'd make a great Sith."  Now I had the chance to prove it.

I call him Bel'Rheol.  That was a jumble of the letters in Hellbore (which is the only name on the blister card).

He has a weird spiral hat, so I Ret-Conned that to make him a Twi'Lek.  In reading on the Wookieepedia, I came across a Headmistress at a Sith Assassin Academy named Darth Traya who was pale with black eyes from "seeing with the force."

I used that idea.

 

I originally envisioned short sabers (Shoto) like dagger length, but they ended up like long short-swords.

I modified his toes to be less "Jester-Like" and more Sci-Fi acceptable, with little green stuff soles.

He is on a Secret Weapon 30mm Tau Ceti base.  The shoto are sewing needles. (see WIP when done).

I'll get into colors, thoughts and ideas more in the WIP, which it looks like will be later since I just got paged to go in to work...

Great idea, lovely executed.

[naponatom]

AWESOME!!!!

[seej]

The brown leather is fantastic, and that face has so much character. Great job!

[Beowulfthehunter]

Awesome. That figure being so otherworldly has potential for conversion and painting in a non fantasy manner.

[Glitterwolf]

Good one.

[Tarsemina]

Looks really cool!

[VolksFest]

Awesome job! May the force be with the unfortunate Jedi who will face him, because they will need it...

Peace is a lie, there is only passion. That, and a very cool mini. Great job.

[ub3r_n3rd]

Very cool, the Dark Lord approves! 

[Darcstaar]

Thanks for the warm responses!  The best praise is that Arc724 is very happy, which makes it all worthwhile.
