77316: Demon Lord of the Undead

Found this "totally not Orcus" at my local gaming shop and decided to paint him up. I really liked the sculpt save for the scepter, so I clipped it off and kit bashed a new one. I used a few pieces from the some sprues of reaper weapons (got them from a friend, I think they came with Bones III kickstarter) and added a few GW skulls. I am super happy with how my scepter turned out.

Love to hear what you all think.

Great paint job, and the conversion of the scepter is very nicely done, and looks excellent.

Paint job and scepter look great! 

 

Did you put put a pin through his hand and drill some tiny holes in the Bones pieces? I pin a lot (I'm an engineer and like my gaming figs to be pretty bullet proof) but haven't pinned any Bones yet.

Thanks glad you all like them!

I probably should have pinned it but didn't. I was in a hurry and skipped that step. I drilled out the hand and opened it up to accept the halves of the scepter and secured it with the old baking soda and superglue trick and it seems fairly secure. If it proves to weak I'll re-secure it with a pin. That said I've pinned Bones on a few occasions. It's necessary with a few sculpts just to get them to stand up strait or avoid sagging. With the softer material you need to be careful that your drill dosn't wonder but otherwise it's not to bad.

Great sceptre replacement. I really like the eyes on this one - nice choice making his eye 'whites', white

I really like what you did with the scepter, I agree it's much cooler than the original!

Thanks! he was a blast to paint. and the scepter came out better than I hoped.

Great work! Very nice mod on the wand.

It's always satisfying to modify a figure and make it your own, top marks!
