That should be enough. The last link takes a very different approach but is a bit difficult not to break

ryanamandaanna:

That’s a great collection of images!

Galladorn:

That’s alot of inspiration. Nice collection.

Castellan:

Really nice collection of “K’daii” Man, that Fire Demon looks superb!

This is inspiring.
Somehow I get the feeling that some of these may soon be taken as avatars for forum members.

Method:

I like the idea of a giant dwarven golem the best…

fonejaker:

I’m going to be basing my normal K’daais of NRG from ben 10 :stuck_out_tongue:

WOW! If I hadn’t already converted Juggernauts to K’daai, I would definitely go with the Hailkin. Awesome model and could work awesomely well with a Stone/Lava-Paintjob.

Please someone do it a share pics! Tjub?

Fire Giant by jubjubjedi on DeviantArt

Very dwarfy in proportions.

Here are some similar:

Thommy H:

The reason they have Dwarven proportions is probably because, in D&D, Fire Giants look like massive Dwarves rather than massive humans. Cool pictures though.

I like the hail kin. Does anybody know how big they are?

I found the answer in another thread, answered by Thommy H -
I think they're on normal 30mm bases, so they're probably more-or-less human sized. When I suggested them in a thread a while back, it was acknowledged they'd be a bit small, but would probably look okay on the right sized base - Fireborn are only 2 Wounds after all.

Thommy H
So I don't think they would have the presence you are looking for.  They do look the part though.

This is a model that is also too small, "Trictalion".  I would love a Destroyer sized version.  If I get crazy, I may try to make a proper sized version.

Grimbold Blackhammer:

I use Hail Kin as my K’daii Fireborn and they are a bit small. They are tall and thin so they don’t fill a 40mm base very well. But they look great and I chose to use them because it gives me a chance to model some killer bases. Oh…and they’re pretty cheap. They’re not ideal but they certainly do the job for me!
