[Archive] Mage Knight - IRON RAIN HILL GIANT

MiniatureReview:

I picked up this Mage Knight IRON RAIN HILL GIANT and thought it would be perfect for conversion.  I am guessing I can make some big hats for the 3 dwarfs that are riding on it, but I would love to get some big hat dwarf heads if anyone has some.  Hint…hint. :slight_smile:



For those that want to do the same thing, this bad boy can be found on Ebay or Amazon pretty cheap.

Grimstonefire:

How tall?

It would look better with a brutal hammer or mace imo.

Jackswift:

Nice!  The feet sticking out of the shoulder armor seem unusual (kind of defeats the purpose of having armor), but the model is a great find to use for chaos dwarves.  What will you play it as?

I have some Russian Alternative heads I would be willing to trade if you are interested.   Send me a pm if so.  I’ve also seen a few good big hat options made from beads and similar things here on CDO.   I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Don't think of it as armour but as a baby stroller type thing ;P

MiniatureReview:

I will take some comparison shots.  It is pretty tall though.  The Dwarfs riding it are 28mmish.  Looks very imposing next to my GW Chaos Dwarfs.

Looks crazy, I like it. :wink:

The 9th age ID book has a rare choice, an ARMOURED GIANT.

This one could work…and it’s NOT Games Workshop!!!

No more $$$$ for the evil tyrants!!!

Petterwass:

Amazon

Zanko:

The cheapest model on Amazon costs 30 �,�, not cheap for a toy …

Will have a look at other sales platforms!

I got it for 20 (pre-shipping) dollars, but it was the last one in stock.
Also, I don't compare it to a toy. i compare it to a GW/FW giant, and then it is suddenly quite cheap!

Petterwass:

Arrived!

Size is nice. Planned work: Remove base, remove feet from gunner dwarfs and fill in holes, replace head of driver dwarf with head of a RA dorf with GW, remove spike from right gunner dwarf’s helmet.

Should be all needed.

Petterwass:

And done. NOt as good a painted as most people here.

Still happy with it

I think it's beautiful :cheers
Nice and effective conversion work you've done, and what a difference the colors make for the model...the red and copper tones are perfect. Hashut approves :hashut
