Title: US Winged Sentinel of Liberty
Post by: white knight on June 02, 2009, 02:25:04 PM
Don't you love that moment when going through the leadpile and you stumble on some figure that you had forgotten you even had and instantly see a new use for it that you hadn't entertained before? I came upon this figure I got as a free giveaway with the old Harbinger magazine and never knew what to do with but that was just too cool to sell/give away. Well, when I saw it yesterday morning, I instantly thought it'd make a good American superhero type for a weird war II setting. So I painted it up to match my other figures and there you have it: a flying sentinel of liberty with a bit of angelic ancestry.

This isn't converted in any way?  What a strange miniature.

Most of the minis they gave away with the mag were unusual, which makes it so hard finding a use for them. :)

 :-* MAkes me sad that I was a poor student when Harbinger still lived, and so never managed to get any of those...
