After a head swap from a Yeti (Reaper Bones) and a modified weapon, you got that before the painting step :

I love that headswap! What scale are you using him for? Looks to tower over those trees!

oups, 28mm for the mortals !
As the common Fomorian are Big guys, their heros must be bigger ! Isn't it ?
The trees are very small (N scale), indeed.

And now, it's time to see the Formorian god ; Balor
The king of the evil Fomorians is a hideous giant with an eye in the middle of his forehead. When this eye is opened, it shoots forth a poisonous beam that destroys everything it touches. Balor’s hatred of the Tuatha De Danann knows no bounds; in Irish myths, the Tuatha and the Fomorians fought an endless series of wars. He was killed by Lugh of the Long Hand at the second Battle of Magh Tuireadh (Moytura in English); Lugh’s sling stone drove Balor’s eye to the back of his head and turned its deadly power against the Fomorian army, which was destroyed. Lugh then cut off Balor’s head, which fell to the ground face-down; Balor’s eye burned a hole in the ground, which became Loch na Súil ("Lake of the Eye") in County Sligo.
looking like that :

Very suitable miniature for that. Looking forward to seeing the process and progress.

The idea is to set up a led as the Balor's one eye.
so the figurine is perfect for the job ;)
