Undead Gargoyle....thing....I think. You be the judge.

Last year I bought this model from a local models reseller. It is officially a, <checks notes>, Aviarch Harpy from the Teratic Cohort from Warcry. Cause sure, why use normal names that you can't copyright ey?

Did not like the head so tossed that into the bits box and used a Beastman skull from GW's most excellent Citadel Skulls box (now that is a box that is worth its price if you ask me). The model arrived broken (missing wingtip and minor bumps etc) so fixed that, only the wingtip repair failed so I thought, wht bother. Added some rocks to the base and glued big ol washer underneath for support and to stick to magnetic sheeting. And as usual, it stayed in the todo box for almost a year?

Primed it bone, gave it a good drybrush, tried some glowing eyes (it's passable) and sprayed it gloss for protection, then matted all the bone and did the bloodwork and tufts.

I'm not sure what I made tbh. While working on it, it feels it can work as a generic undead enemy or a boss level figure for Silver Bajonet, Horror Games, maybe Deth Wizards, Mordheim, be a Necromancers pet. So I'll just call it a Undead Gargoyle and call it a day.

That’s very scary! Love the gore.

Nice work, & I agree about the silly (original) name.

Cool model, and nicely () painted! Is nicely the right word with so much gore...

The more I look at its boney anatomy the more confused I am - it has a belly button, and seems to have ribs on its neck. Is the original meant to be boney undead or something else?

It's a really weird range of models. Basically all of them are Undead Constructs of sorts? Nagash's Space Marines?  Nagash's Special Project? I dunno, I prefer regular skeletons, the standard Undead. But I thought it would look good as a construct with a new head, like a Necromancers pet. And so it is

Impressive.

Well that is odd, and something I do not want to encounter.

Nice work.

Can it still get airborne?

Can it still get airborne?

I'd like to say no, but most likely the answer is Yes.

Nice work.

Thx! And neither do I!

That’s a pretty cool model!

[Chairface]

I love it! Looks like a decaying Vrykolakas

Obviously the deranged, nightmare construct of a drug-maddened necromancer-artist with an abundance of sentient limestone to work with.

Thats a cool monster, like the final boss of a story. Or Ridley from Metroid.
