Orion conversion

Post by Hyarion »

So I have an idea for converting an Orion figure. For the head, I want to use this head http://www.destroyerminis.com/wp-conten ... dir_01.jpg

Does anybody know if Andrea Miniatures does bitz orders (or, hope against hope, have one of the Ithandir heads that they didn't use?)?

Has anybody worked with Mierce Miniatures? Any recommendations or warnings?

I bought the stag from Mierce.

The scale is a bit smaller than GW. The quality is good (resin always requires a bit of clean up though).

Great customer service.

I might be needing to change my plan since Andrea Miniatures is not cooperating. Mierce has some great figs though, so I might have to see what I can do.

What do you have in mind for this conversion? I can't really see the model you posted (nice elf lord I'll admit, a bit more HE looking though) fitting with Orion as we know him from the lore.

I think a Stag centaur orion would be awesome.. but way out of my league :D.
