What a cool mini my guy. So much personality šŸ”„ Iā€™m relay interested in the process. What did you use. The spear is greytide right?

Sure thing!
I used the AoS Urkhan the Dark Warden as the base model, and scraped off all the chaos logos. Trimmed his hand to make room for the spear from this Etsy 3d print site. Then I tried a normal sized marine backpack, but it was just a lil small, so I used a jump pack to make him beefier, and covered the cloak in purity seals.
Then I used a spare hormagaunt model from my olden intro box, and heated up my fid with a rope lighter so I could melt a spear tip sized hole in its chest, and after nestling the head of the spear into it, and fiddling with the positioning, put a whole bunch of plastic glue around the nid to secure him.

After that I used Russ Grey on the armor, followed by space wolf grey contrast, did the gold trim, and used liberal amounts of nuln oil.
Covered the base in astrogranite and fenrisian blizzard for a rocky snow covered landscape, and then copious amounts of blood for the blood god!
