My latest edition to the collection is a Kharn Brute. I got this figure at the Dollar Tree. It is from their Final Faction Line. According to the fluff, the Kharn are an alien race determined to plunder the Earth of its resources. I have modified several Kharn figures already and couldn't resist adding this one to the fold.
I made a multitude of modifications to the figure as well as giving it a repaint. I first took the figure apart so I could remove the arms. I then reassembled it and glued the head and legs into place. Crayola Model Magic was added to where the arms were attached so that I could change the angle of the arms from the torso. Once the arms were glued into their new positions, I was ready to add weapons.
The bone club on the right was made from a pack of 36 bones from the Dollar Tree's Halloween accessories. The bones are made from foam so I coated it with multiple layers of PVA glue and Modge Podge to harden it before a painted it. I then sealed it.
The sword is a modified Chaos Sword from Warhammer. I replaced the grip of the sword and the pummel (now a skull). I had a bunch of spare parts left over from the set of Vargheists I've been working on. I added bone-pierced flesh to the upper arms of the beast, a set of tusks to the mouth, and 4 boney spikes along the spine on the back. The top spike has an impaled upper human torso on it.
The entire creature was painted coal black. I went back and highlighted the raised areas with a metallic purple. When everything was dry, I clear-coated the entire figure.
The pic is not the best (sorry). I like the way the figure turned out. It looks like it is pissed and on a rampage. Because of this, I have renamed the creature a Kharn Rampager.
