Reaper Horned Hunter conversion

A while back I bought the Reaper Horned Hunter figure when I was getting a couple of other figures. I was hoping to use it a beastman Gor figure, but the figure is actually only the size of an Ungor, so he became the basis for a beastman Ungor hero instead. Here he is painted:


The head and the quiver of arrows are GW, and the rest the original figure.

The original figure from Reaper.


Now the reason why I got the figure painted was because my plan to paint up a Prince Nuada figure to lead my beastmen warband. The figure has been sitting on my tabletop for a while now, but when I realised that I could actually field him as a god leading my beastmen as a OGAM warband, I got started.

A little reading on Wikipedia tells me that I can field the figure as Bres, a half-Fomorian, half-Sidhe king who was deposed and then allied himself with Balor - it just so happens that my beastmen wear the mark of Balor: the Evil Eye.

As with my dwarves, I only need to paint one god figure to have a ready warband. Joy.

Ungor unit.

Nicely done looks great. I actually prefer yours over the original.

LOL.

Thanks.

I guess I'm lucky the proportions fit. The Reaper Horned Hunter's head look rather small, but the horns are impressive - I've saved the piece in my bits box.
