Mauhur looks like a useful hero/captain to have. However, my budget for this month and probably January has already been sent to the North Pole to help Santa Claus supply gifts to our granchlidren. And I object to £10 for a single figure. Therefore I decided to see if I could convert spare figures to make at least a passable and recognisabe figure.

I used an Uruk Hai sapper as the basic figure, lopped off his head a swopped on a head from a Mordor Orc swordsman after trimming the hair and sculpting on new pointed ears from the shavings. Then I added the top knot made from part of the handle of a spare handaxe (no idea where it came from) and the horsehair from a spare helmet. The cloak was in the bits box and probably came from some old warhammer figure. Finally a sword was placed in his left hand. The result is a passable representation I think. I realise that my one has a bit more armour than the original but i can live with that. Now to paint him.

Very clever conversion

Many thanks for the kind words. I may try a few other "named" characters. I have several surplus figures to try with.

Top job, there's no doubting that is Mauhur

Superb work, the flesh is subtle and the chipped armour is great.

Nice idea like it

Nice conversion. A little bit more work around the neck and it would be perfect!
