well, it looks good and the paintjob is of good quality and also a very nice one.

the only thing that i'm not really fond of is the sword, but maybe that's because of the angle, if it wouldn't bother i would like to see that sword from a better angle.

otherwise it looks cool imho

@ Fotsvette, very simple conversion. I like it. IMO, the simpler the conversion the better.

HOwever, I would like to see a different blade on the sword instead of the ward sword blade or have you thought about extending the blade to make it longer?

In regards to the painting, it is good table top quality, a few more higlights would improve but nice. I don't think I would have painted it in that fashion though as the descriptions about Kouran in regards to armour and weapons are different in my mind.

I would try and do some freehand on the cloak to make him stand out. He is a nuber character after all.

Good work.

Cheers,

Malachi

it turned out good after all!

those fingers are sculpted right? really good job with that! also I like the paint job on his face! really nice!

the armour could've been better blended and the cloaks could use some more highlighting... also, the base looks a bit plain...

The idea of the base however is really cool! how did you do that? it looks like melting snow

good job!

@ Malachi, I haven't converted much before so I tried to find parts that would fit together nicely, if I had tried to extend the blade it would look like cr@p.

@ mar-win, I'll go over him with a layer or two of highlighting

Actually the base was supposed to be thick snow like he were up in the north of Naggaroth. :p It's a mix of PVA glue and soda(natron).

About the armour I wasn't really sure how to do it, wether to try NMM or just make it plain silver.

Here are som pics form different angles:
