This fellow was my entry for Games Day Atlanta 2005 and won the silver for Warhammer Fantasy Monster.

As you may have noticed, the bone giant is an extensive conversion. I used a tomb scorpion body, drilled out most of the existing lich entombed within that part, and installed one of the more dynamic individual lich figures. Originally I was going to just mount the head on the tomb scorpion body, but decided that the bone giant's collar would look much better -- it was, however, a royal pain removing from the rest of the body, but in the end I feel it was worth it.

His pose was meant to imply a dramatic plea to the gods to end the suffering at the hands of a lich's control, but I suppose he could also be wondering if that was rain just now or a flock of desert birds. The pain of suffering or toilet humour; really, the choice is yours, dear viewer. The choice is yours.

Finally a person who makes a wonderful bone giant! I love the fact that you were able to make an expression on a skeleton. I also like the colors a lot, but my favourite in this piece is the scythe, wonderful conversion!
