Harwood’s Cultists Betrayed Shiva!
April 23, 2013 by dracs
Harwood Hobbies' range of exotic figures for swashbuckling adventures is set to expand with a couple of vicious looking cultists. Prepare to meet Kali!
The first one is your standard evil cultist affair, sinister looking and wearing a skull head belt buckle if you didn't get the evil vibe right away.
The Deathdealer though I really like. I could easily picture her as some sort of unit champion, or even as a character for a RPG.
These two are also joined by a seductive feathered friend, the Siren.
The sculpt is by no means the most ground breaking I have seen, but I do like the design of the Siren which seems to combine both its seductive and monstrous qualities.
Fancy joining the Cult of Kali? Or will you give in to the Siren's song?
I thought sirens were supposed to be aquatic.
They are usually depicted as having the head of a woman and the body of a bird.
However they are mostly associated with luring sailors onto the rocks as in the Odyssey.
It is only really their song that is seductive rather than their appearance.
An interesting take in the Siren.
My favourite is definitely the Deathdealer. The first cultist is okay
Wish the skull motif had been replaced by a “gorgon” mask which would be more in keeping with Kali. Skullz are just too generic and something different would be welcome.
I’m liking all three models with Deathdealer being in my opinion best of bunch.
Over all I like them all. Now they should make the Siren a set of three just to make it complete.
Very interesting on the sculpts. They have an “Age of Conan” style to them you don’t normally see in models. Kudos on some original ideas!
KALIMAA!
