Carrowek of Carn Dhu from Mierce Minis Prepares to Execute You
October 9, 2012 by brennon
A mighty monolithic warrior who would put He-Man and Conan to shame with his muscles is heading to Mierce Miniatures ready to chop off heads and generally act like a total bad ass. Check out the images from SIMON Miniature Sculptor below...
"Carn Dhu, the black fortress at the heart of Kernow's betrayal, skulks on an impregnable promontory of granite that dominates the coast and the lands around it and not least because of its lord, the brutal Carrowek, who serves Kernunnos as only the Kernowek can. A War-Drune of grotesque proportion so blessed by his god for his unblinking servitude and unthinking ferocity and beloved of Euryalia for his unswerving loyalty, Carrowek controls great swathes of his lands and influences much more through simple reputation and the power of his retinue, for he commands Ax-Drunes and Sword-Drunes and Chain-Drunes in numbers no other lord of Kernow ever could: yet the fear he inspires in the Seaxans and the Norse and indeed any who would dare to prick the realm of Ker-Ys whilst he lives ensures he is ever abroad with his mighty host, seeking to quench his ravenous thirst for battle and blood and slaughter in the Horned God's name."
Now that's one mighty warrior with a grudge to bear. Is this going to be one of those miniatures that makes your wallet cry, or are you not impressed with this musclebound warrior of doom and bloodshed?
Carrowek will be available from 11th November.
What do you think folks?

He looks like Thrud if he fell to chaos.
I like the flowing lines. Some lovely shapes happening in the negative spaces. But from a practical point of view the axe handle and cloak look awkward. I am wincing at the thought of him crashing his mighty chopper down on someone’s head, only to pierce his own nipple on his belt buckle’s horns. Ouchie! Wonder if the cloak would offer enough support to remove the rock from underfoot. That has become such a cliche and one of these days one of these brutes are going to twist an ankle. He should also never go out without a vest and… Read more »
Too over-the-top for my tastes. Looks like his fruit and veggies are augmented by 25 servings of steroids.
He actually sets his axe on those horns when he’s washing for dinner.
It’s over the top, I stopped counting the veins and muscles, and the pose is awkward… It does appeal to my gay male libido, but other than that…
This is an issue with me with a lot of minis lately.
The muscle bound male figure gets ever bigger to emphasis power and masculinity. It seems to be a counterpart to the basketball boobed babe syndrome. It is like they are having to up the ante with every figure.
I wish the designers would just tone it down. It isn’t necessary to convey strength or femininity.
The sculptor of this model obviously has talent, but the sculpt is seriously spoiled for me by the musculature and equipment being overemphasised.
Absolutely ! And ye, no “package” to speak of…
I like it. Brings back my memory of the old Conan comic books.
When did Bane become a fantasy warrior?
Guy looks badass ive kickstartered this game love the minis
