Manda's (Amachan) Order of Heimdallr
Hjǫrdís, the Build.
Hjǫrdís is my pagan witch riding a unicorn. To make her I am using the rider from “Freydis on Horseback” and the horse from “Jarl Lathgertha”, both are from Bad Squiddo Games and I’m adding a couple of bits from the Frostgrave wizards set as well. That set is from Northstar Military Figures.
I started by drilling a hole in the head for the unicorn. This made sure that the unicorn got more oxygen to the brain and could think more clearly. I put in a brass rod, cut that to size and shrouded that in a coat of greenstuff.
Overcompensating Unicorn!!!On to Hjǫrdís herself, I cut the hands of the model and replaced one with a staff and one with an open hand from the Frostgrave Wizards set.
I filled in the gaps in between the hands of Hjǫrdís and then I sanded the horn of the unicorn smooth. I got rid of most of the cast-on base, drilled a couple of holes in the hooves and pinned the unicorn to some cork bark. I then glued that to a 50x50mm square base. I added some more cork bark bits to the base and I feel like the model is ready for priming. Hjǫrdís is still separate from the unicorn and will be so during painting.
