While most of Queen Dy'val's forces are biomechanical drones, she still needs someone to lead her forces as the attempt to invade the multiverse. This is her general:

Made from a 25th Nemesis Enforcer, with General Grievious legs, a little styrene and some Apoxie Sculpt. I used some acrylic rod stock in the sculpting on the face and shins to keep my high points where I wanted them. Standing with his legs straight, like he is in the last picture, he's actually taller than 25th anny Destro.

I like it... kinda reminds me of the guards in Krull

Oh, that's neat. Love that head.

Kinda get a Casshern (the movie) vibe from him. Nice work, the feet feel a bit out of place to me as his overall appearance is somewhat organic/protoplasmic but I dig it.

I dont know the story behind it, but it looks great.

That is rockin'!

Totally cool.
One thing I'm not completely sold on, is the really long blade on his left arm. It's not the length, so much as the angle that it sits at.

I also agree that the feet may seem a little out of place. They don't bother me at all, but something "techno" on the upper part of his body could help tie his feet into another piece of the design, helping them to not look "out of place" as much. Of course these are just personal opinions, and this figure flat out rocks either way!

Great job!
If this guy is the "General", do we get to see his troops?

As I'm looking at the figure I'm in awe at the craftsmanship and then I hit the lower legs and its obviously Grievous. They stick out. I do like Gaingaan-Dnok fix of adding more tech features to the top to balance the design out.

Thanks guys. I agree that the blade angle, and lack of tech on other parts of the body are issues with him. I'm not sure where else I'd want to put tech on him, but if I figure something out, I'll post an update. 'Bout the only thing I can think of would be maybe an armored metal spinal column, on his back.

that's really nice looking, love the head but not to fond of the feet

I really like this. A lot of work went into this custom. The sculpting looks great and you cannot tell you actually did sculpting which is what you want. You want the sculpting seemless and look like factory. Great job.

Damn that's cool.
I don't mind the blade diffrence at all and kind of like it.
I do agree that a little touch of tech and silver on top would balance the figure But it's still an awsome figure.

Thanks! He's pretty simple, compared to some of the work that gets shown off around here. I'm glad people like him, even if his design is a little unbalanced.

Overall, I lovge the feel and look of teh figure. Excellent work. I do agree with the others about adding some tech to the upper body. Doesn't need to be much, just a couple of parts embedded into the chest area to give it balance.
