Gargoyle

 

Way back in 3rd Edition, Warhammer had gargoyles.

In Heroquest, we had a Khorne style gargoyle.

Where did they all go? I want them back.


I never did like the interpretation of the harpy for the Dark Elf army roster; not the concept, just the metal models. I like them, don't get me wrong, but they look like gargoyles to me rather than hapies. Harpies were meant to be half hag-like old woman and half vulture.

I had a DE harpy from somewhere but the wings ended up on some other model - perhaps the furies acting as vampire bats, and I had a Heroquest gargoyle wingset spare. The two had to go together and the painting took all of about 15 minutes to finish and then base.

Isn't he sweet?
