Yes, you can CUSTOMIZE your HQ minis.

Image

Red skel is simply a small and careful application of cigarette lighter heat on the scythe to redirect it - notice if it were an actual scythe, the handle curve is all wrong with the direction of the blade.

The killer skel has his scythe redirected too and added a scythe head on the other side, with several spare skull faces cut off and added; the backs of them form 'spine armor' down his back and the shoulder pad. There is a rubber band wrapped around one leg; it is my hope that it doesnt eventually degrade and burn thru the plastic leg - we will see as time goes on.
The wizard skel has a paperclip added, is holding a "scroll" in the body hand, has an arm cut and reglued at a different angle, and has the cloth cloak added.

All of these wonders were made by Georgeous of the Gorge. Any special orders can be done - but you will have to supply the parts for him and he will get back to you with a price!

Other people who have already made extensive customizations to their minis - please post pix in here and tell us how you did it - then those who have some skills can replicate it!

Well not quite Hero Quest. And not quite finished with the paint job... or shields... or bases...
But when else am I going to post these "frozen dead"?

They are GW plastic skeletons with a bunch of green stuff.
The clothing are just 1 very flat piece of green stuff attached at appropriate places and folded to resemble clothes.
Afterwards i ripped it with a needle.

Feel free to ask anything (about these skeletons!)

Ethica - those are really cool and well-done mods.
See? If we didn't make a thread like this, we wouldn't know what's out there.

Keep 'em coming, people...

Sjeng:
I could - but I won't ;)
But they were not that hard to make. You could make your own!

cynthialee:
Post what you got. Even if it's just something simple it may still inspire other people to do something similar.

I only asked for some customs because I also had the Witch king expansion - and I think I might have gotten even more extra skels and orcs with the whole set. Didn't count.
But I think skels and orcs are pretty easy to find on eBay. I got an extra chaos sorc that way...

There are plenty of fairly reasonable auctions on the bay for skellies and orks still on the tree.
