Behold! The newest member of Legio Tartarus: Hyperion. He's a Lucius Pattern Reaver that comes out to about an inch taller than the FW one, but putting the two side-by-side makes the FW Reaver look like a malnourished child. This one is much, much beefier. The weapons are about twice the size of his counterpart's, but he's not compensating for anything. I didn't realize that until a friend of mine brought his FW Reaver to a battle, and we put them next to each other. By sheer mass, it could probably be a Warlord. Of course, my actual Warlord will be much bigger...

I still have some work to do. I'll add some banners to him, and some people to the base, but overall he's done and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. From a pile of plasticard, PVC pipe, and foamcore, I think it looks pretty good.

Oh! I almost forgot, I added a sound system inside him. The Missile Launcher opens up (I have it magnetized) to fit my iPod, with a universal jack that runs to a set of speakers inside his body. It's not super loud, so you won't hear it in a crowded game store, but with the local hobby group it's plenty. And the head lights up so that you can see the crew inside.
