Then "His mighty halberd, Wyrmbane" should be rephrased accordingly...

It's the sawn off 'stealth' model.

I just file it under Privateer Shenanigans.

I really like him other than his uni-horn. It's an odd little bit of headgear considering how massive everything else is.

Ummm... Learn your weapons better. The typical Glaive is a 45cm(18inch) blade atop a 2m(~6 feet) pole.

An entire Halberd tended to be 6-7 feet long with blade included.

That weapon is truly neither.

Ummm...it's Privateer. They don't subscribe to "typical" weapon definitions.

Too right, mono horns should come out of the side of his head, or not at all.

Be that as it may, doesn't mean your analysis was correct.

Well fine! I was wrong! Damn you Privateer for making me wrong!

I'm still trying to figure out what the Stormgunner is supposed to be carrying, so you're right that Privateer's weapons make us all wonder about whether they know what real weapons look like.

Weapon is wierd just to be different. It is not esthetically(SP) pleasing. Consistently my biggest gripe about PP sculpts.

Can't wait to beat on some people with that figure!

FYP.

I just noticed that completely makes an Aztec styled pyramid if you look at it from above.

They already fixed the description.
Apparently it was a hold-over from the concepts that didn't get fixed when the model was done.

But does this mean I'm right or wrong?! This is important!

It's a sword. As said before, a glaive is a polearm. The description now uses the wonderfully nondescript term "blade".

Kinda reminds me of Yoshimitsu from Tekken..

First PP model I've seen that actually made me go to their website and take a look at WM. Really digging that model.

x2. How big is he compared to a normal 28mm figure? I see a Nagash conversion in his future...

He is on a medium base. 40mm.

Oh? Is that confirmed? Sweet!

PPS_Simon confirmed it on the PPForums post.

He'd be a very small Nagash. He's probably about the same size as Asphyxious or Goreshade, so slightly smaller than an Ogre.

Height and bulk wise he looks to be about Ogrun Bokur size, noticeably bigger than Goreshade and Asphixious. He's probably smaller than the Lich Lord Asphixious model though.

I've no idea what that represents in terms of GW figures.
