I'm thinking of adding a second HQ to my Tallarn army (not that I've played in 2 years, don't judge me bro) and I already have both the normal officer and Captain Al'wasshisface.

I just tried bidding on this happy fellow



But he went for like $40, a bit rich for my blood.

This fella (sans carpet) would be FANTASTIC



But I think he's an old Dogs of War guy and probably costs more than the GDP of Trinidad.

Any other thoughts for something that would fit in visually with a Tallarn army. The main sticking point is the odd double sized heads a lot of older GW models have. Great for expressiveness and you don't notice it when everyone had them, but once you put in a realistically proportioned model they stand out.

I used an Infinity model to represent him in my guard army (when I had one - I stopped about the same time you did - but I've not gone back).

Tarik el-mansuri I think he was called. I was going for a more Larry of Araby look though with my colonial guard.


I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

I'm sure you've already considered it, but what about the FW tank commander or the mukaali captain?
They're without legs, but normal Cadian legs or other FW Tallarn legs work pretty well with them. My commander is made from one and looks pretty spiffy if I do say so

I have a mukaali captain lying around if you want it for a couple bucks too

I found the tank commander, he looks pretty good, do you have a pick of Penis Rider?

Meanwhile it looks like Reaper can do the job without breaking the bank.

Including a fat dude in a turban



He's not as good as the GW fat dude in turban, but he could work.

And there's some good bodyguards




And dancing girls (Death cultists?)


But if anyone has other suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Yup!

That right eye of his is a bionic eye, not sure if you can tell by the picture. Hope this helps
