Just fishing for some feedback to see if I managed to pull off a goofy project I recently undertook.

I have a friend (and frequent opponent) who has an unfortunate tendency to glamourize/fetishize horrible historical and/or fictional figures based on their ruthlessness and... iron-fisted-ness?

I told him I was going to convert him a new HQ for his Imperial Guard, based on one of his current "favourites". It also happens to be a person I'll massively enjoying removing from the table every chance I get.

So, can anyone figure out who this model is supposed to be?
(if not, and you absolutely cannot see where the heck I was going with this, there'll be a denouement link at the bottom of the post )

As it is, the pose looks a bit awkward. The way he's holding the gun just looks off with how long it is.

Yeah, I definitely feel like I made the gun too long. However, I only had one copy of the Cadian sniper rifle that provided the extended barrel/muzzle, and I'm wary of detaching it now that it's superglued in case I break it and have no back-up.

Superglue is usually very easy to break off, just pry back and forth with your fingers very slowly and it should snap at the seam.

It's pinned, so snapping it off isn't an option. I'm going to try to twist it off, though.
