Hi, I'm looking to expand upon my thousand sons and want something other than exalted sorcerer to lead my cultists. I thought Mumm-Ra from Thunder Cats would be a good fit and cheesy baddie character.

I'm looking for a miniature that resembles this:


I was thinking using Magnus but a bit too pricey for me. The AoS Kairic Acolytes might be a good option but need a head choice.

Do you know of a miniature that would look similar. I could use a thousand sons exalted sorcerer but didn't want a marine - After the burning of Prospero once the thousand sons were teleported away, Rogue Traders and pirates looted Prospero. I imagine they awoken an ancient and terrible force long forgotten by the people of Prospero....

No idea what rules to use yet either!
The scale of the model doesn't really matter. Human size might not be Epic enough but Magnus size would take centre stage too much?

Awesome idea and reference pic! Unfortunately I have no ideas to help you.

Well . . . A Daemon Prince with some crafty conversion work might get you close. Decent scale too, and good rules.

I had a look but website says they are 25mm so might be a little small. Shame since they had some Egyptian themed models.

25mm scaled. Reaper do some huge models.

This guy might be what you're after.

Also, why is this in 40k background?

Best way is to hit the yellow triangle on the OP and ask in the box that pops up, or as in this instance hope a wandering MOD sees it!

Oh, and as I actually came here to post; Didn't Heroclix do the Thundercats? I am sure I remember seeing them somewhere.

Perhaps a Basti figure from Crocodile Games might do as a base? (The Basti are catlike humanoids who are followers of the Egyptian goddess Bast, who is cat-headed. There are also other "species" based on Egyptian deities in the Aegyptus line.)
