And now the order has arrived. There was much rejoicing.
Upon inspecting my new parts, one question springs to mind.
As is evident from looking at Medusa standing next to a normal gladiator, the gorgons are giants. A normal sized human's height only reaches about the start of her ribcage. Her sister Stheno is the same size as Medusa.
Something different about Stheno is that she is carrying a severed head, the blood from which drips into a bowl. Gruesome.
As the gorgons are almost twice the size of a normal human, but normally proportioned, their limbs and heads are also of increased size. Obviously. And the thing that makes me pause is that Stheno's severed head is in proportion with Stheno. In other words, the severed head she is carrying is twice the size of a normal human head.
So... whose head is this? Did she cut the head off another giant? Or is the head maybe not a real physical head, but more of a grim spectral manifestation? A ghost head?
For the purposes of modeling and painting... I have to decide whether to keep the giant head, or try and find one of those old GW severed heads that came in their ork packs, which look exactly the same as Stheno's head, but human-sized. If I do that, Stheno will look like she is carrying a tiny head. Which is exactly what she would be doing, if she had cut the head off a human, since she is huge.
