S'syth Lord Muusmahtua Winged Serpent

From a time long before Aegyptian civilization comes the S'syth, ancient malevolent serpent beings seeking to regain lost glories as rulers of the Antediluvian world- at least in the fluff of WarGods. Ever since the mind-blowing reveal at the end of the Akhenaten Heresy World Campaign I've wanted to do some S'syth. This slight conversion (really just the addition of the wings) has been sitting partly painted for quite a long while.

The wings come from an old Celtos Dwarf Valkyrie mini. I wanted to have this monster evoke images of the Wedjet (winged cobra) but in a more disturbing way. 
The miniature itself is an old Ral Partha figure. It has a solid base that proved too difficult to remove so I used a chariot style base (50x100mm) with some textured paint and chunks of ruined temple bases to hide the original base. You might notice the slight slope around the S'syth now that you know what to look for.


I thought it would be fitting to show Muusmahtua with one of the "Priest of Aten Revealed" event minis from that awesome GenCon Campaign Finale.

And here we have Tebbi and Blackclaw getting mixed up with the S'syth Lord- that would be a pretty interesting fight.
