Ngila G'rnt

I've just received Euryalia, Queen of Ker-Ys from Maelstrom Games. She is the tenth release in their BaneBeasts series.

While she is an intriguing character, doubtlessly inspired by some of Clive Barker's fantastic creations, I did not acquire her to make a tortured Cenobite. Rather she is to be the base figure upon which I will develop my interpretation of Ngila G'rnt, Green Lantern of Sector 542.


The character of Ngila did not exist prior to the cinematic debut of the Green Lantern, though she was featured in "Emerald City", the second story in the Green Lantern Movie Prequel: Hal Jordan.

But lest we get ahead of ourselves, a quick review of Euryalia. Save for the fact that some of the molds are fast approaching the time for replacement, this kit is everything you would expect from a Bane-Legions offering. Which means that although some of the 11 pieces comprising the kit are not quite as "clean" as one has come to expect, they are still beautifully cast. And all the vital, deeply undercut detail is crisp and clean! In fact, the worst part of this project will be eliminating much most of that sublime detail!

The oven timer just went off, so I will leave you with this little teaser and let you do some digging on the Web, as I go back to Thanos. . .
