Dark World Creations' Sláine Mac Roth

By way of introduction, this is the background provided by DWC:

Sláine is a mighty, black-haired Irish warrior. . . . Once banished from the Sessair tribe, Sláine became a wanderer. He wandered the land seeking adventure armed with his axe, Brainbiter.  An unscrupu- lous dwarf called Ukko, who is his sidekick and chronicler, accompa- nies Sláine (note: I'd love for DWC to do a figure of Ukko!). In later stories, Sláine becomes the first High King of Ireland. 

The graphic novel Demon Killer by Pat Mills and the art of Glen Fabry inspired our Sláine.

Additional information can be found here.

Sláine Mac Roth is Dark World Creations' fourth release in their 2000AD series. 3-D sculpted by David Richardson, the 70mm figure actually measures 77mm in overall ht.: this is the "beefiest" of the DWC releases to date. The kit is comprised of 11 exquisitely cast pieces + the logo-ed base.

In my next posting, I will examine the design of the figure and provide a preliminary outline of my plans for it.
