"Makeda has risen in the skorne peoples hour of need as a peerless leader whose vision of their mutual destiny has inspired her soldiers to ever greater efforts. Makeda has vowed to impose order and forge the seeds of a new nation. Solidarity will be the key to rising from the ashes and leading an empire which spans the continent. Any who defy her conviction will fall to the wayside or feel her boots trampling them underfoot."
So, the big thing I wanted to do with Epic Makeda was make her appear a little more "feminine" at first glance. Not easy to do with the Skorne, but I think I managed.
So, a note on the lack of "Epic" bases... the Hordes Epic Warlocks were all originally concepted to be on epic bases, but the price of metal simply would have made them waaaay to costly for the consumer so we decided on deep sixing the the bases. I know some have been disappointed with this decision, but trust me - your wallet will thank you in the end.
Phenomenal artwork! You nailed Makeda spot-on, and she looks much more like a proud commander (not to mention feminine) than her old version did. I just wish the sculptor had followed your lead more closely, especially in the face department. I'm pretty sure your original didn't include the note, "Chin = Jay Leno."
Best regards!
