Lufgt Huron, Lord of the Maelstorm, Tyrant of Badab, Master of the Red Corsairs, THE BLACKHEART

Lufgt Huron, Master of the Tiger Claws and Lord of Badab was first mentioned at the mythic White Dwarf #101 where the history of the Badab War was first told. In those years the Tiger Claws was the original chapter of the Master of Badad instead of the Astral Claws as were finally renamed for the second edition.

Original color scheme of the Lufgt Huron chapter as shown in the White Dwarf #101

"The Tiger Claws were all but destroyed. Only a contingent of about two hundread fought their way through the Exorcists' blocade and scaped into deep space. They have not been heard of since. Of the fate of the Tiger Claws and Tyrant of Badab, nothing is know."

Nothing was known until the second edition of the game when Lufgt Huron appeared again as Huron Blackheart, Lord of the Red Corsairs and Master of the Maelstrom.

No figure of Huron Blackheart was made since then until almost ten years later. Maybe the reason for this was that the intention for Red Corsairs was to be a Chapter made of conversions based on Chaos and Imperial marines. A renegade army closer to the initial concept of renegades from the Rogue Trader era (before this dark days... before the empire!)

I've used an Space Wolf sergeant as basis for the conversion. The right arm of the figure was substituted and now carries a modified Space Marine Power Axe. The Claw of the Tyrant was made using a Power Glove with RTB01 knives in the fingers and a pair of Hand Flamers on the top. Green stuff was modeled on several parts of the figure such the Bionic Eye, the fur of the chest, some addons on the boots. an Skull belt buckle...

The main of the Servoarmor looks in the original Tiger Claws color scheme but with red parts as Master of the Red Corsairs. The cloak and the fur has been painted with tiger stripes.

The man of the barbecue

He is evil, red and tiger striped!!!

When it's cold this cloak is very useful.

 The only shoulder pad of the Tyrant was painted in two colors, red and black. After this, was decorated with tiger stripes in the black side and an ultra small Tiger Claws chapter Symbol on the center.
