yep, he's Guts, central character of the manga Berserk.
The grim darkness of the setting is 100% fitting. ;)

Yea. My friend is a massive berserk fan, so when I saw that miniature on Hard-Core Miniatures, I knew I had to grab it for him. He was happy with it, has plans to incorporate it into a Ravenguard army eventually.

Personally I felt that Black Templar would be more appropriate, but whatever. His army, his choice.
 
Ok, years ago (we're talking about 8th edition), i had bought a large 2nd hand army of necrons, with many good models but also with a box of scattered pieces and incomplete models, including some old necron warriors with no green rod).

specifically, there were 3 incomplete tomb blades, missing the weapons, the riders and many details:

Long story short, i picked the old warriors, trimming their legs and the left arm, gluing them as rider, and put some new gauss rifle as weapons (spared bits from the new warriors' kit). the cable from the new heavy destroyer kit has been used as left "arm"

Are they perfect?
well, no... but they are decent enought, instead of a brand new kit at the cost of 47 Euros...

Love it. Love it.

Even if I never used it in an army (if I ever play 40k, it's as Tau), I'd have it as a battlefield centrepiece. Perhaps to be the objective of the battle - secure the oversized gun so that the other guy doesn't :p. Or if feeling daring: as a control point with mechanics - the army that has control of it gets to make a single random attack that deals however many mortal wounds at the beginning of the round (lets go with d3 mortal wounds on a random target within a certain distance).

Considering it's a Lord of War comparable to a Reaver Titan in footprint, it probably wouldn't work well as an objective.

Fine if you're playing Apocalypse, but, like any other so-called 'Lord of War', shouldn't be in ordinary games of 40K. Things like this are one of the reasons why I stayed at 5th and 6th, when broken stuff like this could only be fielded in Apocalypse games, when everyone expected you to field broken things like it.
