Introducing the two latest additions to my collection of customs: Chieftains Ballas and Deukalion from the Shadows of Reach book. Details on these guys are fairly sparse, so I had a lot of freedom to get creative.
Deukalion leads a band of raiders known as the Legion of the Corpse Moon, who wear black armour with silver trim.
The book describes Deukalion as being tall, even for a Jiralhanae, with green eyes and a custom gravity hammer called Black Death. I used some CoD and Destiny parts to make his arms and legs a bit longer, to give him the added height he needed. Unfortunately Mega hasn't made any black-only brute armour, so there's still some hints of the crimson decals on his chestplate and helmet.
Ballas, meanwhile, leads a group called the Ravaged Tusks, who wear crimson armour and are renowned as smugglers and slavers.
Ballas was definitely the more difficult of the two for me to figure out, with the book describing him as being short and stocky for a Jiralhanae, but also broad, being almost as wide as he is tall. There wasn’t much I could do to reduce his height except swap out his legs with some shorter upper thigh pieces from a TMNT figure. The book also makes mention of him having a rounded head, so I decided to use the older style piece for him.
