I recently acquired the Gorm expansion and excitedly set about building my survivors. The main complaint I have with the Kingdom death models is the lack of variety and expression on the male heads. The female heads are often more expressive and, well, just have better hair! So before I even received my Kingdom Death game I began purchasing heads from Ebay (a sentence that sounds really bad if quoted out of context). One of the heads I got was a Dark Elf head from the Dark Riders set, this head when tested worked perfectly with the Gorm armour set which is more 'evil' looking than some of the Core game sets, and so the 'gimp mask' head was discarded in favour of the Gorm Pirate!

I haven't painted my Gorm yet but I intend to give it dark skin so this dictated the colour of the armour and I decided to provide lighter areas using bone accessories. The cloth areas were painted purple (in hindsight this makes the model look a bit too dark elf). The model is built simply using the Gorm male legs and chest, the elf head, Gorm arms, and the acid knife and rib blade. The rib blade is posed strangely and it took me a while to find a pose that works due to the way the blade is being held by the attached hand.

I painted the skin a paler shade than normal to reflect the effects of the Gorm Climate and will carry this over to the rest of the Gorm survivors. The model has turned out looking relatively sinister but I doubt all survivors would be shining examples of virtue and if anything the ruthless would be more likely to survive. I have a number of other Survivors built and it is astounding how much swapping the heads improves the male models. I would 100% recommend it to anyone who is yet to build their survivors.
