After months of work, I've finally finished production of my custom Avitus figure (better known as Thrallslayer from Halo Wars).
This design went through a lot of iterations since I first started toying with the idea last year, after he lost the first fan vote to the Haunted Spartan. Originally I was aiming much closer to his Halo Wars design, but the new Halo encyclopaedia revealed that Avitus joined the Banished later in his life, so I decided to lean in that direction with creating his new armour.
Most of the parts I've used for his armour are from existing Banished brutes figures, dyed a darker shade of crimson. The spiked knee armour is 3D-printed, based on Tovarus' armour from Halo Infinite, while the helmet is also a custom 3D-printed part, which I designed based off of the helmet Escharum wears in Halo Infinite.
The head is 3D-printed using a design I created in Heroforge. The gravity hammer is also 3D-printed, based on the one Avitus uses in Halo Wars, with some slight modifications based on earlier concept art of that weapon.
