Urbad & his younger, more handsome(?) brother Cionaodh

Well I'm in a what I suspect is a both enviable, and common position.... Multiple Urbads.
Now Mierce has said it will be possible to field a unit of Oghurithne in the future, but the sculpt is too characterful and recognisable to drop multiples on the table without it looking a bit 'off'
So what to do ? Convert and modify of cource!
So I started work on putting together Cionaodh, Urbads younger, more handsome brother. Now I'm not really a sculptor so I've got to work with what I've got, but tweek it enough to make a distinct second Oghurithne so this is what I decided to do
First I've removed and repositioned his left foot as I felt Urbad looked to be walking with a bit of a limp, Cionaodh will stride straight and true
Second I've added more of a neck, raising Cionaodh's head off his chest.
Third as a younger brother I felt Cionaodh deserved to keep at least some of his hair, so he's got some long greasy hair on the back of his head
Urbad's snaggle toothed mouth is very recognisable, so I've replaced it with a closed mouth for Cionaodh, and also trimmed his eyebrows to remove Urbad's mono-brow
Finally I've repositioned his right arm and hand slightly, and replaced Urbad's stone axe with what will become either a staff, spear or harpoon (not sure which yet, it may well depend on what I can make look good)
Still to do properly is to remove a lot of the carving from Cionaodh's magic rock (as it's not as 'fancy and powerful as his brothers)
So Urbad the Older brother
and Cionaodh the Younger brother (work in progress)
what do you think?
