After all, the first thing you buy him in the game is a helmet, so why isn't his mini wearing one? How about Ballin's Armor? It would seem to me that when equipped for a dungeon crawl, he would look more like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first Conan movie after he armors up in preparation for the ambush.
My vision of an armored Barbarian includes pieces of gladitorial armor. Many figs sport this look. I call it "piece armor" in my house rules armory.

It would seem that I need to remove the existing bases (not easy?) and set them on GW bases? Or do I just buy green stuff, sink them in a wad and sculpt the base? Is GW green stuff okay to use for this?
You should check out
this thread from the Hobby Room of the Inn.

At that point I'd like to take to the forest (a midnight moonlit forest) for a few quests before diving into Kellar's Keep. I've got a Reaper Bones werewolf painted and I'm thinking that Prince Magnus has ordered the forest be cleared and the werewolf (or werewolves) destroyed. No big rules additions should be required for the forest board, just some common sense substitutions. "Closed Doors" are dark/unlit path tiles which become lighted paths (open doors) once the adjacent space is occupied, etc. You could insert this particular quest anywhere, as the reward can be the otherwise not so great silver weapons you must use to kill the werewolf. I thought I might have this one ready for a get together near Halloween, but there is so much to do… New monsters like a band of gnoll marauders, wolves, dire wolves, river trolls... New "furniture" like: trees, rocks, giant mushrooms, giant tree stumps, random ruins, dung piles, treasure hordes, graves, druidic items… I just hope to have enough done to pull together one quest next year.
This sounds interesting. As you develop it, feel free to post your progress in the
"What are you working on today" thread of the Lobby.
