Evil Horde - Hordak

Hordak is the evil tyrant ruling Etheria and main villain opposing She-Ra with his Evil Horde. Skeletor's erstwhile mentor, they are now bitter enemies and while temporary alliances are not unheard off, they invariably end in betrayal on one end or the other, usually both. He has the ability to transform his arms into a variety of mechanical weapons, the most famous being a cannon arm.


The model is a resin figure part of a limited release private commission and sculpted by the talented Boris Woloszyn. The pictures make the colours out to be slightly more dull than reality. The action shot with Slime Monster He-Man and Skeletor is a closer representation of the colours. The base texture was sculpted in putty over a plastic lipped base and painted in red as my default colour for Horde characters.

    1. It's a great model, the only thing while painting it is I got the feeling his colour scheme is too "safe" compared to the wacky colours of many of the earlier characters.

    1. It was a limited private commission. Drop me a line on facebook, account Whyte Knight, with Skeletor in the profile pic, and I'll see if I can help you get one.

  3. I note that you have mentioned 'private commission' a number of times on your blog. Have you ever mentioned who they were from (Boris?), as I am sure there might be many curious viewers who would be interested in knowing. Thanks!
