Love the gargoyle. Like the Valenar Nomad Charger. I just worry thats its weapon will be all bent up like most thin weapons. Hey maybe WOTC could take some of the profit from the price increase and use it to fix that problem. Like make the weapons (spears, etc.) out of hard plastic. Also agree with everyone else double weapons are lame.

1. • The base model (the model being converted) must be a Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures model.
2. • Base models must remain easily identifiable. A player must be able to tell what each model is on first glance at the battlefield.
3. • Additional equipment (including weaponry) may not be added to a model if that equipment is not represented on the model’s stat card. For example, a player may not add a crossbow to a model that doesn’t have a ranged attack.

Rule 3 above says that additional equipment may not be added to a model if that equipment is not represented on the model's stat card.  If you cut off part of the weapon, it is not an addition, so that modification should be fine.  However, if you were to add a lance, a bow, a two handed weapon, or some other weapon, a judge might have room to disqualify you for using such a figure in a tourney setting.

This is a minor issue, but something to consider.
