Tyrion Makes An Appearance In Tercio Creativo: 1650?
June 19, 2013 by brennon
If looks like the deadly Tyrion Lannister might be making an appearance in Tercio Creativo. Check out their final painted version of Degoyito below making a man feel very uncomfortable...
This deadly fellow might be small but he looks handy with a knife and I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him. He certainly deals with his enemies like Tyrion would!
The model itself is a pretty awesome sculpt and the paint job is superb too. I'd pick this up just to own it. I could also see him as a great Halfling Rogue for use in role-playing.
What do you think of him?

Yeah, I would think that some kind of dwarf character (someone with the medical condition of dwarfism, not the fantasy kind) would pop up in this game eventually, Game of Thrones not withstanding. This is 16th century Spain we’re talking about after all. The nobility of Western Europe had kind of a weird fascination with little people, keeping them in their household like pets for amusement. It was common for people with dwarfism to be traded like commodities amongst the noble houses of Europe, and the Spanish were particularly keen on the practice (French too).
Look at the paintings of Spanish royalty created between the 15th and 17th centuries and you will see a lot of dwarfs standing next to their masters. Perhaps the most famous is Velázquez’s Las Meninas, but there are a ton of others. The Spanish nobility was so fascinated by dwarfism that many nobles included their dwarfs in their personal portraiture to kind of show them off. It had a lot to do with the uniquely Spanish reaction to the renaissance, and the cultural tension that existed between our growing knowledge of the natural world (all the way throughout the Enlightenment) and the hardcore Catholic values of the Spanish (and French) nobility. It was, of course, a barbaric and often demeaning practice, essentially dehumanizing a class of people for looking different, but I would be kind of disappointed if a game taking place in a notional 16th century Spain didn’t include some dwarf models somewhere. It’s hard to imagine 16th century Spanish nobility without them.
17th century. For some reason I thought this 1550 and not 1650. It’s what I get for commenting before eating.
So who taught this deminutive gentleman the Vulkan Mind Meld? Its very creepy……Presumably he has bells on to stop him sneaking up on nobles and suprising them with his neck slicer.
Now thats one halfling that you would not want to meet in dark street.
