Barded skeletal steed c&c welcome =)

[Josef]

Okay well been holding this guy back till I got a few moments to paint him. But one of the other models I got at the swap meet this one for 50 cents was a barded skeletal steed I dont know where its from but I love it and since I could only find one I made it the mount for my WK BSB.

here are the pics what yall think?

That is the Red Duke's Skeletal Steed, nice paint job I like the highlights on the blue cloth area of the barding.

Can be bought from the VC collectors section on the GW site. I'm considering buying one, should make a great looking WK with a head and sword swap.

cool and ty yea ill be putting up pics tomarrow dont wanna wake the baby with lights.

Nice work as always Josef.

Thanks Crimson, I was wondering where that horse came from as well, a friend of mines gave me 3 and a half of those mounts from his bits box. He didn't know where he got them from, but he knew they were old oop gamesworkshop undead mounts.

I'm not sure what I can do with 3 and a half of them, if I had 5, I would have probably made a blood knight conversion. Considering that the model at GW sells for $20, if I bought two, I might as well just buy a real blood knights box, can get them on ebay for about $60 with free shipping.

I'm not sure what I can do with 3 and a half of them

sell them?

I'm sure there are many people who'd love one of these for a WK on barded skeletal steed......

I would very much like one of those horses, it is probably the best undead skeletal steed IMHO.

 

[Pureblood]

If I decide to sell them you will be the first person I go to Disciple. I just don't like dealing with the post office so I have never sold anything online. I have actually let the warranties on a couple of expensive electronics go to waste because I didn't want to send them in for warranty. It's a bad habit and character flaw on my part.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Are you in the UK then? So am I, so if you do decide to sell I'm definitely interested.

 

[Pureblood]

Apparently we aren't even on the same continent. I'm in the states. My sister was in London a couple of months ago, too bad I didn't know you then, could have had her drop it off, haha. I've had plenty of friends online from the UK, I love you British folk.

 

[Josef]

Well here are the pics of my converted WK what yall think?

 

[curryoflife]

I like it a lot, but his legs seem kind of naked...try gsing some armor or something over them, if you can, but even if you cant, its still good.

 

[The Dark Sheep]

I agree with curryoflife.
If you buy a metal black knight model next time you're at GW, you should be able to seperate the legs and torso. Thus you could give your WK some special treatment...

But it looks perfectly good exept for that.
