Final Entry: Wight King Battle Standard

Here's my BSB conversion.

Made from:
TK skeleton warrior legs (poor bugger was already pained and everything)
40k space marine shoulder bits (not sure what they actually are. I don't play SM)
40k chaos terminator chain-loincloth (I had to shorten this by cutting a piece out of the middle and re-joining, filling the gap with green stuff)
Skeleton warrior rear-torso
GG chestplate
TK charioteer head (the one with a crown)
Skeleton warrior banner-pole
GG hand weapon (left arm)

Here is the finished image (without banner attatched, I needed to basecoat before I attatch banner, so this is the final pic because he can't be painted to submit)
[img=800x600]http://doubleones.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/p1010215.jpg[/img]

Below are two *extra* images of the finished model after basecoating so I can show with the banner attatched. Not part of my submission.

2. There he is at 50%. the armour is pretty much finished. note the flayed faces on his right upper leg and left knee.

3. Well, its cold in the northrend, and this guy just had the luck that he found a Fell Bat to skin and to ornament himself with :Vampire1:

4. FINAL ENTRY:grave:. Note the curled wing on his chest.

I Wish all the competitors the best of luck, since every one needs it alot, so it seems!

[Disciple of Nagash]

[Normal]

Here´s my entry for this season Golden Bat - SOUL CART (aka Corpse Cart). No paint. The resin I use for the ectoplasm is naturally white. If needed, a more complete WIP can be found in my plog ( https://www.vampirecounts.net/thread-7355-post-154770.html#pid154770 ), more pics there!

[Mioum]

Here's my converting entry!

This will be a Ghouls conversion to go along my Lahmian army theme. Lahmian army need more femal models, and I found a suitable replacement for Ghouls that would otherwise not fit well with the theme.

Lots of work and definitly not cheap, but worth the trouble to me

Final Entry:

[Disciple of Nagash]

I would have never have thought of that- a really effective conversion Mioum. They look great and I would imagine they will look even better painted.

 

[Mioum]

Thanks a lot A lot of trial and error was made to get to this (not every kit was released when I started), I worked a lot before getting something I was happy with! Only half of the unit is made though, so I need another 14 of those before starting painting them!

Thanks for the kind words

The bits used are:
The resin parts are from Ramshackle Games - There are bits from different veichle sets and the wraith is from one of their figure sets.
See here for details: http://www.ramshacklegames.co.uk/
The other parts used are all from GW - There is an empire head for the engineer in the turret, some old skaven doom wheel bits and the black coach set.

 

[Richie]

Here's mine, not expecting any kind of win because of the bad photos and the fact she still needs work.

Also here's a more detail "part way through" WIP.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

OK here is my extended Coach, hopefully the pictures are up to the requirement:

The earliest picture of the project:

WIP before I started adding green stuff:

Final pictures:

The work done is mainly a cut of the Coachs 4 basic parts in to 15 parts where I discarded 1 (the symbol on the top of the Coach) and then added them together with a wider span in all four directions to make the coffin shape intact but in a bigger version. The length of the intended base is still the same 50x150.
The horses have been exchanged for horses from the Gamezone Mournful Knights.
Due to the extension the gaps had to be filled up, started with GW:s movement tray and GF9:s magnet sheets I made the foundation for the areas where green stuff would be added.
Green stuff have been added to the horses saddle to extend the cloth that cover the body. It have also been used to except fill gaps as modelling material for the 4 new panels and to create the roof if the coach where a copy of the coffin lids symbol.
