Niether was lysander, though my old Belial was lysander. I want to use a tourney legal model, so alternatives were out. I like converting plastic figs, but I prefer w superb model to start with and Huron has what I like.<br />I am going full pimpage on this model. Sculpted lion hammer, fully winged, sculpted reaper angel shield and more. It's gonna be sick.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-47446079580195287592011-08-17T00:45:29.638-04:002011-08-17T00:45:29.638-04:00You ordered Huron, didn't you? :) As I read a...You ordered Huron, didn't you? :) As I read all the responses, and then your own saying that you owned Huron once already...

I had no ...Thank you a hundred times over everyone. I had no idea that when I posted this, I would recieve this much feedback. The links and the ideas tossed around have been helpful and are much appreciated.<br />I am still going to mess around with the plastic termies this evening, but I share the same concerns as some of you, which is that GK armor is just too different. Different isn't bad, so I am going to try a mock up or two this evening to see how I feel about it and to familiarize myself with GK armor.<br />No matter which route I go, I plan to use the Nemesis Daemon hammer from the GK terminators because I like the long shaft (thats what she said) and it gives me a large hammer to work my Green Stuff magic on. I plan to have his hammer be ornate and crafted so that the head is a lion's head.<br />With the exception of the Huron model (because he has nice pads already), the conversion will also include a hooded reaper on one shoulder pad and I plan for his Greaves to have some GS work as well.<br />The idea of ornamental wings has been tossed around as I like how it looks on some of the conversions I have seen, so I will likely mock it up and see how I like it once I get the final model under way.<br />So, those are the plans right now, just to give you all some ideas. I also plan to make hom magnetized so that I can switch out between claws and hammer as I get used to my army's performance at various point costs.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-44162941626025259482011-08-16T11:35:53.754-04:002011-08-16T11:35:53.754-04:00I really like that conversion using the black temp...I really like that conversion using the black templar bits.

I personally like his pose to start with and finecast would make it fairly easy to re pose. If I had to pick another I would say the fw model if I had time to wait. That lion shoulder is awesome for the master of the deathwing. Maybe a combo of the two utilizing that lion shoulder pad on a draigo base model?PG_Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166592603006281683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-3558411459233784432011-08-16T07:36:42.567-04:002011-08-16T07:36:42.567-04:00I used Stern -
