The chains are getting a weathering powder rust treatment as well. <br /><br />I am thinking of putting a space wolf or Imperial Fist torso on the base with a rusty chain bursting from either his chest or mouth ... we'll see.<br /><br />Tim, It's nice to have the wife around for an outside opinion. She keep me sane when I am not sure where to go with something.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-20447140509930389822012-01-05T16:35:38.693-05:002012-01-05T16:35:38.693-05:00Seriously solid converting and thought put into th...Seriously solid converting and thought put into that model, OST. I can't wait to see him painted and used in a game!!!<br /><br />...you are going to bring him painted to use in a game at Adepticon, right? ;)<br /><br />I've also got to love the fact that your wife's advice influenced the model.

I think the model would benefit from being tilted forward in its floating position, that way he would appear to be moving forward.Matthew Ochshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663207243054736532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-42278249780735949552012-01-03T11:20:06.091-05:002012-01-03T11:20:06.091-05:00Very cool - I'm definitely liking how it's...Very cool - I'm definitely liking how it's coming along, really looking forward to seeing what it looks like painted!

The twin energy balls/ spirits are perfect and give the model a dynamic feel. I like how you filled the hood too and the whole model looks seemless, which should be the goal of any conversion.<br /><br />You're on the right track, make a great looking army, then worry about the rules. I'll see you in the the front row, now let's hope the rumors live up to the truth!TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-34801030328407725512012-01-03T08:41:55.389-05:002012-01-03T08:41:55.389-05:00Hey there, OST!

He seems to be in a very Ominous position, like he's ready to cast some nice, nice magic (Lash, anyone?! :)) the new Codex will bring. Excellent job! <br />Also, It was very nice to see a fellow 40k'er getting ready for the Codex release upfront its lauch. I was starting to think I was rushing into things, but I do feel better now. Thanks :D<br /><br />My aim is to re-do all my army from scratch. I sold pretty much everything I got to have enough money to do the whole thing custom made this time. Chaos will be getting his much deserved top position again, and I want to be in the show Front Row. I know it's heavy and sometimes expensive work, but it's paying itself with the tons of fun I'm having in the process of figuring out every single detail of this monster project. Hoard is basically providing me all my army. They are awesome!<br /><br />What caught my attention in your post is that we used a very similar approach to do our Sorcerers... I also used the Manticore Lord, but mixing some non GW bits to give it a different feel. I really don't know how people tend to accept this kind of stuff (tourneys, for starters!), but I do aim to have a very top good looking army at the tabletop first than anything. Having said that, would you care to take a quick look into what I did for some feedback?
