Right. It's been a while since I posted some of my stuff. While I have been a bit slow to do paint and such during the summer, there has been some progress at least. I'll put up some pics of painted stuff later. For now, I'll be focusing on my current project, a heavily converted Seer Council.
First up, the only warlock that comes in two pieces. I cut off a part of the arm and rebuilt it with green stuff to change the angle of his sword. Used a rune from a Guardian catapult, I think, to help cover some of the remains I couldn't file away properly without damaging the detailing. This one I consider finished.
This one is pretty much finished, I might try to add a little detailing to the right sleeve and the headband holding the hair.
This one is built on pieces from the guardian sprue, DA sprue, head from the War Walker, and some High Elf bitz I'm not entirely sure of where they're from. The triple-slit skirt probably needs some more attention...
A Banner-man is of course needed! The banner is from the High Elf Archers sprue. Since he then lost his witchblade, I added a Dire Sword from the DA-sprue to his back. I used a part from the sheated short sword on the DA-sprue to act as a "fastener". The idea is that it is psyko-reactive and releases the sword when he grabs the hilt. I consider this one as finished.
The right arm is from some High Elf thing or other, the dagger from some Dark Elf-sprue. I was given those bitz by a friend and don't know their origin. This one is finished.
I have two of this model and I'm working on this one too. I consider it pretty much finished, I need to base him properly in style with the others. And I'm thinking about doing something with the left arm/hand too.
This one is pretty much finished I think... Not too much to add really...
For this one, I'm currently drawing a blank when it comes to the right arm. I'd like to use an arm with an empty hand, as the spear looks a lot like a naginata, but I have nothing in my bitz-box atm, and no ideas. Help me out please!
The given leader of the council! The idea is partly based on the conversion shown in the old 3rd ed Codex, but I didn't have it nearby when I stared. Which led me to removing the arms entirely, causing a lot of headache when working on the right arm supporting the sword. The hand and hilt is from the banner-man, and the rest of the arm is a Dire Avenger gun arm cut in two at the elbow to make the angles meet. I'm really liking how this one is turning out. I plan to make armour-plates under the shoulder-pads like on the new Farseer-models. There is some detailing and fixing to do as well, especially on the right arm.
One thing I'd like to ask is suggestions. If there is anything you see in the pictures that you think could improve on what I've done so far I'd love to hear it. I have the other Farseer model from the old Seer Council box waiting, and I don't really know what to do with him. I'm leaning towards just adding armour-plates under his shoulder pads in style with the newer Farseer-sculpts. Also, any ideas for the left arm on the Farseer-model I have two of? Or a suitable right arm for the warlock with the naginata-spear?
