Here’s what I’ve been working on recently (aside from the Space Wolves army, obviously).
Bretonnian Pegasus Knight
A straightforward model with no conversions, just a simplistic paintjob. I’ve almost completed his pegasus too.
Duel in the Desert
This is going to be a diorama, featuring a Dark Eldar warrior pouncing on a wary Imperial Guard trooper. The Dark Eldar has been pinned to the base at this point, and while the base has been painted (but not completed) the warrior is only undercoated (as is the Imperial canteen). The Dark Eldar miniature required a fair bit of conversion work – the left leg was cut and repositioned to create a running stance (those of you who have seen the Dark Eldar Warriors know they look pretty static) and sculpted back to resemble a leg with greenstuff. Additional icons were added (barbed stripes to match the other leg and a skull-kneepad) to the leg. The left arm is a standard arm from the sprue but the right arm is heavily converted and repositioned. It’s actually the arm holding a Shredder (or Blaster or whatever the Dark Eldar Heavy Weapons are called), with the weapon carefully removed, leaving just the fist (luckily Dark Eldar weapons apparently don’t have triggers…) and the guard. I then added the blade (taken from the same sprue) and a tiny skull (from my bitz box, I think it originally came from a Chaos sprue) as the knife’s pommel. The head is a standard Dark Eldar head although I shaved the stupid-lloking topknot and ponytail off.
The IG trooper will be added later, as he’s being painted separately for simplicity’s sake.
