Be'Lakor... what an awsome model - far outstrips that new deamon prince plastic kit!!! I think they pushed that bad boy out the design stage too quickly, the model doesnt look quite right to me. Be'Lakor will remain my favourite deamon prince, (maybe short of some foreworld models, but hes still the business :P)
And yes thats a stone from the yard lol (unpainted too)
Another model i was going to post here is a undevided sorcerer on a bike. i had a part made bike that arrived with an army i bought on the net. i was going to find a rider for it and finish it off.. then decided i would make a lord unit from it or something. Im not sure of the rulings on this but i dont do this hobby so i can use them in battle.. so that is not really my concern when making these converted guys!
So this model ended up as a sorcerer on a bike. I used an old schooly fantasy knight head and a new knight kit arm for the staff, with a small addition. Most of the other parts are standard bits. i didnt go too wild. i think for a good conversion u need to stay focused, and for the most part less is more. The Book of magic attatched to the rear of the bike is from a dark angels kit. I free handed some scribbles in a slaanesh type theme, but with the idea that different powers have different pages ;)
the next peice is a Giant spawn forgeworld model. i painted this as a commission about 3 years ago. but got let down by the customer. not cool at all! oh well... his loss!
I used a lid from a food container for the base. it was one of those freshly made soups u get in most supermarkets these days i think, quite sturdy and a good ridge around the outside which left a nice finish after I laid down the gravel etc. i built it up a fair bit to cover up the resin between his claws, making it appear virtually free if that nasty webfoot problem :P. i painted one in a nurgle scheme once too, another commission. i liked that one even more. and it took ages to remove the excess resin on that model so i decided to base this one! I'll dig out a picture of the nurgle one and post it here later
Heres the nurgle giant spawn i did as promised. i sold him for £80!
Lovin' that Daemon Prince!
