A while ago, I created a converted plague champion using a shell and various other parts. I've finally got around to painting him, and here's the final result.
There's plenty of detail in those Forge World parts, but less so in the green stuff parts. The basic approach was to use chestnut and black ink on a fleshy-coloured basecoat and work the colour up lighter from that starting point. For the most part, I'm reasonably pleased with the outcome. However, with hindsight, the shell should have probably remained unpainted. That was tricky since flecks of paint tend to get splattered during the painting process, so the shell got wholly painted in the end.

That's pretty cool. He's kind of like a genie, but in a shell. Hmmm... He could make for some very interesting Apocalypse rules - 3 wishes of death and destruction.
ReplyDeleteThat thing is absolutely manky! (In a good way!). Nice work there, how does he look with the rest of his squad?
ReplyDeleteThanks guys :)
ReplyDeleteItkovian -- I'll have to get a picture of him with his squad. I did have this crazy idea of doing 7 of these guys though....
All with different shells? That would be quite cool...
