Post subject: | Re: Montizzle's conversions and other works in progress |
This is my goat rider captain conversion. He is supposed to look like he'd fit in with a Durin's folk army, and I would say I was successful in that regard. I did a head swap with a khazad guard, filed down the shoulders a bit to be better canvasses for heraldry, added a shield from the plastic Durin's folk box, a cape from the Easterling Kataphrakt box, and arm swapped with one of the iron hills dismounts I bought to represent this guy and his soldiers on the tabletop. He will get more paint, he hasn't received layering yet. Basing will done too, but I have never prioritized bases over painting, so please don't expect miracles.

The colors of the warband/house he is associated with really make him look like a dark age warrior out of legend. Converted Goat rider captain by robertmontag, on Flickr This view will soon include some unique to him unit insignia marking him as a veteran of past campaigns with other units. I decided he will represent specifically my troop commander from Afghanistan. One rider will likewise represent one fella I served with in Iraq. Converted Goat rider captain by robertmontag, on Flickr This is the best view of the head swap, which I initially thought was necessary to tie the goat riders to the Durin's folk army I already have, but the khazad guard helmet is so similar to the iron hills it may have been wasted effort. This is also the best view of the one pauldron I ave already painted. Since the troops don't have shields, and the army is based on my old army unit (and associated units) I thought the shoulders were a great place for heraldry. Please feel free to comment or critique my minis, while it is not finished (WIP thread, right?) and I am not the best, I will try to make it better. If you have any neat ideas for conversions too, I'd love to hear them. |

Thank you! I am awfully fond of warpaint. My Sauron has stripes, Elfhelm's horse has Plains Indian horse markings (the other Rohirrim will to eventually), and eventually when I get sons of eorl they will get warpaint on their faces. |
