Krootox Conversion
This is the GW Krootox for Tau and my first picture on this site. It has som minor conversionwork done to it. Firstly, it's left arm is bent upwards, mainly with brute force. The hand is opened and was a bit severed in the process. I did a futile attempt on correcting this with greenstuff. The rider is also a bit converted. While his legs are the original, the upper body, head and arms are from a plastic carnivore. I cut the big gun to fit the handle of the samll one, wich was attatched to his right arm. A little greenstuff, and there's a leather-strap-something he grabs with his left arm. The rider is painted like the rest of my kroot, basecoat Codex Gray, drybrush Space Wolves. All metals are Mithril with a Flesh Wash on. Quills are Chaos Black and Red Gore. The oxe's skin is painted with succesively lighter dryprushes. Colours are Chaos Black, Codex Gray, and Space Wolves Gray in a mix I can never reproduce. Leathers are different mixes of Dark Flesh, Vermin Brown, Snakebite and Bleached Bone. Also note the Red Gore markings. And yes, Right-Above-Table-Top-Quality-Studios is something I made up while writing it The background of the picture might be coloured strangly on some monitors... I still don't master Photoshop. And because the pic has to be under 100k the quality is poor, it's not my colours that are too dry. The skin of the ox is actually very smooth, even if I drybrushed it. Please comment.
