Khornate Champion
LET ME WARN YOU! This was my first real step towards eternal damnation! i laid my hands onto the nice resin mini shown below and suddenly strange voices whispered to me: "my, it looks good, does it, but you can do better, you know you can...."so i set about upgrading the beast with muscles, bony protusions, and horns, not to forget the quadruped add-on. this was fun and resulted in the finished piece shown above, but was a long, long pain to find a proper inspiration for in regards of painting and detailing; in the end i settled for a classical khornate palette of colours with the flayed look for the beastie and the flame/glow-on-black-metal for the knight. BUT, since doing this sculpting job, however, the voices won´t leave me, as everytime i see a mini, or even think about one it goes "good mini, but you must change it, you want it yourself, just do it"... as net result there has been since three major "freehand" sculpts, namely Slaine´s stag, the monstrously large Daemon Lord, and a work in progress ork warbeast, all of which are on show... let me again stress this: converting is just the beginning, be careful, as it ultimately leads to uncontendedness with ANY mini sculpt, and in the end sheer madness, trust us, we know it.... now i´m off, i have recently had the vision of sculpting a 28mm version of Khorne himself on his throne upon a mountain of skulls "Do it, yes, yes, you want it, too, easy job for you , do it, DO IT......!" urgh, you have been warned.....
