InfamousChicken Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Well I was down at the LGS and I found what looked like the perfect model to convert Ashes and Dust from. A couple hours of sawing, filing and converting later, I had what looked like excellent proxies for Ashes and Dust. . . And then I saw they're height of 2 :doh: Oh well! Hope you enjoy! Also, before I get them primed and based, any suggestions on improvement or painting? I can see I need to work on Leveticus as well!

mistercactus Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Pretty cool. What did you use for the dust cloud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfamousChicken Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I used a DnD mini: Thunderblast Cyclone from Against the Giants. It was a pain to saw off the base. It has a hard plastic plug holding the softer plastic of the cyclone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishLuvah Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 That's really nice. Where did the grey plastic bits come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfamousChicken Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks for the compliments! All the bits are from 40k. The skulls are from the Ork Biker box. The shoulder pads/base of the core are ork shoulder pads. The claws are Lightning Claws from the Chaos Terminator Lord box. The dragons and the top of the core are from the Chaos vehicle sprue. The arms are just wires. Overall the model is pretty cheap to convert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The cyclone is similar to the idea I had for mine, though I would be using a yelowish resin and adding some irrdescent medium for that sand storm sparkle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfamousChicken Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 If I had the time/skills to do something like that I would, but I don't. I will be painting the cyclones though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireTrollJake Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Sweet conversion. Is there an actual date on the Wyrd sculpt yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Looks awesome. Nicely done. Wyrd said at GenCon that the plan was for all Book 2 models to be released by October. So I expect to see A&D officially in September or October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
