My Tuco Proxy - Or how I turned a demon hunter into a demon..

[Vidiot]

I just picked up the Exorcist the other day and if I squint a bit I thought I saw a little Tuco in him.. So I picked up my razor saw, chopped off his right arm and the top of his head, did a little hat and weapon swapping and some poorly done green stuff later (as well as adding a couple of oddly mounted horns) we have ourselves a passable Tuco while I wait till April for the actual release!

My Twins now have a new brother to play with tonight! Painting yet to come...

Tuco!

The horns are a bit off (well, more like WAY off) but thats the best my fat sausage fingers can manage while away from the rest of my Malifaux stuff. And please forgive the green stuff. My first attempt so I felt that I could manage arm. How wrong I was.. I bow to those of you that successfully sculpt with the stuff.

A very very nice conversion. Works perfectly as a tuco

Constructive criticism, (not that I could do any better, but it is always nice to evaluate these things ) is yeah, the horns, I'd be tempted to grab some WHFB spears or something out of your bits box, and cut just the tips off. With really small horns, you can just paint them a spot colour and they'll really stand out, offsetting their smallness.

Shotgun looks great :

yup, i agree on the horns; otherwise great base!

For the horns, I actually like what you have used, I'd just move them more central, atm they are on the brim which has no head under them so they look like they are growing out of the hat, not the head. If you shave down the sides, you should be able to get them so they look more natural.

Really nice base though... I also struggle with GS, so bravo for trying

Thanks for the input! The horns were tough to place since I was without tweezers when i was putting them on. I have more superglue on my fingers than i got on the horns. I threw the whole thing together pretty quickly yesterday in order to get him on the table for my game last night. I'll be tweaking the horns if I get some time.

Thanks for the compliments on the bases as well. I followed a similar theme with Lilith and the twins. Just some pieces of tree mulch I picked up from outside the local Lowes one day with some kitty litter (yes, it's clean) rubble. You can't see it in the pics but each base also includes a skull or two to tie them all together.

As for Tucos play style, I really like how he worked out last night. I got the chance to Taint Loyalty but have some questions as to what removing ones faction does to a guy.. I would have liked to try out his shotgun (with the possibility of a blast or two) but due to some bunched up models in the center of the table (both mine and my opponents) I didn't feel the potential risk to my models was worth the attempt. Maybe next time.
