Rune kirjoitti: Right'o!

So, I've been wanting to try out a captasus of my own for a long time now, and you can't believe for how long I've had the materials at hand. About 4-5 years ago my friends bought me Balthasar Gelt as a birthday present, and even though I've lost the man himself a long ago, the mount has been (in pieces, though) around my boxes and corners from that time. I tried to fir the wings to my Nurglish Exalted Champion once, but thank Sigmar didn't in the end. :-) Now, I started the conversion about... 4 months ago, perhaps, and did it over and over again, planned like there was no tomorrow and must've ruined about 3 whole models during that time.

At last I finished it, straight out of the blue, and began painting it. The pegasus itself is soon painted (I can't figure what I'm going to do with the wings, though...), and I started the base. I'm not going to finish it yet (with either grass or snow), since I'm not yet positive wether if I should add him to my Grandbelos or Wolfenstein. The Cult would certainly need some boost, which a captasus would offer, and it actually has some hero slots unused, which isn't a priviledge Grandbelos can offer at the moment. And, the Imperial Empire is more of a shooting infantry army anyways. But I'll have to wait for the NEB in any case.

However, here's a collage of the finished conversion before undercoating. Below there are pics of the present state of the miniature.

The parts I used are as follows:
-Balthasar Gelt's pegasus
-legs from a plastic knight, severly cut and with a tabard stuffed over
-a few bags from a space marine
-head from the sixth edition soldiers command sprue
-bretonnian battle pilgrim torso (a lot of sawing and dremeling. But, I just recently learned how to cut things apart, so why not use the skill?)
-Bretonnian lance and right arm
-Empire knight's shield
-a piece of bark from the backyard, and a few pebbles

So, here he is. Any comment is apriciated. Generally, thus far I'm pretty pleased with him. He turned out better than I thought, but with that lot of sweating, weeping, replacing and work, I don't think I would've accepted less. With my experience and converting skills, I'm happy with how he turned out. Now I just have to finish the painting.

Ja taisin nähdä tuon tämän viikon torstaina kun pelasit fantsussa.

Siis, kun maalailet sillä pari hutaisua, pensselihän aina alkaa "leviämään", jolloin sitä pitää kastella uudestaan, jotta se pystyisi säilyttämään "tarkkuutensa". Itselläni alkaa olemaan jo sen verran kulunut, ja haroittunut pensseli, että se alkaa olemaan parempi tuohon drybrushailuun, kuin esim. Silmien värittämiseen.
