I sent an email to Ron Saikowski of From the Warp fame to make up a Conversion model for Sarpedon, Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers. Well, Ron sent me the final images of the finished conversion and I think it rocks! After looking at the stuff on his site, I must say I was impressed! He didn't disappoint! Check it out. As soon as he arrives I will be painting him. Anyway check him out if you want to see more--> http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/

Plasticard.

I think he got the idea from this guy: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2009/07/soul-drinkers-chapter-master-sarpedon.html (Hint: himself)

That is a really cool conversion. Is it sad that I've never heard of Sarpedon until just seeing this thread?

He did get the idea from that guy, hehe... I have been basically just reading Black Library stuff for awhile and the Soul Drinkers Omnibus had just come out. I was also getting into the tabletop game and hadn't chosen a scheme for my SM yet. Well I decided I was going with Soul Drinker's. I have amassed a pretty large army now, and so I decided I needed a good conversion of Sarpedon. I looked up conversions and found the one you linked. I emailed him and he agreed to do it for me. As far as just hearing about Sarpedon, well there are a lot of SM chapters, it's all good.

Stunning and inspiring.

**nectarprime**

Awesome! Can't wait to see it painted. I hadn't even heard of this guy, pretty interesting character!

**oadie**

Hadn't heard of the character, either. Too busy drooling to bother looking him up, though. Fantastic conversion. You definitely chose the right man for the job.

**boredbeard**

That is beautiful...

I've built my SAG Big Mek based on Sarpedon's look...

...now I believe it has a new "master". Not exactly according to my plans or agreement... but hey? what can you do if someone likes it too much.
I just went for a quick smoke only... Ahh, emotions.

I really like this one - well balanced and clean conversion. Can we see it finished please?

Cheers.

**Lt. Coldfire**

Shame you didn't wait 9 more days to make it a 2-year threadomancy.

To answer your question, I posted a link to Ron's website a few posts above that shows a similar conversion that is painted by the man himself.

**boredbeard**

Ohh shut... I am sorry - I was just looking through topics...

Apologies.

Cheers.
