I stole the idea for the Heldrake and gave it a little of my own touch. Hope you like it.

Interesting take on the modeling aspect, and your actual painting is excellent! I'm a big fan of the pink basing, it really contrasts with the Drake and his base. The red wires coming out of the neck are weirdly unsettling too. Great job!

That's very nice. Can you take more pics of the body and can you write a list of the bits used? Thanks.

So good. Thanks so much for posting it.

nurgle helldrakes usually don't look very nurgl-ee...this one succeeds greatly. nice job!

Wow that is a very cool model!

I'm unsure if I like the pauldrons or not yet. Everything is so slick and awesome and the pauldrons stick out a bit.

Your painting and modeling, especially the base, is incredible. Very well done. Thanks for sharing!

BEST. HELDRAKE. EVER.

Not ONLY did you do an amazing conversion on the wings, not ONLY did it come with a spectacular paint job, but you've ALSO concealed the damned flight rod! The single worst aspect of miniature wargaming is those thrice cursed clear acrylic rods, and this is the first time in forever I didn't notice the damn thing until I started looking for it! Mind boggling.

Thanks all for the kind words.

The base has flickering lights on the interior too to shine on the Lord inside.

Parts wise....
Main body and wings - Warhammer Zombie Dragon and Nurgle Chaos Lord
Head and legs - Mauler/Forgefiend
Feet - Heldrake claws
Shoulder pads - Deamon Prince
Nurglings - Plaguebear's kit
Chains - Chaos tank sprue

The base is cork board, Evergreen Plastic I beam, GW City Fight terrain, Seacret Weapon Leaves.
The acrilic rod I was given by a friend many years ago when I had the idea of making a flyer before GW/Forgeworld came out with flyers.


Thanks again for looking.
