Quick WIP shots of my Wight King. I'm doing this kit for another model contest, but to help it stand out, I've decided to do a little something extra to it. The goal behind this kit is to make him "transform" from the old skeleton/wight creature into the man he once was. I have picked up the head of a Reiksguard Knight to put into the cowl, which will be the main focal point of the kit, where the skull morphs into flesh. I plan to dremel out about half of the skull and slip the head of the Knight into the spot. Thanks for looking!!!

Got the Reiksguard head in, and have been doing lots, and lots, and lots, and then lots more, sanding and dremeling to get the head to fit. I basically took the smallest attachment I could find and hollowed out half of the skull from the king, and then dremeled down as much of the Reiksguard head as I could. It got to the point it was so small I couldn't use the dremel anymore, so its been slow going with needle files at this point. I had to angle the back of the Reiksguard head so it fit into the cowl like a slice of pie. Sand a bit, test fit, rinse repeat, and this is where I am. I've also taken the dremel to the sword and the shield to weather the model a bit more as well.

Trying to figure out how to make it apparent to the view that he is "transforming." I wondered what eldritch effects would look like, and I settled on Moot Green from GW paints outlined with white. It contrasted enough with my "regal" color scheme that I figured it would make the most sense. Since the head is the most recognizable part, I tested there first. What do you think?
