Some of you may have seen that, a couple of months ago, I started converting Girlyman into DOOMRIDER! Some of you may have also seen that I didn't like the colour scheme I had painted on him so I drowned him in detoll... which destroyed the greenstuff holding him together. (Lesson learnt)

So now I have started over with the GS and I have decided to get some opinions on it this time.

Firstly, what do you think of him so far?
Secondly, how should I cover the aquilla on his chest and what should I use as a belt buckle?
Finally, should I add anything else?

I really want to do DOOMRIDER justice so any help is graciously accepted.

Thanks.

Do we know the history of Doomrider? If he was from the Emperor’s Children, he could have an aquila, no?

For a belt buckle, have you considered a skull? Always in fashion.

I was expecting space Marine tears in here, I would send it flat and add some bolts' as for the belt buckle is say use a skull love to see this painted.

Sung to the tune of "Painkiller" by Judas Priest:

Faster than a Las-bolt
Terrifying scream
He's fueled by coke and Metal
He is Daemon and machine
He's the Daemon biker
Breathing coke and fire
Summoned by the cultists he is nigh / high (just choose one, both seem to be true)

He. Is. The Doom-ri-der
This. Is. The Doom-ri-der

Planets devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A Daemon comes from out the Warp because a psyker sneezed
Drowning out arty thunder
Brandishing his steel
Evil is now riding deadly wheels

He. Is. The Doom-ri-der
This. Is. The Doom-ri-der
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

*Instrumental*

Faster than a Bolt round
Louder than a sonic gun
Chromium plated daemon metal
Better than the Thousand Sons

*Instrumental*

Riding high on co-caine
Wreathed in eldritch fire
Armed with daemon weapons
He lights their funeral pyres
Firing Plasma weapons
Forever he stands tall
He's bringing Armageddon to them all-

He. Is. The Doom-ri-der
This. Is. The Doom-ri-der
Bane. Of. Man. Doom-ri-der
Dead. Ly. Wheels. Doom-ri-der

*Instrumental*

He. Is. The Doom-ri-der
This. Is. The Doom-ri-der
He. Is. The Doom-ri-der
This. Is. The Doom-ri-der

Doom. Doom. Rider. Rider.
Doom. Doom. Rider. Rider-

Can't. Stop. The Doom-ri-ddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr--
DOOM.

First: This is looking really good.

Second: I think you may want to turn his head so that he's looking farther to his left, so that when perched on his ride he'll be facing forwards. If you trim off the cheek-horns, you should be able to make that work.

Can't wait to see how this progresses!

I love it, I can't wait to see it painted.
