I recently entered a local GW Halloween painting comp. To enter you had to buy a blind box which had a single mini in & 3 paints in that you had to incorporate somewhere (however small) in your scheme on the mini. The theme was ofc Halloween/spooky. I pulled this commissar & Kabalite Green, Stegadon Scale Green & the green gem paint & this is what happened!

I cut off his original face from the nose downward & resculpted with greenstuff & also added the tentacles with greenstuff. The shoulder ornament is from the Isharann Soulscryer. I don't normally convert & this is the first I've done with GS sculpting work.

Base is made from coffee stirrers & the rope is GS also.

Had a lot of fun with this, was going for a more subtle spooky theme - inspired by things like Cthulu, Davy Jones, General Stukov etc. I'd never normally paint IG so this was a bit of fun He came second in the comp overall.

Thats very cool

You've really nailed the facial tentacles. Great work.

Very well done! All things Great and Tentacled certainly approve

Sweet!

Bravo! Great sculpting and honestly I am so sick of that damn monopose commissar I love this even more!

He'd make a good GSC primus!

Its Davey Jones!

That's brilliant, even more so for it being a first attempt at sculpting.

Looks great. Commissar Zoidberg

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to tackle more kit bashing, a huge fan of pirates/underwater creatures and scenes. your base is beautiful!

First things first. HERESY!

Secondly, that is a top notch conversion!

My first thought was how he looks like a young futuristic Captain Davy Jones. But you know that's just because of octopus face. He truly looks like a mutant with a bone to pick with the normies. Congrats!

could you share your secrets on getting the wood to look wet and rotten? It looks fantastic!

Nice work. Really cool.

Nice work. Great conversion and paintjob. I'm a big fan of the face.

Just so cool looking!

That's awesome. I agree he would make a great GSC model.

If this came second, what the dickens came first!?
