These images inspired me to buy 10 DKoK Rough Riders to convert with FW Renegade torso/bits...you read that right.... my wallet cried a single tear - but I think it will work.

These will probably be my only rough riders, if I do more, they wont be forge world... (240-ish dollars a squad?)

I have 30 conscripts, 26 are primed. I'll have pictures next week of their progress.

I also acquired two Leman hulls, unassembled, for a Dark Mechanicus project.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!

I got me some Death Riders!

Time to convert.




Also, yes, these come from internetz. Yes, I wonder if they are 'Legit.' No, they have ONE caste line. They came with copper pipes, counterfeit doesn't usually do that. Yes, their detail is perfect and forge world quality compared to the things I've ordered directly from FW...so I'm confident I got legitimate products. But again...buying not from FW, there is always the risk.
Personally I don't care. I'm going to have a BLAST making me some chaos rough riders.

Eitherway... I am happy.

D00D! Nice supply drop! dig in!

Those Rough Riders are sweet lookin'. Like dsteingass said - Dig in!

Currently trying to figure the cut-marks...so...painful.

i like your work,
Looking forward to seeing what these Death riders look like when your done.

Also....when is to much detail...TO MUCH DETAIL.


... I mean serious.

LOL

This blog looks quite promising, SUBSCRIBED.
And lol that is some serious detail.

Note to self: Resin breaks easily under pressure.


Currently I am considering chaos brands for the horse, possibly a little rot, and maybe repeat the barbed wire idea from that games day figure.

New zombies! Been touching up old ones (adding in necks with GS) and making new ones.

I also gave my old zombie a delvin mud wash, I think it brought him more into "line" - maybe not perfect, but good enough to move on with.

Platoon Standard. WIP. Need to add green stuff ripped fabric on the arms, etc.


Wash'd up!


Something I must admit. I've been color-correcting all my photos. I accidently bought a yellow light and have not had a chance to get a white one. Its been good enough as I have not been doing extensive painting-shots with it...

I belive there's a book out there entitled "Everybody Poops". Suppose this holds true to undead horses as well?

That is hilarious though. How are you gonna paint that one?

I see no reason not to

The Deathrider looks badass can't wait to see the full unit completed. How do the zombie and guard kits fit together scalewise, yours look great but do you have to file them down to get a good fit?

I like what you have going here! I am particularly interested in the "heretek" stormtoopers! I am always all for major conversions!
If you chopped the skeletal part of the legs off, and just glued the upper shin to the anlke, and then removed one of the vertebra of the spine, I think it would make it more IG height, and look less like a necron.
(See the altered photo attached.)
I love the head idea!, and always more cables and wires!

Killmaimburnkillmaimburn wrote:The Deathrider looks badass can't wait to see the full unit completed. How do the zombie and guard kits fit together scalewise, yours look great but do you have to file them down to get a good fit?

Actually other way around! The heads fit fine, but theres no neck, you have to green-stuff in necks. I glue the back of the hair or skull, or sometimes the lower jaw if it is open-mouthed head...or depending on how I position it. Then just GS in the gaps.

Arms are smaller than guard arms, and shaving off the end of them allows for different but solid arm positioning. One just needs to use some greenstuff to add some fabric or something to hide the fact that its a slender arm glued to an open, empty, guard joint.

Overall it fits very nice.

I found ways to do this better, however... Necrons were making so much on ebay, I put them in with my scarabs and made a good chunk of cash to pay bills. I still have the one in the photo however and, in the future, will continue to try and finish him. Someday, I will make a proper squad of them, but I have enough projects to do now that it might be some time.

I'll be waiting for the rest of your Renegade rough riders to be done...

Subbed, but man...TMD (Too much detail)

wait a minute... max out the IG codex!?
That's my plan with DKOK! ( I have about 100 guardsmen + lots of cool stuff )

Sluggaslugga... we will need to fight sometime, it will be the be the battle of the century! Forgeworld open day. We'll get GW in on it. 2015 at soonest... lol. Apocalyptic siege of vraks.


But yes..I just finished cutting up 3 more riders. I'll see if I can't get them base-assembled tonight. Maybe some of the chaosification of the horses done by Sunday. I need to add some brands, marks, etc. A simple torso swap is good and all...but the horses need the right "flair."

Awesome... if you need Super-Heavys for your army click here.
I was planning about 3 of those... I'd love to see the renegade versions.

promising!

More rider work done.

Note, all these shots have been shot in yellow light them corrected a little...so it looks a little off. Soon as I'm paid next week I'll get me proper light bulb... So it may look a little weird.

Total of 4 done.

Wow! These are turning out better than I thought!

Those riders are looking good!

They look really really good

I thought they would look "weird" but they look awesome!

Oh wow those renegade heads/torsos look absolutely stunning on those death riders

...Must....resist....starting....yet....another.....project!!!!

Damn, these look sweet.

If I only had money

Well that's the thing, I have it ,just not the time! I can't win!!!

lol

Lovely minis , the death riders look great.

This looks very promising, keep up the good work

Also for those who might notice - I have not washed my resin.

I decided to just assemble it then wash it, I use crazy glue on my joins, I shave them a micro-layer down, scar the surface a little bit, stick with crazy glue...it will hold even if you throw it. In fact, the model will shatter before it breaks. Once settled over night that is.

Washing the whole figure rather than 50 pieces is much, much easier.

EDIT: Also there IS a resin color difference...makes me suspicious but then I refer myself to some renegade torso's I got from the Battle Bunker in Seattle from 2008 - they're a similar yellow - but the SAME bunker also sold me those gray torsos.

Anyone know why FW varies so much?

FW moved onto a new sort of resin...
anyways, why bother washing FW miniatures at all?
I just spray a very thin coat of Matt Varnish on them. That does the trick.

Yeah, somewhere, sometime there had to be a conversation about whether or not to sculpt the genitalia onto the resin horse master, and it didn't get shot down amazingly lol

dsteingass wrote:Yeah, somewhere, sometime there had to be a conversation about whether or not to sculpt the genitalia onto the resin horse master, and it didn't get shot down amazingly lol

Sheath is there.

They are totally gelded though.

Have not done any work this week, been pushing it off a little while I handle other stuff...don't want to touch GS until I have things ready.

1st go. Decided the cloth was "to clean."


2nd go. Made cloth more raggy.

Those horsemen are sick! This is gonna be a sweet army, are you gonna do some mutated, decrepit tanks too?

Really nice blog so far!

Subbed and will be back for sure!!! Grteat work but can't comment right now. But really, I'll be back and I'll rant on and on about how awesome the concept is, etc.

Woah, those Death Riders are awesome. I love the idea, cant wait to see those painted up!

Pussalicious. New special weapon is done.

I run these guys as special weapons. They ALL are the same special weapon, so there is never any confusion, but I vary that depending on list/points/wishes. Almost always they are Plasma though. Roll of 1? Zip on their back/body popped! Melta? Super corrosive pussy fluids sprayed out all over! Etc. Etc. Etc.

But they are always all the same type in a game to prevent confusion.

I may go to permanently using them as plasma though.

That's... beautiful in a bad way (or ugly in a good way to be precise )

I've acquired me some....simply awesome!

Now I can repaint some things I have laying around... like 80 ( and growing) sisters of battle, and old Chimera, etc.

Expect some pics on that this week.

Aww yes, now that i like! keep going

Subbed.
This is looking really good so far!

MOTHER OF GOD DOES IT WORK. I just went out and bought 2 more bottles and dumped like $1,000 worth of sisters, orks, and IG lol.
8 hours in the stuff? Paint came RIGHT off the sister of battle model, and was mostly coming off the plastic ork. I put everything I wanted stripped into it. My god does it work.
I'll pull them out tomorrow morning and clean them of as much paint as I can. Those that don't get done go for a 2nd ride.

8 hours man.

You have sparked my intrest good sir! I have been using Simple Green, and while it does work, it seems to take a long time. Although it does smell nice

At what establishment may one find and purchase said bottle of Awesome?

I'm talking like a goofus, sorry, been a long day.

Dollar General - $3

brb /going to Dollar General

Stupid livin' in the sticks Montana! Not even a Dollar General in the state! *kicks a rock*

I see it on amazon, I guess I'll have to order the Awesome!

Here are some of my test strips.



I just cleaned 100+ models, but I had to dunk them again because some people like to use to much paint...

Yes, the guardsman in the middle is stripped...amazing eh?
No detail loss after a 12 hour dip...Going onto 24+ now.

Nice! You can barely tell they ever had any paint on them! That stuff is Awesome!

*edit*

After extensive searching, I did locate a local store that carries the Awesome! I plan to head over there soon! Coincidentally, it is right around the corner from a hobby store I wanted to go to anyway!
Coincidence??? Or Fate??? (Spooky music: Dun Dun Duunnnnnnn.)

Fate!

Also...metal it lets go of easier - if the painter did a good job. A good paint job comes off easier.

A bad paint job? I have some guard and some of the sisters that seem to have 5+ layers of paint...and on some models...not just GW paint...but cheap spray paint, nylon paint or w/e its called...when it eventually lets go and falls off, it comes off like a rubber mold rather than paint.

Well then, wish me luck! I have some plastic Berzerkers I bought off ebay and some of them, the paint disolves in water, and some are STILL soaking in Simple Green. I put them in there 3 months ago! Also they used some wierd glue that is harder than rock, and won't even chip off! I don't know what I am going to with those, but hopfully I can get the paint off.

Let this be a lesson to others, don't buy painted minis online unless the price is so good you don't ind spending extra time to clean them off!

The More You Know!

Glue might not come off entirely, something I noticed is super glue actually leeches the pigment from ink...and will stick tight. With totally awesome, with a 12 or so hour soak, most glue will let go. I got a boy in similar shape to your zerkers...so Ill be finding out if a multi-day soak works on the glue like i heard. If it does, your in luck.

I await your results anxiously! Good luck!

P.S. I'll be getting the Jug of Awesome whether it takes off the glue or not. I'm running out of Simple Green, and this stuff is less expensive!

Metal minis are super easy to clean BAD paint jobs out of the crevasses with a dremel and wire wheel, you'll destroy the wire wheel, but the mini will be polished like new

A good thing to know! I have a few that could benefit from that treatment!

I stripped the baddest of BAD paint from some Valhallans. It took 5 Valhallans to kill one wire wheel after the Valhallans had already soaked in Simple Green for a week. But I won on victory points in the end.

I can not emphasis how badly you need to wear gloves. I used it for 3 hours with no gloves. My right hand is currently dry, cracked, and ready to bleed.

I am an idiot.

GLOVES
WEAR GLOVES IF YOU WORK EXTENSIVELY WITH LA'S TOTALLY AWESOME
WEAR GLOVES
GLOVES

Ewww, did your skin get all nurgly?

if so post pics of nurgley skin, TIA

Ah yes...gloves.

Gloves = Good.

I wear gloves when I use diluted Mr. Clean. I always use my dishwasher 'cause I hate doing dishes by hand 'cause it makes my skin all pruney. I feel sorry for your Nurgly hand...ick. I'd almost advize cream...but would that maybe burn? I know Aloe gels set me on fire. o_O

Doom! Doom!! DOOM!!!

So, should I wear gloves do you think?

Is Sol's inner pressure approximately 250 billion bar at any one given point?

Of course!

Grr stupid append... I'll jest wait.

I just picked up some of that Awesome junk today, gonna strip some Chaos Spess Marines.

Update!

While stripping a chimera...I stopped half-way brushing it. I need feed back! Do I finish stripping it...or leave it as is, and use it for Zombie Platoon Command Chimera? I figured the paint mix (and some of it bubbled, twisted, textured, and messy) once primed, would give an interesting texture. GS some other extra rot in maybe, glue some very fine sand for grime and grunge... then paint it back up. Should look appropriately nurgly...do you agree?






Also some strip examples.

Stripped. I noted some things WOULD NOT let go of paint color. Whatever they got based with stuck to it. A friend said it was because the models got hot in cars, the pigment baked to the top layer of the plastic... maybe it is true, as everything but some black would come off... but it is thinner than you can actually paint. So re-priming over it will NOT be an issue. This is after a 36+ hour soak, I still have more models going. I figured these were good enough to move on with taking them out. A few solid black guardsmen seemed to have been primed with off the shelf spray paint............


Old Immolator pre-strip in background. Rest of that army is stripping now. Its honestly ready to come off...but I can't brush anymore today!


Beast Men - Guardsmen conversions. They were nice but not mine, so Im stripping, reposing some, giving them all lasguns/special weapons, repainting. Make them my own. These guys WOULD NOT let their black up.
I have..photos somewhere...trying to find...will update this post with them when i do.

An old battery-powered toothbrush should help you to strip that gunk off (after it is soaked in liquid awesome of course)

dsteingass wrote:An old battery-powered toothbrush should help you to strip that gunk off (after it is soaked in liquid awesome of course)

I have one, and was in the process of doing it. The question I had was: Do I keep whats left on their for a rotten texture?

I think it will just look like a chunky paintjob if you leave it.

I say leave it! It will look cool for zombies!

RSJake wrote:I say leave it! It will look cool for zombies!

Definately keep it

I decided to strip it. I had several friends warn me the now exposed to stripping paint will make holding issues. I can also do just as good if not better with more tried and true methods.

Make sure you rinse off the awesome residue before you prime it too, you don't want that stuff fermenting under your paint.

Actually, you could leave a bit of the paint on.
Only thing I really want to see is awesome conversions

Been silent a little while, been busy stripping...

I have a totally awesome update however.

On my metal sisters, it seems to literally dissolve the paint off the figures. :O I don't really notice any loss of detail, but they have been in there nearly a week.

I've added some chaos marines too.... expect some nurgly goodness sometime soon.

(Also I am sad, metal chaos terminator is smaller than the others :( I'mma have to up scale him...uhg...or just get rid of him.)

I got my Awesome last Saturday! My Mk I Rhino has been sitting in it since then. I will be taking it out hopefully tonight, and we'll see how it looks!

As for Metal Termies, just add a 1mm layer of styrene on the soles of the feet. If that doesn't work, cut the middle of the thigh with a hacksaw, pin the legs back together with paperclips, but leave more space then the saw cut out, and fill that space in with GS and sculpt it to look like it did before, just longer! See? Simple!

I took my Rhino parts out of the bath last night, and the paint just slid off!

Thank you for recommending the Awesome!

Hrm, can you get this hand melter totatly awesome in the uk?

I don't think so. Unless you have it shipped. But who knows?

THAT..is the Rhino I sent you??? Wow!

LOL, no but it's in the same shape. The one you sent is the one I am making the working doors on!

That one is gray plastic, and my two are this tan colored plastic. Not sure what the difference is.

The gray one was stripped in Simple Green, and has a lot of scratches now due to the paint not coming off. Simple Green, how I trusted you! Never again!

*ahem*....sorry to jack the thread, back to the regularly scheduled topic.

Jake its okay I enjoy seeing others totally awesome work.

Chimera is sliding off paint right now too, just a little more soak needed to complete the deed, same for sisters.

The only problems I had so far were: long soaks staining metal darker (due to 150+ models worth of black ink maybe? LOL), not an issue issue but yeah... and some primers just WONT let go no matter what...but it strips them to thinner than rice paper so that will be no issue.



Within this dark tub resides $900 worth of sisters too.

This seams like an AWSOME project, i look forward to see pictures off miniatures that are being painted.

If I remember rightly, the first rhinos where made in the tan plastic, I believe as time moved on they were re-boxed and made from the standard grey plastic colour.

Make sure you send in that PopSci card to save 30% off the cover price

Oh, and I think the tan plastic is what GW molded in before they went to grey, can anyone verify this?

I can... (feeling OLD!)

Yup.

I guess I'm feeling old too then, I picked those up off the shelf, brand new! Also the starter pack of Beaky Marines in the same tan plastic! I still have some heads and arms!

Ahhh, the value for money days.

Yeah, and the "Had to go to the store" days!

I don't miss the "Hope they have that particular model" days though. The old blister codes with umpteen different model types in them really hindered a collection.

But now we are in the "boxes of everything on the shelf except what I need" days

But more importantly....we're in the "I'll just look online for the exact bitz I need" days!

God help me. I picked up Eldar....

So, my sisters are almost done. I can only brush so many clean in the holidays!

I also found from my FLGS, that all the tourny players left. PRAISE THE RUINOUS POWERS! All fun-play people left! WOOOOOO

I am super remotivated, and expect updates this week with photos of the strips, the Eldar, and possibly more rough riders.

Oh and I'm designing my own game... 1:285 using GHQ models, likely.

I still live! Maybe... Surgery is tomorrow. Yeah it took me 6 months to sort this crap (for those who have seen my whining about it earlier...)

Week after I will be off work. If I feel up to it I will try to get my other 6 riders done - or continue paining/assembling my regular chaos guardsmen

With 6th Ed. I am going to be making 20 more riders, using plastic horses from chaos fantasy... can't afford 20 more FW riders... but that is a "down the line" thing for sure...

Nice group shot! Glad to see this back (I'd forgotten what the thread was until I clicked it).
Good luck in surgery, I'm sure you'll be chopping up little toy men in no time!

What do you do with the waste Chemical from 'Awesome'? do you chuck it in a river, plant it in your worst enemy's tea, chuck it down the loo. or leave it for tomorrows strip (Not the context most of you will probably have jumped to.)?

As long as it isn't considered "caustic" it should be completely safe to dispose through the public sewer system.

blood lance wrote:What do you do with the waste Chemical from 'Awesome'? do you chuck it in a river, plant it in your worst enemy's tea, chuck it down the loo. or leave it for tomorrows strip (Not the context most of you will probably have jumped to.)?

It is a soapy-material that is safe for mopping floors. I dump the waste water through a strainer into the toilet. Strainer picks up any particles that might help add to clog, and flush. It is a fairly safe material, its pretty much just concentrated soap I think.

Surgery done. God I am soooo high right now I'm partying with slaanesh. Sometime this week will continue with worj.

Woot! Enjoy! but Get mending soon!

Here we go! After so long without work... Two down, 3rd to go. So far only a few minor breaks...all fixable.

IT IS SO HARD TO DO THIS. I practically had to wait to be drugged up to do this because, when I was not this relaxed? I kept fretting over how I would break them...now I'm like "eh I can fix that! Who needs the tip of a horse ear?!"

Alright... I really really really am stumped. I also couldn't think of a better place to ask this.

As I mentioned a while back I picked up some sisters of battle...and well, with the new allies rule, I also brought out something else I can use... my Tanith.

List of what I got.


I can not, for the life of me, figure out a way to organize this into an ally for my Sisters of battle and still keep the Tanith feel. I don't want to model on these guys until I know what I'm doing with them. I need to strip 3 of them as you can see.



CHQ: don't know..
--Priest stand in with Dorden? Just to keep him with the tanith...
Vet Squad: Gaunt, Mkoll, Milo, Plasma, Nade Catachan, regular tanith soldiers.
Ratlings: 5 Snipers including Larkin

Or...

CHQ: Gaunt, Dorden Medic, Milo standard bearer, Plasma, Nade launcher.
Vet: Mkoll, regular tanith, 3 snipers including Larkin...

Eitherway I'm going to have to model some extra tanith to fill the ranks...

Oh boy oh boy! Here we go...

Now I just need to figure out how to base them.... and gap some GS in.









Also while I was at it, I finished up my Vraskians too.

The Tanith should always be a scout platoon, preferably Veterans to take advantage of the BS4

Those RRs are very beautiful! I want some now...my wallet hates you!

I need to figure out how to base those RRs....they came with the big HWep bases, great for dioramas but that isn't the proper IG Codex RR base...and it makes their assaults less concentrated in 6th.... problem is I have no long bases, I would have to make some.

As for Tanith. I'll be going with veterans.

-Lord Commissar as Gaunt
-Dorden as Priest [to keep him with the group]
-Scout Squad with Corbec having a shotgun (assault lasgun, so I don't have to remodel)
-Ratling Squad (5 snipers includng larkin)

-Admech for the hell of it :3

If I ever need a 'stronger' alliance with my sisters for competitive play I will simply put another platoon in or what not.

Ayanti zweil is the crazy old man priest, dorden can stay as a medic

marbo =/=Mkoll

Porkandbeans wrote:Ayanti zweil is the crazy old man priest, dorden can stay as a medic

marbo =/=Mkoll

Yes but I don't have medic option in veteran squads... I don't mean fielding Dorden as an actual priest, just taking him under that to keep him present on the table.

Also no room for Marbo, as the ratling-snipers will fill the 1 elite slot I'll have.

You should base the cavalry on 40mm round bases.

Desperate measures for my eldar. A week of soaking...it seems these wraith lords were sprayed with a generic spray paint to base them. Then sprayed again with another paint color. Looks like someone tried to strip them before too. A new brush didn't work...so I resorted to desperate measures.

Rough. Kitchen. Sponge.


It doesn't seem to be damaging them... I will be careful... but the paint is thick. If I can get it going, the brush can finish the rest I hope.

You're only worry would be bending a limb or breaking something off the wraithlord

Yeah, its working out. By next week I should have paint-less wraith lords. Its taking that long to get the paint to release. After a week of soaking in a material thats yet to truely fail me.

alot of nice stuff here, i especialy like your cavalry!

I've begun using a dental pick to gently remove paint from nooks and crannies like on these sisters of battle seraphim. I'll post a larger progress picture soon enough along with making a list of what is currently being worked on (a lot.)

Working on a base to get an idea of "what i want"

I'm going for a boggy-swamp feel...and I do know the colors are a little muted both on the zombie-guard and the base...but I really think LOL NEON GREEN nurgle is NOT good looking for 'the rot' - perhaps for some things...but not this.

The plan: Soft-glue everyone to basic bases, do not color said bases. Then when I feel like doing hand-made bases I just yank one or two off their bases, and do it. This allows me to have a playable army and base them at my leisure. Bases are not as important as my army projects for the most part, so I don't want to bog down my already massive project by hand crafting bases before doing my actual models.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Did a test in a bottle cap with the quick water...it shrank way more than I thought it would, a little shocked... and the dye pooled in the corners (quite alright.)

Anyone got any tips on using water fx, let me know. I'll have a photo soon, my camera lens is not connecting for some reason... got to repair it.

So far so good! Resin is already on it and setting.

Looking good, I'll be lurking.....

DemetriDominov wrote:Looking good, I'll be lurking.....

I am humbled you have interest in my work. Yours inspires me greatly. I envy some of the things you've made.

Also update!

I got excited, and chanced the water without seeing how my prototypes would work out. It is looking good. The prototypes have since dried enough to tell me: I made the right choice.

This photo represents the base in it's near finality. Just drying. Tape = cheap retainer for resin. If this works fine, I may cheat and not "dig into" the base next time (it is a lot of work...for so little reward.)

It looks really well detailed, but the dark shades should keep the base from outshining the mini using it. Very well done.

He isn't done yet, in the sense that I have yet to glue him on. I'm debating on how I'm going to do that and what position (this is my favorite.)



Base without him.

Camera charger has died and currently broke...no progress pictures until then. I won't bother further bumping this with crap photos either. Hiatus until recharger is acquired.

WIP ofc, stumbled or injured officer of some unlucky loyalist guard force.
Will be based in the swamp base similar to my test base earlier.

Planning to have one upright zombie, another one or two emerging from the swamp, and some hands. Possibly a nurgling sneaking up.

WIP part 2.

Well he's completely screwed. I like it, can't wait for it to get painted!

I'm back in action after a long hiatus.

I'll have images up soon.

-Report on the eldar stripping: 4 months of stripping and some of the paint will NEVER COME OFF. Turns out things like the Eldar Guardians are pretty much ruined, if they are anything like the 2x Wraithlords. The yellow walmart paint fused with the plastic... the lords are salvageable though due to large surfaces...doubt it'd work for the guardians. Most of the metals are saved but they need a lot of manual cleaning to get cracks clean. Not sure if I will fix them or sell them at this point, just to much to do.

-Sisters are being cleaned again by hand. Tanith are ready for paint.

The primary project is still my renegade guard - and with the advent of 7th, I will include two major projects on my table soon.

Good cam damaged this will have to do.

Currently working on NDP here, had to re-do some of the paint so he looked a bit scraped up - don't worry! He will be getting the same "base" treatment that my nurgle guardsman had - you can't see it clearly right now, but there is depth to this base. His left foot and some of the nurglings will be sunk into the swamp mire.

Working on this guy - desperately needed my tank up. Renegade Eradicator

Armor done model-wise. Finished up a Chimera. Heres what I have finished. I still need to do details (Liquid Green Stuff rot) and gap fills, before painting.

WIP Leman Russ paint job (Received from ebay. If you are the seller, I'm sorry for painting over your good paint job.)

Going to do most my vehicles like this, but I just made up a lot of the paint work as I went along, so each may be uniqueish... I still need to get some depth into it maybe, but I am wary of making it to bright...

Yellow Paper + Yellow Bulb = not good, but couldn't wait to share.

Got 12 of these guys off ebay - some of you might recognize them as Doc Thunder (if I recall right) 's old Rough Rider Birds. (see 1st image)

I'm torn on what to do with them.... chaosifying them wouldn't be to hard, someone suggested a Bearded Vulture scheme (see 2nd image). Suggestions?

It's a Chocobo! Also that second image isn't working.
