Probably because of the ugly legs the pose looks really borked.

The rest is pretty sweet tho.

It looks to me like the body is too small for the legs. Perhaps you could extend the body back a bit so as to balance it all out?

Maybe you could add a second point of articulation beneath the knee close to the foot and cut a little away from the upper leg section, it would be a lot of work but it would look better imho

Thanks again for the comments folks. The test fit was initially done to make sure the Banelord wouldn't tip over, so that part of the test was successful. However as many have noted, the legs are a bit big when compared to the rest of the model.

So to remedy this, the current plan is the raise the torso from the pelvis about an inch or so, and cover in armor plating. Also, the head will be bulked out with the Khorne skull image, so this should balance the top/front of the model with the bottom/back where the legs are taking away too much of the attention.

Unfortunately the legs are glued in the positions they are in and can't really be changed. However I will be returning the torso to the forward facing angle which should balance the model out as well.

very nice , when i make my banelord i will use skull icon over the head with eyes showing through , i will use the defiler hatch with chain and locks to cover the eyes underneath the icon (remember that possesed vechicles usualy have all hatches sealed down )

bow to chaos .... chaos is strong
every time i look into the sea , as it forever ebbs
and flows it reminds me of the chaotic anarchy of the warp , and how , like it or not ... it is all around

I've been having a hard time trying to get the body bulked out to offset the giant legs, but have made a little progress lately. While I don't have anything from the torso to show yet, I was able to get the head redesigned to look a bit more Khorne-like and less Orky. Below is the original incarnation, followed by the updated version:

OLD HEAD


NEW HEAD


I had forgotten I had a box of Ogre Kingdom guys, and thought the cattle skull was a nice touch. I'll also be adding green stuff banners from the side fins.

The torso has also been raised by an inch and I'm slowly adding the armor plating and cables. I've been inspired by the Forge World Slaughterer and Brass Scorpion and am looking at using the bunched cables as a nice organic/mechanical hybrid look.

(THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK)

It looks fantastic, but it's much too foreward leaning. It looks like its likely to fall down at any time.

I would suggest placing one of the legs foreword so it appears to be taking a step.

I didn't realize how much I would be going back and rebuilding parts of this model, but it seems like the head and body are the main stumbling blocks for this project.

In regards to needing more skulls, I've already gone through two new boxes of the WHFB Skeleton Regiments. Each box only has 12 or so bare head skulls, so it's a bit pricey. At this point I can either start a Vampire Counts army or if anybody wants some cheap skeletons, please let me know.

You should probably try your hand at sculpting skulls, it would make them much cheaper.

@ Boss Julian - The cattle skull is in the regular Ogre Bull box set. It's part of the command sprue and is one of the banner tops.

Much love for the updated head, I thought that the original faceplate didn't look clean enough,
the join in the middle made it look wonky.

Here is a cheaper alternative for skulls.

The new head is awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing the changes you make to the body, it's looking pretty cool so far.

"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

Thanks for all the comments guys, it's nice to see the blog post back on the first page.

@ Cadavar and Person Person - Thanks for the links, those skull alternatives should come in very handy for the final detailing.

I haven't been able to work on the Banelord in the last month, but I'm slowly getting back into it.

In response to the leg positioning, I'll be bringing one of the legs back to look like it's in mid-stride. And while the original plan was to paint it in sections, I'm quickly realizing I'll have to assemble it first if I'm to make sure it can stay up by itself.
