Hey all!

About two weeks ago me and some guys from my local GW started a WFB campaign.
I decided to go for a fluffly, Slaanesh themed army and began gathering bits to make my general.

To make a short story long: my eye fell on this model, because of the cool texture on the armour.
I was still in doubt till a friend of mine said it could not be converted.. I gladlt picked up that gauntlet.



Allrighty than: 'ere we go! I must admit it had been a very long time since I felt nervous about cutting up a model.
What I did was make use of the resin texture to make small, deep cuts around his leg and but-cheek.
I re-positioned it making it look as he stand proud, boasting is Slaaneshi beauty, taunting his enemies!



Having done that I started with the blue-stuff mock-up of his shoulder pads. I removed the original and choose the Chaos knight ones.



Next phase was starting to fill in the blanks. He had a huge gap in his groin (ouch) , a gap at his.. Well.. His gap and his left hand needs work too.
I already did this yesterday (picks will be up ASAP, also showing the proceeding step: adding the weapon and shield.

Let me know what you guys think so far!

Allright!

Greenstuffed photo update!



Backside:



There we go, on to the second shoulderplate and touch-up's. ^^

Whoa! That's quite a leap of faith to cut up such a nice model, I would've agreed with your friend. But good job man! His whole aura has been changed. And it looks like there was only minimal damage to clean up.
Definitely going to be a unique general! Can't wait to see him painted

Oh a shield and a morning star, and some kind of big furry cape? Great repose though! I look forward to where he goes.

Hey guys!

Thanks for the comments.

The shield will be this:



For the sword I'm going for this: I want that slick, slender look, which most bulky chaos weapons miss. :(



He'll get a slightly converted cloak. I'm using a cloak from the old plastic warriors kit. ^^

Yea slender is the way to go with slaanesh. What paint scheme you gonna do?

All the muscle parts will be 1/1 chaos black - liche purple, with a badab black wash, pure liche over it and 2/1 liche puple - bleached bone.
The rest of the armour will be 1/1 scorched brown - dwarf bronze, ogre flesh wash and work up to shining gold.

His face will become a silver mask using chainmail, badab washes(several probably) and mithril silver highlights.

Glad I could jump on this thread when it's just starting up. Progress is looking quite solid. Excited to see where this ends up.
