So I working on this already, but I'm working on making a lord on a dragon for my WoC army. GW doesn't make a model for it, and the only chaos dragon they make is Galrauch. I don't like to use Special Character models for anything other than the Special Character, so I did a bit of thinking and discussing with everyone, and this is the plan: Take the high elf dragon, split the neck out, use both the heads, de-elf the armor, add chains/iconography where available, and then mount it to one of the 40k flying stands. The real difficulty here for me is the plastic bending (never done it before) and the GS work that will be needed on the neck (or in general to enhance scales, etc.). Finally, I'm going to figure out another, non-Chaos army to hopefully buy a few models from people here to add for flavor. I intend on one of the dragon's heads to be eating one, with maybe another in the rear claws, one on the base running on (dark) fire, and one on the base standing surrounded in a cloud of poison. For the lord himself, I'm using the Chaos Lord that stands on the rock, removing it from the rock and pinning his feet and making it so he stands on the broken/cut part of the "throne" seat from the dragon's days as a HE dragon.

Progress so far:

Neck bent and "throne" seat is broken.



I also bent the tail up a little for a better angle.


The lord rides the dragon in only the most appropriate of ways.



He also comes off and goes on a base mount in the event something manages to kill him or the dragon.




Started building up some GS between the necks.


Fixed some scaling lost due to accidental excess heat.


Started smoothing out some of the armor, may bulk up a little more later.

I SMELL EPICNESS BROODING

Alright, so I've been getting some more work done on the dragon over the last week. I've shaved all of the armor loose and started working on all of the green stuff parts of it. Progress so far!

I've started filling in the necks. Probably tomorrow once this has fully cured, I'll do scales on the top half.



Also got a start on bulking up the armor a bit and adding in some scarring/wear and tear.



Here's some more scale work on the sides. I didn't like the minimal amount of scales under the wing, and the necks needed some to make up for accidental overheating.



The tail needed to be redone on the underside from where I heated and bent it.



The feet needed to be done anew since they were originally attached to the rock.


And lastly, with some tight dry-fitting, here's a small preview of what's to come:

Also, I need to make a much bigger lightbox.

Looking pretty good thus far, chief. Nice work with the green stuff.

Thanks a lot! I got the scales down now, too!

Looks really good so far. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
