Hi ! One of my friend talked me into converting my metal balrog into a bloodthirster. However, I don't really know where to start. I guesse I could make him hair with some green stuff first and paint the flames on his heads as a black mohawk. Then I woul need to replace his small sword by an axe... (any suggestion on what models would have a axe-piece for this ?). Then, I'll guess I will need to had some bits of armor on him (maybe shoulders, legs...). Would bits from the classic bloodthirster do the trick ? Thx for your answers and your time.

Bits from the plastic daemon prince box might be the right size? not having either model set; balrog or daemon prince I wouldnt know exactly lol! but for some reason I think its roughly the right kind of sizes?

edit I just popped to GW webstie to look at the daemon princ kit, there is indeed an axe, although it might be a bit plain for a bloodthirster :(
I did get distracted by the new Eldar pre order for a good while though plastic wraitguard!! yay and something weely welly big!

Thx for the advice !

How good are your green stuff skills? This guy made armour from some sort of modelling putty and it looks really cool! http://www.throneofskulls.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1258

At the very least, some shoulder and knee pads would make it look like a Bloodthirster

This could be done with green stuff or even plasticard.

Super late to this thread...

That is my Bloodthirster/Balrog conversion. The shoulder pads are made from 2 different pressmolds. The end portion of a WFB chaos shield and 2 strips of plastic strips/skull/spiky thing.
