I have been working on converting a vendetta and it is coming along nicely. Here is how it looks so far.



I had someone suggest that I add more mutations such as a spine sticking out of the back. This sounds like a great idea, but I have no idea how to construct one out of greenstuff. Has anyone done something like this before or seen a guide for making exposed bones? I have seen a few models with exposed spines (Hellbrute, FW GUO), but has anyone seen any others?

Used Zombie Dragon from Battle spine for my Possesed Stormeagle.

Making a spine is relatively easy:
Make a green stuff sausage, press it on to the model, use a sculpting tool to cut bands into the sausage - these will be the sections of the spine.
Then, with wet fingers to avoid finger prints, pinch the middle of each section & pull up. Once dry lay a rolled out strip along each side and blend onto the hull.
Try to make the other edge of the flap ragged.
Here's a picture of a dinosaur spine to give you an idea of what I mean:

There are a few Tyranid spikey bits that could also probably be used to good effect.

Wow, thanks for the response! Slayer I am impressed by your greenstuff work. I will be trying this out in the next couple of days.

Be sure to post wips! I am anxious to see how it turns out on the vendetta.

Dude is that Eddie the 'Ed ala Iron Maiden sculpted in greenstuff on the back?!

Its a mold i made from the old Khorne Icon that FW did a few years back.

And yes i suspect the guy who sculpted the icon to be a IronMaiden fan.

So I have completed my spine and I am pretty please with how it turned out.

Here is a WIP pick.



And here is how everything looks with the the completed spine.
