Here is a project that I really got to get into. My client wanted an Imperial Knight that had turned to Tzeentch. It was to be allied with his Chaos Daemons force, so it did not need to be a Thousand Sons Knight.

There is only a little bit of conversion here- the head was swapped out for the head of a High Elf Phoenix. Otherwise, the alignment was all down to coloration.

I wend with a blue to purple fade for most of the armor plating- I felt this was right for the god of change, and the bright pink contrasted nicely with that (and also matched a force composed largely of pink horrors).

Of course, it isn't right to leave any Imperial Knight mini without freehand, so I made sure to get a lot of the Changing God's iconography all over him.

Argh love it, the face!!

Very, very cool!

The armor fade is wonderful as is the Tzeentch-influenced mutation.

Your client has a killer model on their hands!

Excellent!

Yup, very cool.

Really cool concept that is executed wonderfully.

Thanks.

This is one of those minis where I end up wondering if I have something that would look right in this color scheme.

It is bound to happen.

Gorgeous model. But that head really is the icing on the cake!

Thanks.

I pitched the head to my client before I had the mini in my hands. I was really happy with how well it fit- I hate it when I've pitched an idea that seems perfect only to find out that the parts are too large or too small.

Really inspired conversion there... very subtle with the head change and works great! Lovely freehands

This is fantastic!

Outstanding!

Fantastic

Nicely done.

Head swaps can really alter the look of a mini drastically- usually more than any other conversion you give them (on static poses, if you change the facing of a character, the pose will often look more different than it is).

I've made a lot of Daemon Princes tied to a lot of chaos factions, and they change especially well with a head swap.

Cool idea, outstanding freehands, love to see so well done chaos knight best regards!

Nice work! I love the how a simple conversion like the phoenix head can make such a difference. The colourscheme looks great on it too.

Thanks.

I might have said this before, but I'm definitely looking to use this color scheme again. I think it came out just the way I wanted it.
