My long fangs finally arrived. Well the first three of them anyway. Theyre actually plague marines im converting into long dangs. Heres a mock up of the first one. Im going for 5 of them with plasma cannons to start with before i do a pack leader.
I have very little time to do anything for myself but i will update on here with pics as i go along. Come see me butcher perfectly good plastic guys. Heres a quick mock up of the first one. Please give me any thoughts, ideas, feedback and criticisms as i go along because im a noob. Thankin ya , thankin ya very much.

I need to cut file and remove more chaos filth before i start filling and building it back up again but you can see roughly where its at.

This head goes better me thinks. Have filed and cut anything sticking out that is nurglish.
Next step is i need to fill in the missing stuff and make him whole again.
Also need to make some sort of mould and copy of that forearm armour plate so i can graft it onto the blue primaris arm in the background to replace the tentacled arm i lopped off. Wish me luck. Will post another pic when hes filled in.
He also needs like a fur cloak and tabard though right? Hes one of the oldest in the armies right? An ollld furball thats probably killed a mutt or two in his time.

I'm interested to see how this turns out, the cannons fit quite well.

Thanks for some encouragement. I managed to squeeze in a brief few moments this evening in between being terrorised by toddlers.
Had my first try at using this famous green stuff tonight. I made a mould of the forarm armoyr to convert the left arm of this mini and also to try and wolfatize the nurgle lovers tabbard into fur. I dont know how its going to look with paint on it though.
Tommorow im going to get the other arm together and fill in the dimples.

Do you think the pack leader with powerfist will be alright with the fingers being a bit more clawish? Theyre only stubby ones but it kinda looks like a wolfish paw once ive trimmed it all down.
Im using the half scarred head from hellblaster and i want to scratch build a half robotic arm pointing too like other unit leaders do. This guy needs something wolfy accross his chest, couple extra rivets and a fur cloak making for sure. Ive got a mkiii backpack for him too. Hes meant to be half scarred up and mangled.

Is he bulky enough next to the Deathguard guys?

No hes not as bulky. The heights about the same. Hopefully with a decent sized fur cloak and tabbard, a primaris bolt rifle hanging on his right side were the helmet was hanging and the added totem on top itll hopefully help disguise the difference a little. Im ok with him being slightly runtier than the guys with the big guns though. I will take a pic next time i get a minute free of tiny tearaways. This is a bigger job than i envisaged.

Added bonus, ive actually lost his pointing arm. Flipping flippers

Ok well hes getting beefier now. I need some .5mm round rivets for the armor but i can't find any. Once the glues all set firm got to green stuff the forearm to make it lovely jubbly and get to work making a nice big bushy furrrr tabbard... furrrr.

He's coming along nicely! This is definitely a conversion i would not have thought of but it's working pretty well so far so i say keep it up!

Thanks for the encouragement buddy, much appreciated! I think a custom bionic pointing arm will set him off nice. Just need to order some materials and a replacement primaris pointing arm for the one i somehow managed to lose. Those bitz traders are into me for everything i have at the minute.
