Got the itch the other day to make an Enslaver mini for
40k, pretty much as a display piece; but you never know... Was mainly inspired by official art, certain Google images, most notably on self sculpted by Jason Hendricks (it's on Pintrest so no point in linking it here, but search
40k Enslaver conversion and it pops up), various things in the back of my mind and after building it probably the Quintessons from Transformers given it's appearance.
Whole thing is mainly made from parts from a Tyranid Sporocyst body; whose bits I got cheaply from a bits site, a Reaper Bones Dark Young's mouthparts, green stuff and other odds and sods. The guy at the front is made from Festus' victim with rebuilt robes and other bits. The head is the severed head from the old Malus Darkblade mini, I found it in my bits box and it has this perfect expression of terror and awe on it.
On with the pics...
Scale shot next to a Blightlord Termie.
WIP shot of it (back when I decided to give it arms. Ultimately decided against that).
And a bonus of all of the minor
40k Xenos conversions I've made with the Rak'Gol on the left and some Umbra on the right.
