Conversions and Drazhar?! BTS #63
Added 2020-03-20 11:31:10 +0000 UTCWhat up, mini family?!
This last week has been full of 100% hobbying. I've been painting my GD entry a lot. Even though GD isn't happening, I have time now to crank it out so I figured I'd finish it and have one in the chamber. Here's the current status:
I am truly hating painting this much white to the standard I am striving for. I am very ready to move on to other colors, but unfortunately white covers the biggest area with this scheme and when I start something I like to experience all the suffering up front so I don't have to deal with it later.
In the meantime, I've been collecting bits to create some Blood Knights, a unit from the Legions of Nagash, an Age of Sigmar army. For a box of 5 Blood Knights, you'll be spending a cool $100, so they are often kitbashed. I was very excited to find a few bits to put together that I haven't seen used for Blood Knights. Check it out!
The old chaos knights + the dark elf cold one knight bodies works really well. The types of heads I'll be using will swap out a lot, and the shields I'm using are from the "death upgrade sprue" set that you can buy on GW's site for $20. I also plan to not exclusively use GW products as well. I have a few heads from a different site that look great too, but might be a little too big for using straight up.
I might shave their heads down a little bit and see if I can stuff them in a helmet or something that I hollow out with a dremel. There are a few cool grave guard helmets that would look great with a vampire head inside of them as opposed to a skeleton. I'm exited!
That's all for now. PAINT MORE MINIS!

2020-03-20 12:24:11 +0000 UTCScott, your painting is normally very smooth. Is the surface texture on the white bits (expecially the chest plates) a deliberate choice, or is it an artifact of the white paint you're working with?
