Bless the mailman

A nice thick envelope was waiting for me in the mail today. A packet of bitz:

Stuff for building some Astartes to go along with my =][= retinue hunting for heretics.

Ecclesiary parade bitz round-up

A quick round-up of possible bits for the possible 40K ecclesiary parade project:

Gargoyle bird creature, text#2

As I have mentioned I regard hobby activities as little contributions to the GRAND fictive story. Here is another little note, a conversion mock-up, or a 3D-sketch, call it what you want.

"...Silently, I watched him as he strode on the path to damnation..."

The main character is the bird creature. Will need to trim the ghoul head slightly to make it work. Also, the sorcerer needs some wargear around his waist to bulk him up a little. That chaos sorcerer sculpt is just so cool, as is the head from the necromancer model. Love these new plastic kits.

Gargoylesk bird creature

Following yesterday's bitz round-up here is a close-up on the main idea:

Not finally decided if I am using the Emperor's champion for the main model or trying to find that plastic Chaos sorcerer who seems to go into hiding every time I have a project that might involve him. I am really happy about the bizarre look the ghoul head adds to the falcon. For the person holding the little imp I will try to find a head that somehow adds to the brooding look of the gargoyle, but without stealing the focus.

A hobby moment - bitz round-up

Today I had one of those fantastic hobby moments where you grab a single bit and think: "This would be so cool with a quick head-swap!". From there I just worked at random through a box or two and found the rest of the pieces for the conversion. Before showing it I want to play a little around with parts of the mini and try a few alternatives here and there, but the general idea was formed by a single plastic bit that just asked for a change.

So far the bitz round-up goes like this:
- Bretonnia knights sprue hunting falcon
- Space Marine plastic plasma gun (left hand)
- Emperor's Champion main body
- A random shoulder pad
- and a head from the Ghoul plastic sprue

Intrigued to see the model finished? I am!
Really looking forward to bashing the bits together one of the next evenings...
