Arwen, from Games-Workshop. So far just the horse is finished
The right hand side. The arm is joined and filled and both the horses legs on this side.
A nice frontal shot, especially the horse
The left hand side is not quite as interesting as the RHS, but I have plans.
Warhammer 40K, Cadian Sentinal convertion, for use in an Inquisitorial Retinue. This is the turret with a Crusader's shield on the front as 'extra armour'. The light and sensor were moved to fit the shield. The Multi-Melta is from the Sister's of Battle Immolator Tank with the cabling redone with guitar wire and hand-wrapped wire. The top armour plate is plastic-card with an Imperial icon from a Rhino added.
I drew a sketch for this two months before it was realised. It's a personal shrine inside the 'cockpit'. I had to leave the turret in three pieces until I had completed the interior detail. A gold Chaplet Rosarius, a purity seal with litanies of faith & an altar candle in a gold clasp. A pain when all you want to do is build the damb thing!
The Pilot. A veteran Cadian in personalised armour. She is a heavily converted Immolator Turret gunner. Her legs, arms feet and back had to be resculpted and rebuilt. Mission!!. I rescupted her hair as well, since the original was too neat-no wind-blown look.
The side view, Doh! I shortened her forearms to accomodate the larger control arms. Her shoulder pad is a Chaos skull accessory that was cut away and moulded with Green Stuff.
The frontal armour was scratchbuilt, because I was dumb enough to glue up the pilot without testing the fit with the original armour, so...!
This is the undercoat of Citadel 'Bleached Bone' that I used as a starting point for my custom paint-job. Hey, if the Orks can do it then so can we. Gives us more Dakka and makes us more Shooty and stuff!!
The Relinquary, This is a holy icon carried with pride into battle with the Heretic, the Xenos, the Unclean...just about everyone who looks at them funny-like! Purple and Brown ink washes give the gold that old look, but the skulls are just highlighted up to pure white.
This is the completed Flaming skull. I had wanted it to look like a flaming eagles wing, but it's still okay. I worked from the bottom up/inside-out, starting with the largest areas of colour and working up to the finer lines on the surface, in this way I could cover or thin any lines that I didn't want. With both the skull and the flames I worked up to the lightest colours. Adding the darkest brown (Scorched Brown) as line-work afterwards.
