Sorceress mounted on Black Dragon conversion (now with pics)

Post by Kaseliegth »

Hello all

I'm currently converting a sorceress to sit on top a black dragon. So far i have the coldone knights legs which i'm going to fill in the chainmail so it looks like a cloak. For the body i've got the female coldone charriot model. I'll have to do a little bit of green stuffing to fill some holes but other than that thats it.
I was wondering if any of you have converted one yet and if you have some pictures to give me some more ideals.

Thanks

Noi pictures as yet but I'm planning on using the old Lelith Hesperax model from the dark eldar range.

To be honest if you hadn't told me that was a sorceress I wouldn't have known. I think the armour on the legs throws me a bit.

Why does the Dreadlord have two weapons? Maybe convert one into a standard or give him a shield (or something).

The legs i'm going to paint up like cloth so it won't look like armour as i've cut out the chain mail and smoothed out the feet to look like leather boots.
The dreadlord has 2 weapons as everyone has weapon and shield so wanted to do something different. Thought is he's flying around throwing spears down at the enemy and when he gets into combat he can use his axe.

How does that translate in game terms?! I don't think the Dreadlord conversion works, he just looks very unwieldy with two big weapons like that im afraid.

I do like the High Sorceress though, nice conversion. Im a little unsure how the legs will work out, but Ill reserve judgement on that till I see her painted.

The axe and the spear are a bit too much. Either or in my opinion.
