What a characterful and fitting conversion! Good job, Maerius, can't wait to see this miniature painted.
What parts did you use? The RBT crewman body, a Waywatcher head, Malus Darkblad SDC... where's the tome from?
I'm tempted to copy this idea to create a nice-looking leader for my Druchii Mordheim warband.

Wow that is a great male sorcerer! Can't wait to see it finished... I based mine on one of the beastmaster models although I like yours much better! Cheers, One-Eye
He is both tactically minded and a savage fighter. He is feared throughout the Drakwald and rightly so, known by many names he is best known as One-Eye.

That's looking fabulous! I'm really looking forward to the end product. Are you writting some fluff behind this guy? It's a great idea, and a great model too- two thumbs up!

And.. don't want to complain. But that RBT crewie that you converted it from carries a courass ( armour ). Sorcerers don't.
I assume you meant the Cuirass (breastplate). It shouldn't be a big deal for me to file down the edges of it so it looks like normal clothing. I used green stuff to smooth over the chainmail below that. I will just file and blend it all together. Problem solved, yes?

A sorcerer also can't have an SDC, but does that matter? Considering everyone knows it's a sorcerer and that sorcerers can't wear armour, I doubt anyone will pull WYSIWYG on that one.
But, yeah, perfectly executed, and what I imagined a renegade sorcerer would look like, minus the SDC. Nice.

Good work very nice conversion.
I use the same model for my Furion conversion. I just left the cuirass and altered it a little with putty so that it looks more like ceremonial armour.
Any chance that we can get pictures of the progress and the painted mini?

It's the perfectly tasty Mordheim model.
Noble + Tome of Magic + Warrior Wizard + SDC + Sword + Dagger + Elf Cloak...
Of course this would eat up quite some gold crowns. :-D
FINISHED!
My Renegade is finished.
I am having some weird issues with my camera though - now when I take pics of my miniatures indoors under my painting lamp (with a Reveal® light bulb) everything comes out skewed toward red. Even when I take them and doctor them up with Photoshop, they still look bad. These outdoor shots look decent though, so here you go (I still think he looks better in real life than these pics):

imo cameras rarely do models justice, don't worry about it. I'm really digging the way this thing turned out. The basing is superb as is the way you painted his trinkets and clothes. I know where you got the tome, but where did you get the scroll? I can't think of where it might come from off the top of my head.

Next up is......nothing exciting really.
Now I have alot of regular troops to get painted up - Dark Riders, Corsairs, Warriors, COK's (CO's are done - just the knights now) and Shades. No conversions, but happy to share the pics if you guys are interested....
I do have another renegade coversion to do, based on one of the assassin models. I'd like to get more of my main army painted at the moment though.
