My Dark Rider Conversions +PICS+

Post by faeli-n »

Camera battery ran out so I only got one image, but this is my attempt at DR conversions and I like the way they turned out.

I made two identical units of 5, so not much point showing more than one. There's quite a bit of converting, and quite a few different kits used to make it, but you can see a lot from the photos.

Yes! :D

The bits are: uncovered corsair heads, the front of corsair bodies and the backs of CoK bodies, CoK legs with the lower bits taken off at the knee and then replaced to get bent knees rather than the straight-legged CoK pose, Marauder spears, and the wild rider horses (plus various corsair arms chopped up to get the right positions).

I quite like the fact that you used corsair torsos as opposed to the much more common warrior torsos. I also like the spears. Very nice. Esp the guy with the extra spear! ^__^

btw, I'm not too familiar with horses and whatnot, so I wanted to ask, why did they cut off the tails?

Thanks for sharing and great job!

Nice models, i like the spears and poses of them.
I do not know if i like the heavy-armoured legs, but it looks nice so screw the fluff.

And i have to ask too, why the short tails?

nice conversion.
In my opinion the armoured legs aren't that bothering.
The armourend heads of the horse's are. But thats just personal taste.
I do like your work to get the legs in a better horse riding position.

And the cut of tails just remind me of horses used by farmers (but I think it isn't that common any more cause there are tractors now)
