How to convert a Manticore?
Personally, I despise the manticore model. I'm wondering how one would convert something to be passably a manticore, but still look good. I'm thinking of using either the HE Dragon or the LOTR Winged Nazgul as a base, but beyond that I'm lost. Does anyone have any good advice?
Thanks,
Runax

I would suggest that both of your body choices are a bit serpentine to make for a good manticore.
I made mine (I'm with you BTW, in that I think the stock Manticore model is very weak) out of a Carnasaur. Put some wings on it and change the head, and that's about it.

That's silly! Playin with little statues, pretendin' they're fightin'! Why not just round up a bunch of real goblins and lettem' whack it out?

Hey. New to the forum but thought id put in my two cents.
Im in the middle of converting a manticore because, like you, i think the current one is crap.
Any way im useing a high elf war lion and balrog wings. I havent recieved the wings yet but theyre smaller than the dragon wings. i wanted them but they are a bit too big from what i can tell.

Just get thew current manticore model, chop his head off, and replace it with a HE Lion head from the chariot kit.
Bad pic, but you'll get the idea.
Currently I tore this conversion apart again to rework it, and make it look more "custom".
