dice4thedicegod Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Might be getting a bit ambitious here... hopefully not above my skull level! Early concept posing for kitbashed lord of skulls: I’ve got some skulls, khorne sigils and a dozer blade (to flatten front hull profile). Oh, and tracks! And a cunning plan for the smoke stacks!

PeteySödes Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Ambition is how you improve! That's a really solid start! The figure actually works really well, my only fear is that without a bit more work it's going to be almost too recognizable. I'm looking forward to seeing this develop!

tychobi Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Looks like an awesome base. Have fun warping it to the way of Korne! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361914-lord-of-skulls-conversion/#findComment-5476528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kolgrim DeathHowl Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I really like the idea, so far it looks cool! Can't wait to see some more progress on this!!

dice4thedicegod Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Put this project to one side for a long time. Finally picked it up again tonight and started trying to figure out the bits again! (I moved, so some things - such as the pen cap I was going to use as a crafty belly cannon - are missing. But I think I have enough to make it work! (Need a pen cap though, I’m not convinced by the Covina’s imperialis spire!)

Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Did the torso come from an Iron Monger action figure, from the 2008 film Iron Man?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 He's coming along well. Are the tubes in front of the engine deck exhaust pipes, weapons (maybe mortar tubes for the mortal passengers to operate), or countermeasures (maybe flare launchers to lure away guided missiles) to counter enemy ranged attacks as the Lord of Skulls drives forth to reach those too cowardly to cross swords with him?

dice4thedicegod Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Figured them as exhausts! Done a bit more... now thinking about tank riding cultists (haven’t glued them down yet but I’m tending towards keeping them. And maybe adding more!)

Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Will you add "safety" rails for passengers to cling to, allowing the Lord of Skulls to transport a MASSIVE number of infantry models?

dice4thedicegod Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hmmm, interesting idea! Are safety rails chaosy? Does khorne do health and safety? Maybe if they had enough spikes? Will have to think a bit! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361914-lord-of-skulls-conversion/#findComment-5546490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Are safety rails chaosy? Does khorne do health and safety?If it lets the Blood God's worshipers live long enough to spill blood and take skulls, then yes, Khorne will do health and safety. The World Eaters still wear power and Terminator armor, after all.Maybe if they had enough spikes?Good point. It should work if you enclose the engine deck with stakes- with impaled corpses atop some of them- and suspend chains at knee-level between the stakes (so the Khorne berserkers can leap over them to quickly get into battle). bluntblade 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361914-lord-of-skulls-conversion/#findComment-5546542 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds genius. As it happens, I have a length of fine copper chain that might be perfect for this!
