Wraithwing Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (Thought I'd C&P this from the DA forum to here. ) Well, he's been sitting on my shelf giving me accusatory looks for the last year or so, so I decided it was time to get some paint on my Belial conversion. The painting is what I would call battlefield quality, but its the best I can do if I'm honest. Let me know what you think: Cheers, WW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143226-master-belial-of-the-deathwing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
frootbat Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Deffinitely one of the better conversions ive seen done on that model. Looks different enough that it doesnt just look like a recoloured lysander. Well for tabletop quality I think its pretty nice indeed. The colours are nice and solid looking. My only problem is that im just not a fan of the plastic lightning claws but thats just my taste.

Dreadnought6107 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 That is awesome. I honestly didn't realize that was lysander until I read the replies. He's my favorite model besides the techmarine, great conversion.

Scar Weaver Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Definitely a great conversion! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143226-master-belial-of-the-deathwing/#findComment-1658702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I think you did a great job with him. Good straight forward conversion, clean and not overly decorated but still an obvious command level character. Good Job Bro. Are you going to do anything with his back banner? Like a Death Wing Symbol, or a DA symbol? Could get away with some decal applications for that if you want it done quick and clean. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143226-master-belial-of-the-deathwing/#findComment-1658752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have them on a transfer sheet somewhere, I've just gotta dig through all my stuff to find them!

KJB Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That is awesome. I honestly didn't realize that was lysander until I read the replies. Agreed, I didn't recognise him at all!

Race Bannon Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 "Balltefield quality" .... ;) You are too humble man. Any better and you would be expecting somebody to look at it from 6 inches away.

Sons of Horus Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 thats a really nice belial. but i think it would be better if you kept him mysterious by giving him a helm and hood.

I totally agree with this. I only paint for pleasure and I would very pleased with your quality of painting. Bone armour is tricky; but you've pulled it off nicely. Well done.

pueriexdeus Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Might be kinda off thread... Yes your figure looks great. Wish I had one. The real Q is. Whats up with all the DA players putting LC's on the big B? Yes it's a trick question. GW gives him a MC PW. Duh.. Shouldn't he have something better? I like TL LC'c w/ PP's, something like that Blue dude with MC PF's and Two Bolters... Just a thought.

Aye, Belial did get the short end of the stick when it comes to gear. However, to keep this thread on topic, with the rumoured change to Storm Shields confering a 3++ save, I may have to model up a Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield varient of Belial.
