Master Belial of the Deathwing

(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:

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.

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

:lol:

 

Yeah, I'm gonna add the sword and star (iron halo) to the banner, as that was Belial's heraldry from the 2nd Ed Codex. I know I have them on a transfer sheet somewhere, I've just gotta dig through all my stuff to find them!

"Balltefield quality" .... :)

 

You are too humble man. Any better and you would be expecting somebody to look at it from 6 inches away.

 

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.

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.

Thanks for the positive comments so far guys.

 

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.

 

Cheers,
