skulltaker on juggernaut

[Brother Turok]

Hi all, so I was lucky enough to come into an army of 10 3rd edition deamonettes, 5 seekers, 20 'letters, 15 horrors, 5 plaguebearers, herald on jugg, skulltaker, 2 karanaks, 2 furies, and a khorne lord on juggernaut, for about $140. However, I have had had to strip everything except for the khorne lord's juggernaut which was mint in box.

 

So I figure since skulltaker is one of my favorites and I have him and a khorne lord's juggernaut (what a coincidence!), I would convert a skulltaker on juggernaut. However, I have two ways of doing this and I want to get opinions first. I will be cutting the sword out of his right hand and placing chain reigns in it's stead. I will be placing his sword in his left hand, like he is raising it to swipe at someone as he gallops past. Here is my dilema:

 

 

My first option is to pin his left foot to the top of the left rear leg of the juggernaut and pin his right foot to a spike just behind the juggernaut's right front leg. Many people say he looks like he is 'surfing' this way, but I think it looks ok. He would look somewhat like this one I found:

Second option would be to cut up his cloak so he can sit on the juggernaut right in front of the rear legs. He would look somewhat like this then:

I think the second option doesn't make the model look so huge since skulltaker would be sitting lower on the model. However, I think that standing on the back holding reigns looks almost more natural since no other bloodletter actually 'sits' on a juggernaut (if you look at the juggernaut 'letter and herald models, they are both 'standing' on the juggernaut in different poses). I think this lends itself to the idea that the bloodletters and skulltaker are almost leaping off the back to kill something since they are frenzied about killing.

 

So before I start pinning Skulltaker or hacking him up with a saw, let me know what you all think is best. Thanks all and I will see if I can get pics up of this conversion as it takes place.
