Another possible Belial base model...

Forge World's TYBEROS THE RED WAKE

 

He looks mean and has nicely pimpled armour to make it look, err, more 'antique'. The claws look excellent (and seem to have exhaust vents). And looking more closely there ain't much in the way of engraved icons that would need shaving off.

 

£14.30 is a bit pricey maybe - but for a one off centre-piece character.... ?

I've seen a few suggested models for Belial lately, but they've been buried. I'm wondering if maybe there could be a running thread, or maybe even a sticky that could consolidate all of the suggestions together?

 

Oh, but there is -

It's under our DA Librarium in the Laws of the Lion.

It looks like you might be able to cut or bore out the chainfist parts fairly easily. I've been looking for a Belial base model too but I've never used green stuff or done extensive conversions so a model that would need very little would be ideal. I'll second the request for a sticky "Belial Base Models" thread.
That's for people to show off their painted models, not quite the same. Just wondering if there was one were people would store the links for models to buy that would be a good base.

Yep not a bad idea :D.

 

Actually, that one was specifically a "conversion showcase" and never actually had a rule on whether they needed to be painted or not so you will find a handful of unpainted models there. Though you could navigate through it and identify the different bases used, I do see your point.

Hmm, I've considered buying a Forge World model for Belial, but the one I'm looking at is:

Huron of the Astral Claws

 

He's got an awesome claw (granted I'd have to convert one to match), a nice pose, great detailing that could be used for a DA character, and best of all, he's got a lion and wings on his shoulder pad! Score! Only thing I'd really need to do is slap a hood on him, swap out the flamer arm for another Lightning claw and call it good. :P

Yea. Shame they didn't give him the option for a pair of those claws. That would have been one hell of a stand in with dual lion paws with lion shoulders. Only wish it had a helmet as I'm quite anal about all my miniatures going to battle with all their gear on.

You could probably get away with just using a standard LC on the other hand, saying that one is a relic and it's mate has been lost to the eons.

A helmet swap shouldn't be too hard on him. And yeah, a pair would be great, I might see how hard it would be to modify one by switching around the thumb. I'd have to find the bit separate though.

I actually got the Huron model from FW to use as my Belial and he is pretty awesome. The head is also separate (99% sure, at work so cant check) so a head swap would be simple. I am still trying to find a suitable claw for his left hand but otherwise he is the best base I've seen so far.
