ravenguard2010 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Guys, I get a lot of enjoyment from conversions, and thought I'd try my hand at a Chaplain for my Raven Guard last night. I spent a good while hollowing out a Dark Angel hood and filing down a skull to represent the Chaplain's Skull helmet. It took a while to get a nice fit, but once there I built up the neck with a small piece of greenstuff and here is the result! I'm going to try to find something cool to base him on, to give him a commanding view of the battlefield and to give the sense that he is preaching and inspiring as he goes into battle. Perhaps a broken roman column. Apologies for the image quality, I've taken it on my phone. I'll update the WIP as he progresses. Best, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 first of all i usually hate phone camera pictures, but yours is the best quality i've seen yet ;) i like the conversion, though i would've probably made the hood from green stuff (don't know about your green stuff skills) the torso is forgeworld right? a base with a good view of the battlefield would be nice, if you don't want to sculpt a roman collumn or can't find a suitable one, you could use cork to make a monolithic kinda rock, because cork carved and chopped with a hobby knife gives a nice "rocky" texture. looking forward to seeing him painted :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm afraid I would agree with the greenstuff hood, there are good tutorials for it on this website. I recommend having a stab at it because the plastic hood looks like it would be about 3 inches thick in real life at the moment.. plus a hood around a skull wouldn't make the same shape as a hood around a mkVII helmet. This is probably not what you want to hear when you spent ages hollowing out the hood but I really do recommend it ;) But it's amazing quality for a phone!

Bewlay Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Looks good,I'm liking the plastic choices. However maybe the skull need to be pushed back a tad, not much but it sort of makes the hood look solid. I'm just waiting to se this painted, from your other models this shouldn't dissipoint ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenguard2010 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Actually my bad this might be one of the pictures I took with my girlfriend's sony cybershot, I took LOADS of him earlier to get something half decent to put on and got a file full of them unlabeled on my comp. I do agree with the hood comments now that u mention the thickness.. Problem is I suck badly with Greenstuff, it's just not my friend. I really admire some of the people on here for their abilities with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should get on with the tacticals, but I keep getting drawn to the special units! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
