Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 There's all this awesome DraigoWing talk here, wondering if anyone has made their own Draigo? I finally opened up my GK Terminator box and clipped out some bits. Seems like most of Draigo can be made with those bits... except for fancy stuff like the banner, shield and maybe the sword, although the one with the Inquisitor symbol in it is close. So anybody make their own Driago? How'd you do it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237930-anyone-make-their-own-draigo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm working on one right now, just haven't found a plastic shield I like yet.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm working on one right now, just haven't found a plastic shield I like yet. Yeah I was wondering about the shield more than anything. Maybe something from Warhammer Fantasy we can stick GK bits on?....

jeffersonian000 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 There's a nice looking storm shield on the Space Marined Captain sprue, I think. Most likely the one I'm going with if I can bitz it out.

Crynn Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Green stuffing mine at the moment, he just looks like a giant angel with a huge sword and shield. needs a lot of work though.

Oiad Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Always thought this was a nice, simple conversion - just using GKT parts and Hector Rex.

nurglez Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have a metal draigo, But seeing all these nice conversions, as well as the fact that I quite dislike the pose Draigo is in, might be enough to convince me to craft my own... Just need a good shield... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237930-anyone-make-their-own-draigo/#findComment-2870016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deschenus Maximus Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 There's a shield heraldry-thing in the Dreadknight box.

Archon_77 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 No Dice on the Dreadknight heraldry shield.. its too small and looks a lil goofy on a Termie (I Know, I tried.)

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 What do you guys think of this idea for a shield: 1) Cut out a picture of Chuck Norris into a shield shape. 2) Attach to Driago Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237930-anyone-make-their-own-draigo/#findComment-2871377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelis Mortis Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 What do you guys think of this idea for a shield: 1) Cut out a picture of Chuck Norris into a shield shape. 2) Attach to Driago Blasphemy! You would attache Draigo to Chuck Norris. And you can't cut Chuck. Besides, anyone who took one look at Draigo attached to Chuck wouldn't dare attack him, so it kind of works like a 1+ invulnerable causes terror. Yup and plasticcard.Heres some work in progress pics: So you can see how I did it :) http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s188/Sir_Clausel/Grey%20Knights/HPIM1823.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s188/Sir_Clausel/Grey%20Knights/HPIM1826.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s188/Sir_Clausel/Grey%20Knights/HPIM1827.jpg Thats very clever.

nurglez Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 So after seeing these, I have started making my own. I bought a few scribor shields to experiment with, and the one I have started on looks pretty good so far I think. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/Shield2.jpg My current problem is I've put his sword in the left hand, but the magazine for the storm bolter got in the way, so i chopped it off. now I'm not sure if I should re attach it further along, or add a chain fed belt like the old metal power armoured grey knights (attaching to his back torso some how), or maybe just have a few bits of ammo sticking out (sort of like abaddon's hand mounted combi bolter)..
