Component shots!

The kitbashing/sculpting, in addition to general reposing and hoof sculpting to create spikes for unspiked hooves, has the following sections:

1. The flamer, piping, and reservoir on the right of the juggernaut from  havoc and imperial guard pieces as well as wire and sculpting.
 

Spoiler

2. The double right arm and spear/banner from a combination of invocatus/juggerlord and bloodletter pieces with an index card banner.

Spoiler

3. The venomcrawler piece replacement for the tail.
 

Spoiler

4. The helmet modification with a tank sprue accessory.

Let me know if there's any other close ups wanted!

Tried to keep things simplish and quick.

I was going to say, some BftBG would be great, as would flow KT eyes. Other then that, great conversion. The spear adds so much character

[Teetengee]

Thanks! And yeah, I was waffling back and forth on bftbg, it's always a risk of too much and where? Bftbg footprints and on the feet as well as in the jaw might make sense if I revisit the model down the line (some bits bug me, the freehand mostly, also the metal might want another wash or the black pipe more visual interest), but it's done for now. The spear was fun, but very fiddly. Fun story on assembly on this, apart from the greenstuff bits (right arms, pipe, base) the only superglue used was in the left rear pastern. Everything else was plastic glue, which getting the surface area for the sword bit to become a speartip was a mess.

That's the same experience I've had with weapon swaps. Pinning would be a potential answer, but some of those weapon shafts/handles are pretty small

This came out really well! Love that you went with an old school base on him.  Great job!

[Teetengee]

yeah, I thought the flock would be really fun! I haven't played in a few editions now, and I'm sort of working on a soft return to the hobby, meanwhile that sort of basing was common when I first was getting into the hobby, so it felt like a coming together of a lot of different streams, especially with a pretty classic red and brass color scheme. Also, I think it's a little fun, a little silly.

More juggercav on the way. Gonna try to make a retinue of 7 for a lord riding a maulerfiend/juggernaut hybrid for the big old 8. Probably gonna run counts as space wolves, with thunderwolf cav, attached wolfguard, and logan, unless someone lets me come up with khorne rules for them.
