Blank05 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 *Disclaimer* Scrolling through the board a bit, I noticed someone else had this idea. HsojVvad, I apologize if this steals any thunder. *End Disclaimer* So, with the release of AoS, the revealing of the Stormcast Eternals, and my just finishing Descent of Angels I have decided to convert the Stormcasts into Knights of Caliban. I just purchased the Starter Set and realized this is going to be a serious undertaking. THere is a lot of filing and scraping in my future to get rid of all of those hammers and lightning bolts. Here's the first model. I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with those scales... Maybe fill 'em in. What do you guys think? http://i.imgur.com/VQ2Poi6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3ntbl9D.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311271-blanks-knights-of-the-order-progress-log-updated/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's looking great! All the filing and scraping is just good practice. I know I'll be checking up on this.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Knights of Caliban rode horses, but the Conversion is nice!

seethe Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Character on a lion should work though. Nice job man, I think it will look great Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311271-blanks-knights-of-the-order-progress-log-updated/#findComment-4125534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank05 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Knights of Caliban rode horses, but the Conversion is nice! Yeah, I know, but I thought the leader of the army being on a lion fit well. I'm also considering teraing the hooded head off and replacing it with a head with long hair to represent The Lion, himself...

Blank05 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 EDIT: I updated the origninal post. So, here's the progress I've made so far. I've built all of the models(12x Liberators w/ Hammer&Shield, 3x Retributors, 3x Prosecutors, Lord-Celestante on Dracolion, and Lord-Celestante on foot). Most don't have heads as I don't like the standard mask look, but the ones that are just weraing helmets have heads along with a couple others that I put DWK heads on. For example: It's about 75% done. Still have a bit of layering to do and the base isn't even started. http://i.imgur.com/VQ2Poi6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kqfjVTz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3ntbl9D.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bHAE1dr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JgbdAJu.jpg What do you guys think?

Father Mehman Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 He looks impressively massive! The fur on the lion looks very nice and the cloak highlights look well blended. The only critique I've got is the "Sigmar" banner on the lion's haunches. Maybe you could tell people it's an old Calibanite word or fill it in with Green Stuff, cover it with Abaddon Black, and then redo the banner. Good work !

Blank05 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah. I don't like that either. I tried to fill them with GS, but you could still see impressions, so i gave up and cleaned them out. However, they are for use in AoS, not 40k, so I figure they are still Sigmarites, just ones from a neighboring region of Caliban, haha!

Father Mehman Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Ah, I had forgotten you mention that orginally! Well then, good sir, you are good to go!

Blank05 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Alright. He's finished. May I present, Lord Andariel, Knight of Caliban: http://i.imgur.com/vFbqUpL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YlieOBK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NfTGPto.jpg C&C welcome! :D I'm really happy with him, though.

Jazzhands Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Love it! Had already considered a character on this as a counts ad a bike addition to my ravenwing and you have convinced me.

Blank05 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 In that case, as a suggestion, you might want to get a hold of a Chimera from the fantasy line and use it's eagle head. It might be too big, i'm not sure, but the bird head might be more fitting for a Ravenwing conversion. Could be a killer Sammael, though.

Father Mehman Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Good Emperor, Blank! That's an amazing job you've done. I'm loving the two-toned base and that halberd is just too perfect. Congrats !
