I actually painted this model twice! Once a few years ago shortly after the kit came out, and again recently to update the scheme to match my current Emperor's Children force. I haven't changed traitor legion over the years, but I did update how I painted them as my skills developed, and I wanted it to look good with the rest of the force (I updated my Helbrute in a similar way last year).
I've always liked the Ectoplasma Cannon head, just because it looks like a demon parrot or something! In fact, I like that head so much that I used it as the basis for my Heldrake's head that still graces the top of this blog today.
In terms of conversion work, it's pretty stock, but I did use one of the Mauler Fiend's tendrils to make a tail for it. It was 5 minutes of work, but I think it looks good and adds a sense of balance to the model when viewed from the side where it's quite front-heavy!
Great addition of the tail, really does balance it and I thought it was part of the kit until reading your text. So, good stuff. What's in the mix for Monster March from you?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to put up a short post about it tomorrow, I'm painting a Shadowsword for my Steel Legion.
DeleteNice to see this thing finally making it to the blog. It's one of my favourite Chaos kits.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's pretty cool. I think you might have bought it for me actually.
DeleteI've always loved this model. The painting looks great and that tail is an awesome little touch. I may have to steal that idea.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes the small and easy conversions have the biggest impact.
DeleteExcellent! One of my favourite Models, and you've done a great job with it. As mentioned, the tail is a nice little added touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm happy with the repaint, and it might actually see the tabletop now.
