Hobby update 11/02/2013

Been a while since i posted any hobby progress updates, mainly due to me being lazy. Due mainly to being slightly cashstrapped of late i've been looking into alternative conversions and whatnot to get the models i want into my army of choice, right now that being chaos.

A while ago i saw an awesome conversion / scratchbuild over at Dark Future Games where they took a zombie dragon and turned it into a very decent heldrake alternative so i've been scrounging bits and finally decided this weekend to make a start on it. Here is the address to the original post that i'm shameless stealing :)

 Some steps have been skipped, just basic gluing together of the torso bits and the maulerfiend lasher tendril somehow didn't make it into the group photo :)

Had the wrong neck here, so had to do some cutting

 Pin the tail on the donkey, oops i mean heldrake

 

Cut the neck too short so had to do some pinning and praying here also

ok now i need a pair of wings. normally a pair of zombie dragon wings are used, because the look awesome, but i'm broke so i decided to resort to some old sprue, masking tape, toilet paper and glue :) 

lastly i scrounged through my bitsbox and made a start on 2 squads of 10 man chaos cultists
