Back to the mutants again. I already showed what was I doing to provide the tribe with some riding beasts. Well, I have some progress on the subject. The big fella is now finished:
 |
| Imagine a caravan with this |
You can see I added some more stuff, but didn't want to overdo it, so no more baggage. Less is more. However, I decided to put a bionic eye (thanks Wouter for encoraging me to do so!), the reins and that skull collar. The bionic savage look, you know. I also added a frame for the rifle:
 |
| Yur not gonna steal frum meh! Bang bang! |
This is pretty much what I did to the beast. The other four are going to be more or less in the same fashion. I've finished the conversion work:
I've already begun the painting process (primed and first layer), so I hope it won't take that much to have them finished! Fingers crossed...

| Berber mutant |
 |
| True nomad of the wasteland desert |
 |
| More Mad Max vibe |
 |
| Half Skitarii helmet and random pieces |
 |
| The aggressive guy of this pack |
 |
| What can I say? I liked the helmet |
 |
| It's the same beast used in the first mini. Different conversion |
 |
| Trying to get that nomad scout look again |
 |
| Fourth and last. Berber look again. Prosthesis made with a staple |
 |
| Tiny but menacing |
Woooooooooooow!!!! I must tell you that is Awesome in this moment!Cant wait for next steps!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It's being terribly fun :D
DeleteThose have so much personality... ><
ReplyDeletei love them :)
Thanks! It strikes me to see how much these minis can change with such simple conversions. I hope not to screw it when painting!
DeleteLove the WIP guys! So much character. They will look great once they're done.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The World of Twilight minis are really cool; I've restrained myself to just these few, but you could make full units with their ranges. Let's see how these look once painted...
DeleteYour converted mounts look ace Suber! Cool banana's dude :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D They fit in the theme way much more than expected!
DeleteReally cool mate - the big guy is excellent, and the little'uns are looking just as good... Love this project dude!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm even starting to consider the chance of looking for more of these dudes and run a full army! :D
Delete(Nooooooooooo! Must... resist...)
That looks awesome! Some great ideas for conversions here.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are coming along in ways I couldn't even predict. I think I still don't know how they will end up! :D
DeleteDude, this is totally fantastic really, nothing adds more depth and character than these sort of models, you get info on the fauna and th einhabitants of a planet at the same time, it's waht made Star wars so great and why the RT rulebook is so fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is bound to be stolen (the idea I mean)
Thank you! That's what I tried, to give them some depth and inner coherence, that's the funniest part of these projects! :D
DeleteBe served, I'd love to see some of your own! If you ever come close enough to steal these anyway, at least we should play with them before!! :D
Qué pasada! Estoy deseando ver una foto de grupo!
ReplyDelete¡Gracias! Todavía me queda trabajo por delante, a ver si acelero el proceso un poco :S
DeleteThese are looking great! Your Berbers are particularly nice - the headdresses, shaggy beasts and long rifles just all come together perfectly :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! The Berber theme popped up as something kinda natural, nomad tribes wandering along the desert; I guess that kind of thing is into the collective exotic imaginery, looked appealing to me into this context. That, mixed with some Mad Max vibe, evolved into these!
DeleteDear Suber ... your conversion sculpting skills with green putty is truly inspiring! Kudos! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you! Working on these was enormously enjoyable. Now I must resist the urge to raise a full army! :D
DeleteGreat conversion! I've linked your work in my article: Dompaku
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm just discovering your own work, looks promising :)
