INQ28- Chaos Sorcerer

Like many, I got a "free" Age of Sigmar Stormcast Eternal as a cover mount on the old weekly White Dwarf magazine. As the idea of the "Sigmarines" interested me not at all, I decided that the figure would be converted to a true scale space marine, and given the nature of the armor, quickly settled on a Chaos one.   I added some leftover bitz from a Chaos Terminator Lord, and sculpted a few addtions as well. Then like most conversions, I put it in a drawer for a while and it did not get paint.  This summer, I realized that the figure had been completed for a year, and determined that I would paint it, and after some fits and starts, it got completed before Christmas.

Here is the result.





The primary armor color is a Word Bearer maroon that I created by painting blue ink over scab red.  Has a very deep color when it worked out correctly, but the blue ink wash pooled a bit much in a couple of areas making it more blotchy purple there.

Anyway, I am pretty pleased with it, what do you think?

He looks great! I think you were able to use the Stormcast model well; it does not read as a stormcast model when you first see the model. Your selection of head was good; it is scaled well and fits with the Word Bearers well. I also really like the inclusion of the classic bolter on his side!

Thanks Eric!

I really wanted to include the classic bolter, so much so that I stuck with it, even when the strap covered over the carefully sculpted ducting of his torso... should have planned that a bit better.

I think changing the toes helped to cover up the "Stormcast" look of the legs, although it is obviously there if you look.

One of the most interesting uses of a Sigmarine I've seen so far, if not the best. You certainly got an eye for this kitbashing and converting. Nice!!

Thanks Suber! I thought that the armor would best suit chaos...

As for Kitbashing/converting, it is by far my favorite part of the hobby. If I could only paint faster(and better).
