Ok, so while I'm waiting impatiently for my rulebook to arrive(grr, overseas shipping) so that I can start to put my threshold agents together I've started making some Lurkers. As I mentioned in another thread the conversion part of the hobby is sort of where I find the most enjoyment, so I tend to want to build/kitbash my own models.
So, I started by making some Scrawny ones, with some eldritch-looking thinies on stone pentagons.
The Scrawny ones are 40k kroot legs, the older WHFB skeleton torsos and arms, and greenstuffed heads and hands. The pentagons are pure greenstuff.

I'm not great at taking pictures, so the colors come off as very saturated, but let me know what you think.

Edit: Ok, so I figured it'd be easier if I added a copy of each update picture to this post. So here's a werewolf

Very nice. They remind me of Harryhausen's Selenites for The First Men in the Moon.
-
Those look great! Is the detail on the pentagons sculpted or painted on?

Thanks. :) I was going for a very tall and lean look. I think that next to these my more human models are probably going to reach the shoulders of the scrawny ones. For some reason I felt that was fitting.

Only painted, kinda. The thing is I was trying to make a greestuff mold based on my Cthulhu Dice (http://"http://www.sjgames.com/dice/cthulhudice/") but the result ended up very weak and only really served as a guide for the painting. If you look at them directly from the side you can make out a bit of a wobbly surface, but that's about it.

Those are first class! The markers look really great too!
-
Really cool stuff. The miniatures fit the Scrawny Ones really well. Cool stuff 8)
-
Really cool scrawny ones, and excellent painting on the stones,
very well done sir, hope your rules arrive soon, as it's a fun game.

modelling, sculpting and painting is ace!
-

-
Great conversions and the pentagrams are fabulous!!
-
what they said. :o :-*

Thank you all, I'm very humbled by the positive response. I had hoped to be able to show some new stuff but I've been pretty swamped the last week. I'll try to paint up something more before the weekend, though.
Also: My book arrived today! Hooray!

So I've made a Werewolf.
(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z264/gabrielforsen/were.jpg)
It's not 100% done yet. I still need to fix a base for it and maybe do some tweaks here and there, but at least now you can see what it is.
Conversionwise the feet and head are from a a Tharn Wolfrider's, well, wolf, and the pants are modded from a Cadian Stormtrooper. The rest of the model is greenstuff.
-
You've done a great job on the torso and arms. Spot on conversion :)
-
very lupine indeed. Great conversion.
-
I am not sure it can be still called a conversion :)
if one looks how the pros usually work, it might already be a sculpt ;)
at least for me
good job :-*
