Venusian Parrotmen - colors?

[Furt]

Must take a picture of my finished force.

Yes please do.

OK, as requested, some of my Dutch Venusian Parrotmen. A little cringe inducing, especially oversized, but I said that I would post them....   Sorry about the lousy quality of the photos - pictures were taken with and without flash, and without was even worse. And the blue of the pants.... my lord, the pics look nothing like the reality. But oh well, here they are:









Very easy conversions - Perry Napoleonic British Riffleman bodies but off at the boot. Kroot head and feet added. You can angle your but on the boot and calf to make some interesting poses, from standing straight up, to leaning forward in a predatory manner. The arms are straight Kroot arms, with green stuff sleeves (poorly sculpted) and the muscles on the arms obscured with plastic cement. I elected to keep the Kroot weapons as is - I was encouraged to get rid of the blades, but I just love the look of them so much. There are veritably dozens of possible poses. A very fun conversion, and a unit of them moving across the table is enough to turn the enemies stomach's turning.

Next up: Parrotmen cavalry.

I did mine in turquoise/bronze.

Very nice Harrison Tichner conversion, by the way!

I noticed that too. Great conversion, and I really love the base model. I just converted one for my Dutch.

I painted my parakeetmen  in a turquoise blue with yellowish beige details, both in 40k as in Epic scale (for FWC), mainly because that contrasted with the light grey / blueish grey colourscheme of the regular `Cybernetic Species X31`

Cheers.  The original is a great figure.  The conversion was just a simple head-swap.  I wanted a 'bad-ass' looking VSF leader dude, and they seem pretty hard to find

Chairface, I love your conversions.

I'd really like to do something similar...
