Stunning job until now Michael! 
Looking at your paintjob (and previous ones too! In particular your oldschool-giants collection) I'm seriously wondering: why did you ask me to paint for you? was it only the bargain price?
Keep going mate!

Not really. If you have a very large lead pile there are so many miniatures you would like to paint, but you can't do all the work yourself as you wouldn't live for around 200 years, won't you? Soooo, when I see someone painting nicely AND offering a paint job AND is not too expensive, I can't resist. 

Well yes, "not too expensive" is a bit sophisticated ...
 

Hey, what about your other paint jobs? Anything to show?

  I know, some italian clients of mine thinks exactly in the same way It was only to say that your paintjob is bloody cool!
In this period I'm studying hard (as always in these last 5 years  ) and so I've done only a few new minis. A couple more skaven for Adam (Thebinmann) and a GW Konrad von Carnstein for my fellow Calopide. I've converted some reinassance imperial zombies too... I'll send you a link when I'll have take some pics mate
BTW this project of yours is really brilliant and I'm eagerly awaiting for update so keep going! And...add one more to the list: I'd really like to see your perry's minis alltogheter with Captain's ones.

Well, it's been a while, but the potential of the WotR-plastics seems to be endless, and as I've been so inspired this afternoon, I want to show my new creation in a proper place. I know it's fantasy, but I think the moderator won't mind to see it here, especially as it should be something never tried before (as far as I know).   The painted version will appear in the Fantasy board once it's finished.

Ok, here comes the armoured centaur:










A couple of weeks ago I browsed through a John Howe artbooks and admired his plate armour sketches like the following one; I knew immediately that I must try to convert a WotR-knight into a plate armoured centaur. Hope you like it ...

That's CRAZY, dude.

EDIT: I'll do one as well. XD

Ingenious Michael 

[OSHIROmodels]

Rather different but it works

[Hubbynz]

[Jevenkah]

Looking forward to seeing him painted,

The armoured centaur is very impressive - well done

[NurgleHH]

Great Work. I think I will work more with plastic after your work

[painterman]

Great creative idea and very well done (so we'll allow it to reside on a historical board!!). 
Simon.

[Bugsda]

That's just flat out genius 

[B.E.A.R]

Great conversion work! I too find inspiration from John Howe's artwork.

[Faber]

Whoa! Splendid conversion. 
I have to say that I've seen a couple of very similar conversion with fantasy gw plastic bits, but with those perry's the result is far better. Lookin forward to see it painted Michael!
