Illithid Warband and others: Elementalist conversion update

[srba]

Afraid not. Been in London a few years via Manchester.

Tsk tsk, leaving the fold...
Looking forward to seeing more of your work anyway

Where the heads of your wizard come from ?

[srba]

They are GW genestealer heads with green stuff tentacles.

Hmph, what, no giant spider as your warhound?

Are you sticking in some Underdark terrain, or using regular stuff?

Spiders would look cool, and they're an option, but what I didn't want to do was make it too much of a drow party. They already make up half the warband in number.

As for scenery, I haven't even considered it. I haven't really the space to store any let alone make it.

On a different note, I assume it's ok to go off topic on my own thread right? Just thought I'd do a bit of an image dump of some of the other minis I've been working on with Frostgrave in mind, including my ill-fated Final Fantasy warband:


Gandalf-esque grey wizard


Black Mage Elementalist and White Mage Apothecary


Another elementalist WIP - biggest green stuff effort of mine thus far, I think.


A couple more Black Mages. I couldn't settle on one.


WIP on one of the mages above. This was the second thing I'd ever made with green stuff. I'm really pleased with how it turned out but it gave me unrealistic expectations of what I'd be able to achieve in the future I think.

Oh, yess, really love the soaring/flaming skull effort on your elementalist  .

[beefcake]

Very nice work on the sculpting there.

[Rob_bresnen]

you mind flayer war band is superb for a number of reasons.

1) the strong themed colour and muted shades makes a dramatic impact
2) you conversions are very nicely executed
3) there is a lovely strong character and narrative through out the war band
4) you have managed the drow skin very skillfully
5) you black is beautifully highlighted, which is never easy.


I look forward to seeing more of your work

I've sent you a PM regarding thd displacer beast. Just so you don't miss it.

[myincubliss]

I LOVE those Black Mages! 

[srba]

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I've ordered a Reaper Bones Ice Devil to convert into an Umber Hulk so should have some additions to display soon. I'll also post up my painting progress on my elementalist when I make some.

It occurred to me that a goblin of some kind might be a better source of a body for my svirfneblin than a gnome or halfling so I'm hopeful of tracking down something I like for that soon too.

[The Voivod]

Great stuff again.
What do you use for snow effects?

Hmph, what, no giant spider as your warhound?

Mind flayer warhounds?  I prefer something more intellect-devouer-ish, eg:

[srba]

Yeah, I do like the idea of intellect devourers, and yours look great with those added tentacle things, but to my mind those reaper ones are just a bit too big. I like the one that comes with the Galeforce 9 Illithid Raiding Party, but can't find anything like that as a one- (or two-) off.
