The idea for foot Vasken came from an earlier post on
Eternal Champions. Schmendrick just did not become the army leader I had orginally hoped. Black Vasken on the other hand has risen through the ranks and has several versions already.
I thought it time for him to have a foot version, and what better time then right after my paint a Trish entry of a rearing Marauder Unicorn conversion.
As you can see I've used a grenadier chaos warrior body, chaos knight
head, and the sword from a 4th ed Necromancer. The frill and any
embellishments have all been sculpted with green stuff.
Here we have black Vasken atop his back alley throne.
When he is not doing that he is usually wrestling with giant worms.
And finally with his trusty mount Kringer
Great looking conversion, and really nice to see all the different options available for him
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. Having all those options really expands his playability. I have so many ideas right now.
DeleteGreat choice for the base mini Grove! The proportions fit the head perfectly. I like his eyes, the red and green flashes look ace!
ReplyDeletep.s. I hope your hands have recovered from all that sawing :p
Thanks Erasmus! Ya I really worked hard in the face on this one. It’s slightly different then the others and it really came through. Ya between this one and the pegacorn sawing my arm is done. Lol
DeleteDamn, lmao you’re killing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Inquisitor 😉
DeleteOh my! That's truly impressive Grove. Vasken is the definition of scary-ass-awesome! And he rides the unicorn! I did not see that coming! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Composer. He is comfortable enough in his evil to ride the unicorn. Lol His story line might be changing a bit to be a follower of Solkan so the unicorn will make more sense under a god of law.
DeleteI long ago began to think of Vasken as a kind of almost good-guy chaos warrior. I'd have pegged him as kind of chaotic good, which ain't too Citadel, but works well with the Uni-Khorne.
DeleteHahahaha Uni-Khorne
DeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dyer
DeleteYour foot version of Vasken is great - he excudes menace, and that crested helmet is iconic! Love his ride too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon...I learned my green stuff work from watching the best. 😉
DeleteSuperb conversion and I'm sure having a foot version of Vasken will open up more opportunities for using him.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan...yup that’s the idea. Hoping to get him into dungeons and buildings and stuff now. Really ups the rpg type elements.
DeleteThat is totally badass Tom! Great choice of body you've gone for there. Good work on the green stuff too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed glad you dig it. It was a bit of work but totally worth the effort.
DeleteI like what you did here! Pretty bold decisions, and they were rewarded!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber. Tracking down everything was a little tougher this go around, but it all worked out. Glad you like it.
DeleteYep, I really like how you don't just have the different visualisation of Vasken, but will modify his profile to better fit the scenario. Very creative and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks Major! You can always tweak a stat line. ;)
DeleteI love that crazy voodoo that you do so well Grover. Vasken is the Eternal Badass, wrestling giant worms across the multiverse, great stuff :D
ReplyDeleteThanks M8. 🥰
DeleteI love to see many different versions of the same characters, it really gives him depth and all.
ReplyDeleteHe is a fun character to keep expanding. Hoping someday he can take on your army of Law
DeleteGreat conversion and paint. There’s something very unique and retro about your approach to the hobby and the models you make. Reminds me of cartoons I used to watch as a kid in th 80s and 90s (thundercats, He-man etc.).
ReplyDeleteThanks Anthony that means a lot! Saturday morning cartoons are what fuels my inspiration. ;)
DeleteBrilliant, mate--well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Buddy!
