Toddy Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 My growing Deathrattle army is looking for a Necromancer. Whilst the GW Necromancer is pretty cool, I'd much prefer a 'Skeleton' version to keep in theme! Only obvious candidates I've come across are Arkhan the Black (but he's obviously Arkhan the Black! Plus I think the scale of the Mortarch rider is too large for a foot soldier), or the old Tomb King models. Most of the latter I've seen are rather old sculpts, and anyway look too Egyptian. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I kinda like the one from Mantic, he is just called "Undead Necromancer" I think. But keep in mind that he has a bit of a difference in visual style compared to GW Skeletons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Get the GW Necromancer, give him a skull and skellie arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divinemadman Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I really like this conversion with the archmage from spire of dawn and skeleton bits. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/252272016605550606/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillofNagash Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I think that Arkhan looks awesome as a liche priest. That's kinda what i did for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I converted the high elf mage from the old starter box with bits stolen from spare warsphynx riders to make my liche priest / skeletal necromancer: Stole the idea from Storm-of-Iron's Arkhan conversion for his old Tomb Kings army (glaven.net/tomb-kings). He just replaced the head, rather than the head, chest, and arms: Obviously the warsphynx rider bits might be a bit egyptian for you, and are very hard to come by these days regardless, but you might be able to rig up something similar using maybe grave guard or black knight bits. Arkhan from the mortarch box is in a larger scale, his bits might not mix in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toddy Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks everyone! The conversions from the Spire of Dawn mage are great. Though I'm not really one for doing conversions myself.
