Trav Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Can I see how people have adapted the plastic whit king to be equipped with the standard? Looking for inspiration. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Or have an idea how best to convert one? Is it easy to get the shield off and swap with a hand holding a banner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid_Nine Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 just used an empire general with it's banner for it, erasing the sigmar stuff. it works well, as it is a grim reaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I used the banner from the Black Knights set and did him holding a lance instead of the sword. Not the greatest and not strictly wysiwyg, but that shield is practically impossible to remove without resculpting half of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Here's mine. Picture taken before I started repainting it, so it's rather out of date, but the conversion's there. LotR Barrow Wight plus some brass wire and empire general/bsb bits. Probably the best/easiest basis for a wight king BSB conversion these days is the leader out of the shardspire skeleton box. Just clip off the head of their spear and affix your preferred banner top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingmma Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 The nurgle banner from the chaos space marine box has a good number of skeletal components that would go well imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymajq Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I use my sepulchral guard leader ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingmma Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The banner is made from an eternal guard spear, a dark angels veteran accessory and chunks from a nurgle banner from the chaos space marine box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke82 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I bashed this one together with spare parts and a bit of greenstuff for the cape. The standard is from the avatars of war corrupters of the apocalypse box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5kaven5lave Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 These are really good guys, thanks for the inspiration. Might actually inspire me to start kitbashing for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commisarp Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I happen to be working on on of these. Body is The Warden (from shadespire) we had a spare set because my wife needed the cards for her stormcast. Head, swords and banner fabric are from skeleton warriors. Banner top is left over from assembling coven throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deynon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Here it's mine. and it's base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Rage Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Mine is just a regular old banner with the arm clomped off. It's not finished (need more paints) , but I don't always have in on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogmaadn Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Nice ideas here! I'm thinking about using The Warden from Shadespire and just adding any random banner to the spear. However, this model seem to fit for a Wight King with a blade, but what if I'd rather want to equip him with a double axe? What do you think the best alternatives are? Btw, what's the correct round base size you are using for the Wight King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogmaadn Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thank you @deynon I was looking at the Warden model from Shadespire and I've seen it looks pretty much like a standard-sized skeleton on a 25mm base. Is this correct? If so, I guess I can just rebase him to a 32mm round base, but what about the model size itself? Since the Warden looks like a standard skeleton and not a Wight King, is it allowed to use him as a Wight King anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgregs Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I put this guy together recently. Body is the chaos sorcerer lord. Banner is from the chaos warriors sprue. Head and sword hand from the grave guard kit. Banner head from the corpse cart. Can't remember were the chain mail on the waist is from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Warden looks like a standard skeleton and not a Wight King, is it allowed to use him as a Wight King anyway? there are not official changes about the size of bases for the models. So till now all the wight king ones have a 20mm square base or a 25mm round one. Using a 32mm it's perfectly possible. The base is not about the size of the model itself. Using a 25 or a 32mm one you gain some advantages and disadvanrages. You can use that model withou any problem. Maybe it would be better to personalize it a bit, but it's diatinguishible from the other models, so no problem on the field about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people would be fine with you using the Warden as a Wight King with the conversion above. The Warden is different enough for somebody not to confuse them with a skeleton. The key bit is to change the shield arm to a sword and I'd say to do something to the head (ideally they need a crown). You could also easily remove the tombstone under the foot to just change it up a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly the Grave Guard look like they're on 32's too although that's an optical illusion according to the box contents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerly for foot characters I prefer a 32mm, but there is not , for now, a real rule about it^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise my idea was to just use warden's spear as a banner, but I'll try to replace his standard head with a more appealing one as well, and also replacing the shield with a sword (however I'm not used to do conversions so I hope it doesn't take too difficult to remove and replace this).

Sheep-counter Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just built this today. Ordered a horse off eBay, used the left overs from a black knight set and threw in a couple of bits from the mortarch sprue to spruce it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
