Wight king on "Skeletal Mount"

Recommended Posts

There are some idea that maybe never should see the sunlight... unlucklyly it exists also the moonlight

So I started from a miniature of a box that I bought some years ago... here you can see "hot to build it up"...

Then you built it up from the scratch...

And the n you take a normal Black knight to see if it can be used in a good way...

Now I was thinking about creating some armour to cover some parts and maybe using some ethereal flase on other ones... some suggestion to improve it?^^

I think it's just too crude to use unless you happen to be an expert sculptor who could both carve the bones into a more detailed shape, and layer on greenstuff to give a much more detailed surface.

I'm not a good sculptor, but cause there are not avalaible skeleton mounts outside there I'm thinking to give a try. Some port as the tail and the head are simple to  morph. 

What it's really troublesome are the legs cuase they require quaite a bit of work.

Surely I'll need quite a bit of greenstuf^^

Tyranid gaunts have lots of bony pieces that you could swap in for the parts that remained exposed after adding your greenstuff armour. Also i think the big box of skulls would be a good source for a head.

I have those models, but there are more meat than bones and they are quite short too as size. Even taking note about a carnifex there is not so much bones to talk about, almost everything is about meat also there.

Yes there are, quick Google turned up this link. Quality isn't amazing but it's better than this kit

  • 9 months later...

Finally I realised my personal wight king. the project has taken a complete different path from the beginning one 

And cause I realised a complete video about it, I let you see it^^ 

The previous project anyway is still ongoing, simply I had another idea and I had to bring forth that.

Anyway any other suggestion is still welcome^^

Cant you buy some secondhand old skellie steeds? Still seem them around here on buy/sell sites.

I have plenty of them.  I wanted something peculiar and a bit bigger.

I wanted something that could make my Wight king  recognizable on the field and not lost on sight. Something rurely much better than that awful GW one.
