IP Stealer Hybrid Enfant Terrible

I needed a diversion so created a (second) conversion.

This little purple terror tot began it's existence as a Four A miniatures demonic imp... I'd been indulging in a bit of nostalgia fuelled Space Hulk (certainly buying it on Ebay a year after release was an indulgence) and was thus inspired to transform him/it...

Other ingredients: Vallejo/Citadel paints
Citadel base coat brush (for rough application and mixing)
Windsor&Newton series 16 size 1 (for more pleasant work)
Pro-create for the bug
Green stuff for the base
Heresy Ghoul King base corpse.. for the corpse

If I had a glue gun I'd be tempted to add some gunge..but I don't at this time.

Pimped Goth Cherub

First one in maybe 10 years.

Converted Malifaux Cherub, painted with a combination of Vallejo and Citadel paints.

Converted elements were achieved with the usual putties... base was a carved cork; thin wire for the flower stems.. flower heads extremely fiddly, but how could I say no?

I found painting to be extremely absorbing... I made a coffee, sat down to tackle the skin ..and noticed 3 hours later that I hadn't taken a sip.

 I'd hope to smooth out blending on the next few figures.. probably invest in a set of inks for washes.

On the whole was pleased to discover the basic motor skills are still intact..
