Here are a number of WIPs and conversions that I am working on.  First a Grymn:

Nice work on the conversions Inso. I can't wait to see them painted up.

frog people are great! What sort of colour scheme you going for with them?

Frog people from where?! Tut tut  :icon_razz:

The hockey sticks are pure genius. As someone who used to play hockey at school, trust me, anyone with a hockey stick turns into a psycho.

Cheers!  Glad you like them.

I know what you mean about hockey sticks...I still have the psychological scars from playing hockey at school (and a few physical ones as well).  These will be painted in metals... :icon_twisted:.

As for colour schemes, the only thing that I'm set on at the moment is a light desert sand colour for the robes.  I may paint the faces to match my Alien...but I can't say what colour that is until voting finishes  :icon_tears:...The alien could act as a sort of overlord for them (although I haven't really thought about it too much).

Forgive my ignorance but... the bodies for the frogpeople, what are they from? Did those figures come with separate heads or did you have to remove them?
Very clean sculpting on all the conversions.

The bodies for the Frog people are GW Night Goblins.  The faces had to be removed with a Dremmel before I started.

The faces were a doddle to sculpt but had to be done in 4 stages, so they took a lot of drying time.

I will sort a tutorial out when I get the time.  I've finished all the faces, so I'll have to find a spare Night Goblin and knock one up.  I'm sure that it will be some time this coming week.  I've already said I'd do one for the FoD so I'll post it on both forums  :icon_razz:.
