Hi!! I'm proud to show my first conversion for my Wild Rider, the Wild Rider Chief.
1) Left: Straight from sprue.
2) Center: Yeah, the Boss, he is an Harlequin torso, Swooping hawk wing in the engine and a pair of little plasticard spike.
3) Right: Banner added .
I painted this with a black base, Red (from scab to blood several hands), the engine is a try, bleached bone and white, gens are red.
Not painted but ready to go under my evil hands are:
1) Wild Rider 2: Dire Avenger Head, Howling banshee arm and sword and swooping hawk wing.
2) Warlock: Warlock with spear torso and arms.
3) Farseer: Farseer with sword torso, Exarch wing on engine.
When I paint them I'll post them, I hope soon.

Very nice. The picture seems a little 'bright', I find moving a bit further away can help this (although I am by no means an expert... )
Is the detail on the front freehand, if so its very impressive, and even if it isnt (transfers?) it works really well.
Look forward to seeing the others...

Nice minis! If you were using a flash, I suggest turning it off. Tends to glare a bit.
Keep up the good work!
my 2cents,

Awesome!
I find "freehand" very hard "in-my-hands", so its great to see such stellar work by others. I really like the colors, and the sword on the center rider.
Please post more pics, and if you are able, pics of that blue titan. That was really cool.

Brilliant work. Very nice simple & effective conversion, finished off with some great painting & the freehand work adds a great touch. Keep it up!

Great freehand runes, well done Zerloon.
Any chance of seeing some more images of the Warlock titan you entered in the painting comp?

Heh!
Gulp - nice work too. I will risk a slight comment - how about a spot of thinned flesh wash on the unhelmeted Eldars face? Would bring out his features nicely. Careful, though, don't touch the rest of the stuff - it's really great. And this is just a nitpick.
