CONVERSION: FROM VINDICARE ASSASSIN TO VAN SAAR LEADER OF NECROMUNDA. YEAR: 2012

Between different request that we have, we want to show you a small conversion that one client asked us. He sent us a metallic miniature of a Van Saar Leader of Necromunda (specialist in weapons and technology) and a Vindicare Assassin with Exitus Pistol from Grey Knights.

The idea was to cut off the original Van Saar miniature's head and change it for the Assassin's one and replace the Exitus pistol for a generic Bolt Pistol. Moreover, we used a file tool to erase some Imperial icons from weapons and different parts of the uniform, a couple of tubes from chest and back and polish all the shoulder's area to set the new Van Saar head. For the Assassin we had to desing with green stuff new shoulder and knee pads and improved on the unions of the head and the Bolt Pistol wrist.

Here you have got the reference of how the Assassin was at the beggining and it should look finally transformed in a Van Saar leader. 

         

Then we painted the miniature following the instructions that our client provided us. As a detail, we want to tell you that the miniature had no base, so after consulting his owner, we created that rusted and dirty environment that a futuristic hive city could have. This has been the result:

Now photos about the conversion process at the moment where the head and the Bolter Pistol were replaced on the Assassin's miniature.

Finally we want to show you how shoulder and knee pads were created and how the miniature still unpainted was with his new accessories.

 Van Saar ready to loot the hive city and kill other gangs!

Cheers!!
