Dinosaurs versus Robots.

That sounds so cool it might make diorama title =]

But now for an update. I have done all the work i can on it until i purchase more pieces, namely an autarch to place on top of the carnosaur, a necron lord, and maybe a few plastic necrons. I also need to purchase a tree or two as the base will look bland otherwise.





The paint blemishs on the carnosaurs shoulder and tail have been fixed, the camera has much better eyesight than i do!
I figured that i would paint the beast first before adding the lord as it will give me a better idea on how it will all look when complete.



Here it is mounted on the base, it looks ok i think, it has *rolling grassland* look to it at the moment, once the necrons have been added, and a few trees, it will have the thriving forest feel i am after.

Thats all for now, i will be at warhammer world this weekend so will be able to purchase a nice Exodite Lord.
Until then, Comments and Criticisms?

I think the colour scheme looks great. Never seen such dark colours on a Carnosaur. The yellow looks ace with the black and grey.

UPDATE.

Finally got the parts this weekend for my actual Exodite Lord and so have spent the evening putting him together and painting him.

The conversion was using yriel, hollowing out his cloak between his legs and mounting him on the carnosaur. A lot of elbow grease went into this.
The cloak was very fiddly to remove
The spines needed to be cut out as the lord wasnt sitting happily
A *cushion* needed to be fashioned for him to sit on
I tried to give him a chainsword in his other hands, but it was very fragile and eventually broke off mid painting, and therefore he had to keep his original force sheild.

But, through all the challenges, i think he came out ok
The camera has betrayed me again, and iv noticed errors in the paint job (and that his spear was bent!) These have since been rectified.





Comments?
One thing to be noted is that this is half way point through the diorama, things which still needed to be added are jungle plants and necron's.

But for now, here it is. =]

Might want a bit more detail in the face and spear.

Other than that, looks ace, keep it up!

He would have looked so cool with a chainsword, shame it didn't work.

Perhaps the Necron should be a destroyer lord, so they can be on the same level? The Autarch would have a massive height advantage otherwise.

Finished =]

So, things i have done since my last post?
Added Lichen to the Diorama base,
Add jungly bits which were purchased from ebay, i think they originally come from an aquarium plant set but i cannot be to sure.
Brought necrons, and cut them apart.
Greenstuffed *gauss-stuff* across the floor in replica of the dawn of war ressurection orb ability.
Painted everything
Glued it down.

So yeah, Comments and Criticisms?
I hope to enter it into the local diorama competition next month and so i hope it comes out with a decent score.

Cold one, with the knight legs on a round base, use a knife to cut the bottom of the DA torso to make it flat, then glue it to the knight legs and voila, easy Dragon Avenger
