Kaladrax and the wand of death diorama

[Metalchaos]

Kaladrax and the wand of death, turning those it slays into undead horrors.

I modified this first edition of 10012, Kaladrax so that it looks like he's giving an order pointing its left index at an enemy or direction. I also converted the bones of the right hand and added a Wand of death in his closed fist. The Wand of death comes from Reaper's 10005, The Court of Abyst boxed set. On the base, I used natural rocks, Army Painter Wasteland Tuft and natural dry lichen as tumbleweed.

10012, Kaladrax the Dire Drake was sculpted by Jim Johnson. The 03815 Skeletal Halfling, 03816 Skeletal Elf, 03817 Skeletal Dwarf and 03820 Skeletal Minotaur were all sculpted by Bob Ridolfi.

The palette you've chosen works supremely well.  Excellent painting, terraining, and staging too!

A true masterpiece. The idea is original and superb! The conversions are spot on and your painting skillz are like icing on the topf of the cake! Awesome to the bone (pun intended )!

Loved it before but now you have created a story! Very cool and well painted!

[Glitterwolf]

Amazing!

I love the idea of Kaladrax acting as an Undead General and directing his troops to the living!

 

The cinversion is well executed and you did a great paintjob on all of them!

[BananeDC]

Great work, thanks for sharing it !

[Pillpeddler]

That's a really cool piece of work.  Unless, of course, you are the pali or cleric that has to deal with it, then not so cool. 

Good paintin

Thanks for your kind comments everyone. Although Kaladrax was one of the most challenging model I ever assembled, I'm very happy with the diorama. Removing the mold lines took a lot of time, especially along the tail and the rib cage. The Skeletal creatures were fairly easy to prep and and a lot of fun to paint.
