Converted Riding Dog from 77038, Hell Hound

[Metalchaos]

Hi everyone, Now that the contest is over, here are more pictures of my converted 77038, Hell Hound. The original sculpt is by Ben Siens. This was my entry in Reaper's Facebook Convert and Paint contest. Khan is my elf riding dog in our D&D campaign. The contest was the perfect pretexte to make this conversion. I first removed all the spikes and flames on the hound's back. I then built the armor and saddle using green stuff and a paperclip. The chest is from Reaper's 02638, adventuring accessories. There were amazing entries in the contest and I managed to get an honorable mention. Thanks to Reaper miniatures and Matthew Clark for organizing this contest.

I love the sculpting you added and the work done on that vicious face!

Fantastic job! I would not have recognized it as the hell hound without the before picture.

The texturing on that saddle is worthy of special praise! Sweet conversion, great paint job!

The Hound is an OUTSTANDING conversion, WONDERFULLY detailed, AND BEAUTIFULLY painted. VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like what I did.

 

Khan is Kiarah Amanodel's riding dog in my D&D campaign. Kiarah is my female elf druid character. She is only 90 pounds but together with Khan they are an efficient team. Kiarah raised Khan to hunt the orcs of the region after their quiet grove was raided by the Ragged Wound Tribe. Kiarah's lover was killed during the raid, so now the vengeful elf travels with her mysterious daughter to inflict harm on those who murdered Leonan.

 

It's in my plans to make another version of the model with the Kiarah riding Khan to battle.

Wow!!

Wow indeed!  In addition to the amazing work on the conversion itself, the paint job is superb. Love the contrast between the black and tan natural colors on the dog and the bright red and gold on the barding.

Wonderful conversion and sculpting! Never would have seen the hell hound unless you showed it.

[paintybeard]

Excellent work on the conversion and the fur texture is outstanding.

This is what I would call a real "handy" dog haha. Fantastic!!! Awesome sculpting skills you show here and the painting is also quite good. Great work, thumbs up!!!

this is really impressive,  great inspiration for those thinking about conversions . Really like how you used normal things laying around the house, like the paperclip,  to create it . The sculpting is killer though
