Croctober 2022 Figure- Sebeki Nipper

This little guy has been waiting for this day for a whole year. Now he can go gather some treats throughout Crocodiliopolis. Or perhaps he's cosplaying as an Asar Blade Dancer and attending AntediluviaCon with his pals.

This Nipper's paint scheme was pretty straightforward. I knew the bag needed to have a face on it, but not clearly a jack-o-lantern. The eyes were originally more Eye of Horus, but they were modified near the end when the yellow eyes seemed like a great addition.

I had planned on using some pigment powder as the makeup areas. Sadly they were all too dark and didn't work on him. Then I thought maybe some baking soda would work. It did not.

 I finally went with some layers of pink paints to give him that Blade Dancer cosplay look. I like it.

Ankhara City of the Dead Part 3

The mummified madness of Necropolis28/Ankhara City of the Dead (the name may be changed) continues. This time we have two Crypt Lords converted to hopefully be pretty cool.

First up is a Khemru Crypt Lord figure from Crocodile Games, converted with a fancy shield and a spear from a Mummy Warrior (both from Crocodile Games). I've painted up at least one other version of this sculpt but I didn't find it when I was looking through the Eater of the Dead army bag.

I gave him a limited edition shield with only some minor scratches and chunks out of it. His left hand has an Anubi severed head, but since the unconverted version has that head I figured snipping it off and putting a shield there would be a good way to distinguish the two figures apart.

His right hand was actually given to the recent Anubi Mummy conversion. This spear hand came from one of the many Mummy Warrior conversion I did long long ago during the Ankhara World Campaign. I think it fits his pose pretty well.

I had this conversion (or at least a variation on it) bouncing around in my head for years now. When I got a box of the Wyrmspat Warcry warband I knew I wanted to convert one of the two warrior guys to have a hippo head to be used in WarGods.

The hippos head came from an olde Ral Partha hippo. It was a struggle to get the metal head removed, but thanks to a little hobby saw this time (I converted a mummy warrior for the Ankhara Campaign, but he had a very thin body. This chubby fellow looked much better as a hippo guy.

Strips of masking tape were carefully wrapped over most of the parts that looked too out of place in the world of WarGods (like the boots). He's not the greatest mummy conversion I've ever done, but I like how he came out.
