 YES IT IS! This is one of my entries to the MWC September Conversion Contest. I made this conversion with the intention of bringing a little bit of the fantasy back into 40K. The Dark Elf Black Dragon model was just too cool to pass up, so I tried to find a way to make it a 40K vehicle and this is what I came up with. Essentially on the table this would count as a Dark Eldar Ravager with 2 Disintegrator Cannons and one Dark Lance. I added subtle cybernetics all over it and modified the rider to have more Dark Eldar looking armor vs. Dark Elf. A left over Finecast Archon helmet was just the bit of dandy fopism I needed for the rider and voila! I magnetized the 60mm base to the resin Plinth I picked up from Secret weapon Miniatures to allow me to use it both as a gaming model and a display model. When I wnat to game with is I simply "pop" the plinth off.          This wounded Marine is certainly saying to himself "Holy Throne! What the hell is that thing!"

Man that is awesome, though I think it would be getting Ravagers in a Heamo theme List , sure a planet connected to a webway could have dragon-like Xeno lifeforms , Urien and chums would have a blast turning it into a big flapping gotesqu-like thing with lazors strapped to it. If I ever were to do a FREAKS list ... |

Thanks for all the compliments everyone! I had a ton of fun converting this one. He's on the painting block very soon, going to be a massive airbrush project with veiny translucent looking bat wings and lots of glowing gems. Even still it will probably be at least 2 months before I finish it with my new little human clone sucking up all my hobby time

Thats awesome man. I like the wiring, a great way to show that it's under the Eldarian's control. The wounded marine is a nice touch as well.

Awesome! Especially the head implants, those really help blend the model and rider together! |

On Warseer a member asked me for backstory, so I figured I'd share it here as well. ----------------- I envision him as kind of Dark Eldar Large Game Catcher. Someone that on raids to exotic worlds captures strange beasts for sale or trade when he gets back to the Dark City. He sells these beasts to the wealthy elite for their private eclectic zoo's and personal hunting grounds. In doing so he aligns himself with the most wealthy and powerful Kabals and always gets a favor in return somewhere down the road. It might be an odd job, but eh, it's a living  During raids he only uses the biggest most bad [arse] of all the beasts he's ever captured ad his personal steed. With the help of a Coven that he did an unusual and exceptional job for a few centuries ago, was able to augment the beast with cybernetics and a neural transmitter that allows him complete control and a telepathic mind link. Only the best of the best for this guy! |

Really nice work, not very often that you see anything like this anymore and it looks really cool. Looking forward to seeing the painting start, sounds like an excellent idea to me. |

Well, I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said, it's a dragon with lasers. Works for me. |
