Kallus Conversion: Kallyse, Rage of Everblight

Original upload date: August 31 2014 – July 2 2015

Kallus

Kallus’s attrition play-style appeals to me but his model didn’t. Specifically, I disliked his oversized shoulder pads and enormous torso. Even these pictures don’t do justice to the scale of that thing!

Kallus Conversion

I decided to remove the torso and turn Kallus into a chick to better fit in with the rest of my sexy Legion girls. I was planning on removing the shoulder pads altogether but then I became worried that I was skirting a little too close to the 50% original model requirement for legal PP conversions (as of reposting, this rule is no longer a requirement). That’s when I noticed that Kallus’s shoulder pads are effectively two sectioned armour plates and I decided to try removing the larger one of the halves.

Kallus Conversion

I’m quite happy with it; I think it retains the original’s aesthetic but it will be much smaller and more feminine. As I was discussing my ideas with the hubby it annoyed me when I had to refer to my model as “Kallus”. My model isn’t Kallus any more so I needed a new name to reflect my incarnation of the Warlock. So Kallus, Wrath of Everblight became Kallyse, Rage of Everblight. Here’s my first attempt at horns, using my last spare Eiryss3 head as the base.

Here’s a shot after I’ve started joining it all together and sculpting the hair.

And here’s the finished conversion. I’m really, really happy about how she turned out. She might be my best yet.

In addition to the original Kallus model, I used Eiryss3’s head and a succubus arm for this mod.

And here’s the finished model. She gave me a bit of trouble… I had to reassemble her (include resculpting and attaching a new horn) and I repainted her when I wasn’t happy with my attempt at OSL. I’m still not completely happy with the light effects but it’s a skill I can work on in the future.

I was going for an Angelina Jolie look with her face. I also gave her slightly different coloured blight spots than my usual Legion. It’s a little easier to see from the back view:

Beast Mistress

I wasn’t a fan of the the Beast Mistress’ back banner so I left it off the model.

I was initially upset when I found out that Legion aren’t getting our own Lesser Warlock, but then I realised that our pseudo-lesser warlock isn’t character restricted so perhaps that is an advantage.

Iron Kingdoms Roleplay Character Conversion: Aeryn Asir

Original upload date: August 10 2014 – April 1 2015

This is my character for an Iron Kingdoms game that I’ve just started. Aeryn Asir is a Highwayman/Mage Hunter, although I’m just using the classes as a template so theme-wise she’s more of a Light Cavalry Assassin.

Eiryss Mage Hunter Commander

Aeryn was born to a Seeker of Scyrah who was searching for one of the lost gods in Khador. The family stayed in Khador when the Iosans locked themselves away, so Aeryn has never seen her people’s homeland. She has simple needs: she just wants a dry place to sleep, fresh food and above all else she looks after her horse; Mishka.

I used the Eiryss model because I really like the sculpt but because Aeryn is a cavalry character, I need a second version on a mount. So I’ve bought another Eiryss and the Jeremiah Kraye model to combine into mounted Aeryn.

Iron Kingdoms Conversion

This was my first conversion where I really baulked at the cost. I’ll think twice before playing another mounted character… This is also my first attempt at curly hair. I’m satisfied with it but I think next time I’ll try to put more texture into the curls. My original plan was to have Aeryn’s cloak folding behind her, but I didn’t want to obscure all of the nifty details on Kraye’s horse. I figured the material looks stiff enough to drape out behind.

Iron Kingdoms Conversion

And here’s the painted version:

Iron Kingdoms Conversion

In the last few months she’s proven herself to be a formidable assassin. She’ll scale sheer walls, sneak in undetected and blow her enemies apart before they can react. She seems an odd fit for the mercenary company as she doesn’t care about the gold at all. She clearly has her own agenda and only time will tell what that is.

Bane Riders

Original upload date: July 18 2014 – October 4 2014

I did a very small conversion on my Bane Riders. I changed the angles of the leader mount’s rear legs so that it’s rearing up above the others. The Denny bit on the base is an extra I had laying around. I was going to use it as my pDenny but in the end I preferred the plastic one. Now it will become a bronze statue seeping into the sludge. I also swapped the arms of two riders to avoid duplicates.

Bane Riders

Here are the finished models. Sorry about the photo quality. The Bane Riders have an amazing amount of detail on them and the large bases took extra long to dry.
