last friday we were playing warmachine - again after over 2 months of break
we were hahing great time and because of this and because I got legends rulebook I decided to add a little sth to my force - the nightmare
the model looks like this:

it's based on slayer construction (the guy below) and it's personal jack of my favourite caster - deneghra

the problem is I don't like the nightmare model BUT I like slayer a lot - so much that I wanna convert slayer into nightmare - these jacks are same size but the nightmare is over twice expensive!!!
I have some ideas so far but if you have any more - put them here

and I quite like the original model,
much less enthusiastic about the paintjob on it...

I would just remove the building and the kid.

I'd do the same;
I really don't like the arms but it has a reach special rule so it's justified - more-less
what I really can't stand is the cost

do you have to convert it at all?
you can change the pose of the slayer with regards to that 'reach' rule, but I don't know if PP jacks are easy-to-convert models. perhaps you can add some chains and skulls, as seen on the nightmare. perhaps some censers or torches. I don't know, I'm not really familiar with PP universe, don't know what would fit. Then painting more elaborate than usual, a freehand or two and there you go

BTW, I could find use for that hiding girl, if anyone here doesn't want her on the base, pm me

I'm here with Phil - for me you could just use the unconverted model. Why should anyone mind it?

cheers guys!
I acually didn't think about it... I can add some skulls and try to enlarge tusks and claws - maybe what will work

It's in the details. Give him some more armourplating with plasticard, add skulls, a couple of wicked spines/blades and some chains. I think you should make some real adjustments to the head, so you might want to swap the horns for blades like on the original model and turn it aroud a bit?

The slayer is easy to convert btw. If you take a saw to it's legs you can get all kind of poses out of him, if you remodel the arms it should be no real probleml to give him a menacing pose.

With only some cutting and repositioning to one leg I got this:

So I guess if you put some extra effort in it you might end up with a very cool nightmare

woo-hoo! TMZ posting!!!
thanks mate!
I wanted to use plasticard or milliput to expand slayer's claws and replace horns, I'm still wondering about shoulders' final shape:
when I start cutting there won't be turning back...

the old and powerful word 'warmachine' summoned the demon, whose name include T and M and Z... sorry, I'm afraid to say his whole name, he might come bacl and punish me
hey T., glad to see you and your valid comments

wooow, he's back.

take cover everybody! the ------lord is baaaaack...
