The owl almost blends in with the surroundings, seeming very natural in his surroundings, despite his higher calling by the Ordos.<br />Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-56997030544901456212016-05-05T21:19:49.405-07:002016-05-05T21:19:49.405-07:00Yeah, I am really happy we eventually decided to k...Yeah, I am really happy we eventually decided to keep Bronwen by himself. Such a small creature, with the ability to fly should offer unique opportunities for us in terms of gameplay! <br />Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-18525807486760184162016-05-05T05:58:57.373-07:002016-05-05T05:58:57.373-07:00Awesome.

I love the contrast between the whole being a relatively large (but spindly) model, but the actual character focus being such a small detail of it. It's really quite ingenious.

As the others already have pointed out it achieves the balance of being both terrain and a character. It really does offer a lot of fun options because I'd imagine in-game you'd quickly dismiss the owl due to other more obvious threats.<br /><br />Brilliant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705381808337789656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-60594112500824037402016-05-04T19:01:46.156-07:002016-05-04T19:01:46.156-07:00I am glad you like Bronwen as much as I do!

I experimented with attaching him to other character models, but it always seemed off, and somewhat cluttered. By basing him by himself, this issue was solved, and it allowed the focus to be placed back on the mechanized owl. :)Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-52330024571564978242016-05-04T19:00:38.108-07:002016-05-04T19:00:38.108-07:00Thank you!

When the idea struck me to augment the owl, I was uncertain of how best to achieve the conversion, and even less sure of what to do with the base. Spending a little time looking through bits allowed me to find the post from the frame of the Corpse Cart, however, and things started to fall into place. I am pretty happy with how he turned out, particularly because of how different it is from other 40k models, yet still has a place within the dark universe. Looking back, I think basing the owl by itself, rather than with another model, was important for achieving the strong narrative/vignette. <br /><br />Oh, and owl-based conversions are still possible in your future! If anyone could do something unique and captivating, I would bet my money on you. Don’t force it though; something will come to you when the time is right.Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-77482973471456230832016-05-04T16:59:33.527-07:002016-05-04T16:59:33.527-07:00Absolutely stunning!

The combination of the brilliantly augmeticised owl and the stylish base really makes for a striking playing piece. And the paintjob seals the deal. I've had that same owl bit in my bitzbox for ages, saving it for something special. Now I can basically throw it away, I fear, as this model has set the bar incredibly high when it comes to owl-based conversions.<br /><br />A triumph! :)KrautScientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992997405409517857noreply@blogger.com
