    Sorry, but our cold one mounts are just... not too attractive in my opinion... Has anyone tried converting our saurus to ride on the cold ones from the dark elves?

    The guy in this thread made some, they are near the bottom of his first post and mentioned further on down the thread:

    The consensus seems to be that saurus are a bit too wide normally (elves are skinny!) so you need to do a bit of converting and greenstuff work but it isn't too bad if you want to go to the trouble.

    Dang, i even saw all that conversion stuff a day or two ago and i didnt even notice that he did that :jawdrop: Hmmm i guess it would be a good way for me to get some practice with green stuff before i convert my heroes.. Ty stew

    Nice job narotar! I hadnt thought of that.. It seems fairly easier that was (as i am not a very good painter/converter) and looks like the only thing will be using a tad bit of green stuff to make the scales look a little more uniform between the two body types.. Be sure to keep those pics up so i can use them as reference in a few days ;)

    edit: and i might even lob off the tails and switch those.. I'll have to make the attempt both ways with spare pieces to see which way works best for me

    unfortunately I don't have any time at the moment to work on these minis because of my work. I hope that I will find some time to finish them some day ;)
