 | oh yea definitely! just look at it!! now paint it differently of course and then add some khorne symbols all over and you got yourself one nasty critter! a big plus is that its plastic, while the bloodthirster is metal!! actually, if i were to ever get a thirster, it would be a converted baelrog. an axe in the other hand would also be cool....

   | Yeah...some minor converting and he's awesome...I love the sculpture of this particular piece and with some GS he would make a right proper Bloodthirster...

Blog Entries: 1 | As I've said before, the Balrog is the ONLY way to go for making a Bloodthirster. The FW one is way to big, and I hate the donkeyheaded GW one. Holy cow, I gotta get a Balrog to convert! I had put it on the back burner and completely forgot about it. Shave the flames off the back, find him a axe and whip, and bam! Awesome thirster.

| yea i don't see why he couldn't be ! :] plus, some killer paint work would probably distinguish it more. i'm thinking tattoos and other crazy stuff, but even simple chaotic designs stenciled onto the flesh would make it more 40k-ey :]

Blog Entries: 1 | I've expressed my opinion on this before... ...I think it'd be a great Blood Thirster! A few minor swaps and some filing and you got 'yer self an amazing 'Thirster!

| As for scale..yeah it's actually 25mm instead of 28 so it's not THAT much smaller...besides...if it looks like a GD then it is a GD as long as the size is close I don't see it mattering much...and he comes with a whip and a flaming sword so not much converting would be needed...and I think instead of filing or cutting off the flames, just a lil minor GS work and they could be a really gnarly looking bit of hair...  and as the kit is plastic...the possibilities for converting are pretty much only limited by ones imagination

| if you're confident with the green stuff, you can always add-on some bits of armour as the bloodthrister is typically clade in the brass armour of khorne like the lesser bloodletters & bloodcrushers! also, other details you might think of adding on would be; - brass collar of khorne (no effect in 40k, but it's a stapple gift of khorne anyways!) - cloven feet - lots of mangy hair - an icon of khorne cheers!

| ive seen some conversions of these boys, and as everyone always debates what to use instead of the donkey head, i seen one guy had used one of the Defiler sprue heads, which i thought looked really cool and gave it that more super human-y warrior look than raging cow  im gonna be trying mine with the defiler head

| Re: Would the Balrog be a good Greater Daemon? I'm sure the Balrog it a great basis for a Greater Daemon. I'ver certainly seen it used very well for a Daemon Prince - for which the guy had swapped the head for the current plastic Dark Elf Cold One's head (as well as hand changes and no flaming back IIRC).
