What model do you think would work best to count as Eltharion?
Eltharion has a bow a great weapon ,heavy armour and helm.

I have been thinking of converting,

I think that would look awesome. Can't wait to see the result if you go that route.

These two are my favorite GW HE character models. I say you can't go wrong with either...

something else you could try is to make him out of plastic parts. i am painting one now, hope it gives you some ideas

its all made of spare hero kit parts except the head and sword arm which are from the chariot kit.

as for the models you have shown the one in armour would be the easiet to convert.
hope this helps somewhat

Is the torso s little out of scale of the legs or is that the angle of the photo(the cheast plate looks kinda big or long)?

the body and all is in scale, i just suck at taking photos. i was standing over the model so explains it lol. and thanks i quite like how he's turning out, he will look even better when finished. and the photo of when he's finished will be better angled lol so he looks normal.

Of course, there is still the possibility to take the upper part of the original Eltharion the Grim mini and put it on some plastic lower part. Since you do not need to trim or cut something with this "conversion", it should be quite easy to do.

Yea but with all due respect,I want it to look good.No but seriously :wink: ;I have the old model but I am not an advocate of any GW plastic HE models,some are ok but the metal ones have much more timelessness.

There are some models I like But I have ranted about this befor, thay are geting better.

And Kelorion your avatar pic is one of the best I have seen!
