    Hi All,

    Been lurking for a few months now and thought I would actually join the community - Greetings from the north of England!

    I have been collecting a Seraphon army (and getting into painting) since may this year - current points count is somewhere in the region of 1.5k and a bit random!

    I already have one starpriest which I use on the table but have just been gifted another. I am wanting to try my hand at modding/kitbashing/converting it to make it look different as I would really like to keep the same colour scheme to match my skinks in my army.

    Looking for inspiration, what have yall got?

    This is my current starpriest:

    North of England, which bit?

    Cheers for the advice - please be kind, I have only been painting for a couple of months :)

    I live in Gatesahead (originally from Teesside) - I am actually looking for places to play AoS if you know of anywhere?

    Not bad at all, that one definitely looks a lot better than my early stuff.
    ....and better than some of my not so early stuff actually.

    I have seen Starpriest conversions that had the model point his arm with the staff forward, (in fact that was on this forum, and pretty recently, but I can't find it right now), so that might be an option, and would make him look pretty different without having to change a lot.

    Then you could also give the second one a different base, such as a natural stone he would be standing on, instead of the stairs he comes with.

    I know there are evenings at my local GW store but curious to see if there are any other groups in/around the region as my local GW is only little! - I digress, show me your cool starpriests :)

    My cache automatically cleans when I close my browser.
    They were originally working, I linked them from my painting blog.

    ....huh. Working now. nevermind.

    Found this on google, also a nice idea for doing something nice without converting a lot.

    Nothing in Gateshead.

    Durham has a couple from what i hear.

    Newcastle has a few, best for AoS would be Newcastle Warlords in Fawdon, but theres others in North Shields and Blyth too.
