Order - Paint and Build (some more...)

As soon as the Hell Drake was released I (as a Nurgle Player) immediately wanted to make a "Plague Drake".  Finally... my back log of models has started to thin enough that I have gotten around to starting that project.

Concept Idea
Essentially I am looking to kit-bash these two kits.. and what ever I can find in my glorious bitz box.

I don't want to simply slap some zombie dragon parts on a Hell Drake and call it a day; I want to make the Hell Drake's armor look like it has corroded down to the skeleton below ...  

First thing I wanted to do was to upgrade the tail on the drake to something more substantial.  I replaced it with the tail from the Zombie Dragon and mounted the tail in the main exhaust port... a little green stuff and it fits in pretty well.

Next I started on the head.  As I mentioned I wanted to generate a corroded armor sort of feel.  I decided to build the normal Hell Drake Head and then cut away the armor and place in one of the skulls from the Zombie Dragon.  The Zombie Dragon skull is a little .... big ... but... I'm sure I can make it work. 

After I was able to align the skull I started re-building the armor plating I had to cut away.  It's very much a W.I.P. at the moment but... I think it will work in the end. 

Aaaaand, while waiting for green stuff to cure I started painting up

Let's see what I can accomplish today!
