Skryre Skaven Warlord

He only needs a few touch ups to some green stuff parts, but this little ripper is finally finished (as far as converting goes anyway).
I had originally intended for him to be on a warlitter, but this Bonebreaker option was one that had constantly plagued me.
The weapon is one that I have been wanting to make since they released the 8th Edition warhammer book as it's artwork clearly shows a Skaven made chainsword. That's right, Skaven weaponry is almost on-par with 40k weapons (with the exception that it has about 50/50 chance to blow it's wielder up). The pole is a Stormvermin weapon with it's blade replaced by a chaos chainsword. I did attempt to copy the spike design, but unfortunately it proved to irritating at the time.
A variety of parts were used for this conversion, the most obvious being the body of a Khorne Juggernaut and the head, tail and feet of the Necromunda 'The Caller' rat beast. Being of Clan Ektrik, there are some electrical prods n outlets (along with lightning features) on him for a real shock. Liquid warp-fuel injectors add that mad science touch to it.
Overall, I'm happy with the way this conversion turned out. Can't wait to start painting this guy.
