So now that I have the box set, I'm currently in the 'putting together and conversion' stage of the project.
(I'd like to note that mine did not come with Upgrades for Ulix, so at this point I am looking around to see what is the best way to get physical upgrade cards for the packs).
As such, I've put together some ideas on how I want them to look. This obviously involves converting/painting them to resemble more of the MLP look and thus, make it more appealing to my sisters to play. So far, this is the current plan:
Rocinante Benoit (counts as Ulix)
Will update her cosplay to include a horn and wings (copies I can make from the set). I may also have an open book from my Warhammer bits, but if not then I'll just convert my own, with the pages perhaps showing a story which has inspired her look.
The Night Mare (counts as Old Major)
The 'Applejack' one, I have taken the hat from the dead body and placed it on her head. I have a Warhammer wooden bucket which I will add green stuff apples along with more apples on the base. Looking into what else could be done.
Little Sebastian (counts as Penelope)
The 'Pinkie Pie' one, I will greenstuff a cake to sit on top off along with adding some sliding icing and a candle on top of the hat.
Gift Horses (count as Wild Boars)
The 'Rainbow Dash' one will have the straps filed back to make wings look more natural (with green stuff to blend them in) and her base will be another 2-part epoxy resin water one, but this time will have the surface altered to add speed waves to show her trying to change direction (with the model legs leaning to be more inline with the surface.
The 'Fluttershy' one will have wings added to her, with the base more filled with flowers to add colour. I have an old metal Jackalope model on order (quite cheap I got it too, given they're out of production for a while), which I will probably remove the antlers and make a more Malifaux style Angle the bunny.
Finally, the 'Rarity' one will most likely just have gems on the ground. I may add some jewelry for effect, but am still not sure on this. If I could, I might see about finding a tiny dragon or sculpting a dragon teddy just as some form of representation of Spike (who would have more room being on this base then on Benoits base).
There is still much to do and more planing to be done, so hopefully my next update on this will actually contain some photos of progress.
