Very nice indeed.

You make it look so easy Dave, anybody would think you were a professional.

I'm very possibly tempted to try these out for my To9G army.

Marvellous conversions-I admire those who can see the possibilities lurking in a standard mini! I have to admit that I prefer Saruman - it is so dramatic, dynamic, and arrogant. No doubt he would be making some acerbic remark as he casts another thunderbolt!

Fantastic conversions! I love the dynamic poses in both of them!
Very well done Dave, and thanks a lot for sharing!

Very cool conversions! That article of yours is very inspiring - it never came to my mind making a mounted Saruman or Grima. 8)

It is a shame my level of painting is not so 'professional' :roll:

These two minis are great fun to game with. Infinitely more useful than the foot versions.

My Isengard army is amassing nicely now. Batch painting 120 urukhai is taking a while though. I suppose I should put them in the WIP thread to try and motivate myself. :?

Dave, your work never ceases to amaze me!!
Excellent job all around on these models...Grima is my favorite, but only because I have always disliked that GW sculpt of Saurman. 10/10 for an easy step-by-step article and for the great imagination involved to produce some fantastic conversions!! :)

Brilliant model Dave, really nicely converted and the guide is great, might even try it out myself sometime, only problem is finding the time to do so. Either way, fantastic work! :yay:

Wow! great work, buddy.
You have really put in a good amount of effort, and that is to be praised.
this excellent article has inspired me to convert a mounted radagast the brown.

Being no expert through experience myself, I gladly follow the judgements of the people above. Like Dorthonion said: you have to see the possibilities - and that’s only the beginning. An umpteenth proof of your ability, Dave! (and that includes your paintwork 8) ).

Oh, to have a quarter of your talent Dave. Great work, with truly inspiring conversions that would never have occurred to me!

Great article mate.
