I love the conversions here. I think I will have to get an unmade kit as well even though I don't ever intend to play warcry.

Thanks
as mentioned previously, it is a great kit. I’m not done with it yet either. More ideas to incorporate parts with the Cawdor kit. Watch this space!

Nice kitbashing and converting on these, really like the aesthetic you're going for - churchy and creepy.
. In the end a hybrid of the stock one and a gw one was needed. A bit of cutting and some dental tape later (and of course a candle!) and I feel much better about it being a heavy stubber and not a pea shooter. More to come. Also I’m considering replacing the rebreather for some chainmail. I think the rebreather is cool and everything but seems a little too hi tech to be given to a stig shambler. Thoughts?

Personally I'd be filling in the topmost eyehole, if only to remove the nurgle symbolism. Having just two uneven eye holes would also suggest the level of deformity beneath. Although you can easily lean in to the scavenging side and leave it as is - it's not like the gang will know the relevance of three circles arrayed like that.
Funny you say that as that is what I wanted to do. I also feel it would elude to facial disfigurement. I plan on adding some nuts and bolts to add to the homemade look.
These are awesome. I have 2 questions:
1. Where is the pirate's head from?
2. How did you make the wrappings on the stig-shambler gun?

Thanks, glad you like them.
The pirates head is from an aos exalted deathbringer
the hat from a sartosan pirate
The wrappings are dental tape
If you swap the las for a plasma pistol maybe having 2 makes sense. When it gets to hot you just drop it and draw the next one. Or holster it as it recharges depending on what version you play.So last night I had an awesome evening having a video chat with one of my oldest and dearest friends in our digital pub “the prince of ales”. We grew up together in England but he now lives in Estonia and I live in Australia and the digital pub is kind of our only option. We talked crap over a few beers and he was painting his ash wastes themed Cawdor gang as I assembled my sump sea pirate captain. I was really inspired to build this guy after reading through the yak meet 21 mini thread and I happened to have a group of bits that I thought would work rather well. He isn’t finished but I intend to get him done and at least primed today. I see a few issues with him now I have awoken from my beer induced slumber. I see I need to get rid of the second holster as he obviously has no means to use a second pistol and sadly the sword is also looking a bit awkward for a man with one hand. The crow needs to have some form of bionic to make him look like a sheen bird. What are people’s thoughts?
Swords are for waving about to look important or for emphasise when getting the crew all riled up. As much as for sticking people with.
Although with the hat, beard, crow, hook. Is it a detail to far that's making it look like a bit of an afterthought tacked on.tne back?
Thanks for the feedback @Scavvierising, I do agree the sword is somewhat out of place which is strange when you consider it is part of the original base kal Jericho mini. In regards to the las pistol I do like it a lot but I have also considered swapping to something more exotic. Will have a rummage through my bits box when I get home later today.
