This page will show you how to build a Pitch Black alien Kroothound.

Q. What is a Pitch Black Kroothound?

A. Well, have you seen the film Pitch Black? If not, this really won't make much sense so watch the film first!

Right the idea for this stems from watching the film and thinking that the kroothounds would make a cool base for converting into Pitch Black Aliens!

Ingredients.

  • Kroothounds.
  • Old-style harpy wings.
  • Assorted spiky bits (Lizardmen picks from the weapon arms and Dark Eldar spikes are good).
  • Bendable wire.
  • Milliput/Green stuff.
  • Bendy metal sheet (empty tomato puree tubes are good for this).
  • Really fine piece of straight wire for the pins.

As well the following:

  • A hobby drill.
  • A very fine drill bit.
  • A sanding wheel.
  • Superglue.

Next: Sculpting the miniature.
