I finally got around to painting my Tower of Skulls conversion this past October. Here are some pics of the finished model and some background material:

When the Pit of Horrors is sighted at battles around the galaxy it is a sure sign that the level of carnage will be on an almost unimaginable scale. The pit of blood on the top of the tower churns and roils with the blood of untold victims, tossing their skulls up and down in a never ending display of gruesome horrors. The amount of skulls visible on the surface at any given time is a mere fraction of the seemingly infinite number believed to be submerged within. Woe be to any present at a battle where this daemon engine is sighted!
This Tower of Skulls conversion was built on a GW Baneblade chassis and comprises parts of myriad other GW kits as well as Kneadatite (Green Stuff), plastic card, and Woodland Scenics Water Effects. The tower is removable for ease of transport and storage and the guns all articulate in some fashion for the sake of adding a fun "toy factor" to the model. The main gun traverses and elevates as do the sponson guns, the guns on top of the sponsons pivot and the guns at the top of the tower traverse and the barrels rotate.
