Magos Mestobargos and the Corpsefeeder

A devotee of the Arch-Heretek Belisarius Cawl, Magos Mestobargos is fascinated with the union between flesh and steel, particularly in the ways that discarded and mutilated components may be welded into new and horrific creations. One of his greatest triumphs is the Corpsefeeder, a monstrous daemonic war machine which stalks the battlefield collecting the remnants of enemy soldiers and ruined machines, to be later reborn into a horrific second life...

This conversion came about more or less because I had buckets of bits left over from other conversions. The central trunk was a tattered old Forgefiend which had leant bits to the Headsman and the Spiderfiler among other bits. The Maggoth kit comes with a couple of sets of arms, and that was where the legs came from. They had to be cut and pinned into place. 

The tentacles (which I imagine it uses to forage for bodies and components) are spares from a Dark Eldar Talos (which reminds me that I need to photograph my Dark Eldar sometime). The horns jutting out of its head (?) are spares from a Great Unclean One. 

The tail was the swan-off leftover from the Blight Hauler I used to build the head of the Hanging Tree. I tidied it up a bit and pinned it in place, then built up the flesh around it with PVA/Kitchen towel mix and then green stuff. 

Mestobargos himself and his weird throne wossname is based on half of a Vampire Counts Mortis Engine which I got second hand. I'd already used a good portion of it for throne of Lord Eiterfex, but a bit of side by side comparison showed that it would sit nicely on the Corpsefeeder's back. The throne back with the evil webbing is a leftover bit from the Ararchnarok which the previously mentioned Spiderfiler is based on. For the magos himself, I used Belisarius Cawl's axe (if you look at the link at the top you'll see that I replaced Cawl's with a Lord of Contagion's axe). The head is the alternate head from the Magos Dominus I used to Build Magos Langyll. His extra arms are cabling from the tatty Forgefiend and the hands are spare zombie and ghoul hands, which I seem to always have more of. 

That's basically the recipe, along with a bucketload of filling and pins! Not sure what I'll use him for in games. I might use him as a Plague Hulk, or write some custom rules for him (I play with narrative gamers). I should find reasons to pair him up with his conceptual brother the Blightstalker, who was my first version of this idea.

... what's less clear is how I'm going to store him!
