lets look at the Converted Oldblood next! I called it Starblood because of the bibrant colors:
for the conversion I used the remaining tail bits from the troglodon box and a spare oldblood parts from the same kit to make the Starblood. the only piece I didn't use from this kit was an orc arm.this is great because it allows you to make two oldbloods and the troglodon out of the kit. magnetizing the hand to be able to change weapons

I also did a light OSL at the guantlet to make it look ready to fire
