Post subject: Zy-Nox... updated for the modern game.
This is my wife's newest conversion, she actually entered him at this years Games Day/Golden Daemon, and although her other figure (a female Trollslayer she sculpted herself) made the finalist's case, Zy-Nox felt a little outgunned in the Monster category and didn't earn a green sticker.
We like him though, and I thought peeps here on the NAF would like a look.
Hope you like him.
Here's a pic of him next to the model she based the conversion on...
And here's some more of our figs just to let you see how BIG he really is.. 
What's really nice from my point of view is I love the Chaos All Stars, ad she's decieded to enter the entire team, fully converted for next years' Daemon. Even planning to sculpt Morg so he's taller than this Zy-Nox figure.. how cool is that.

Good sculpting and painting. Dynamic looking pose. Does your wife play and if so will she be bringing the team to any tournaments? Was this a scratch built miniature or did she modify an existing figure?

Check the 5th picture down. I think it's a conversion of Zy-Nox, 2e Mino #1 based on the subject

That's a nice figure. Must take up a lot of room if knocked down though 
Have you got any pics of the Trollslayer, i'd love to see it if it's a good as this.

Yep, she plays alright, a couple of my teams are still smarting from beatings at the hands of her Iron Rock Sharks Orc team. She is also working on the Salazmund Stoats Human Team to be her 2nd at the moment.
Due to small boy, we aren't able to attend tournies at the mo, but it's something we'd like to consider for the future.
Melifaxis answered the other part of the question, which was cool of him.
Oh and someone asked for a piccy of her Trollslayer.. so although it's compleatly off topic.. here she is.
She's standing on a pile of warpstone and a decapitated head of a Rat Ogre.. everything apart from the weapons, two braids and the belt buckle was sculpted by my wife. Not bad for her first attempt at sculpting a figure.

When you said Trollslayer it didn't even cross my mind that it wouldn't be BB 
It's a very nice fig though.

That cowbeastie is ACE! Da udder bomb! BOOOOMM!
If there's ever a complete version of the All Star team done in this fashion, those limited edition extra special Chaos guys and the original Lewis version can get their collective coats.

Thanks again for the comments guys... 
Will be posting some ideas pics for some of the team soon (Morg - who I'm having huge difficulties deciding on a pose for and the Duke... maybe Dan too), bit slow on doing the All Stars atm as I'm expecting a kid and am very tired much of the time . *grumble, pout* Hardly any major converting going on at my house atm... one figure at a time speed, (currently the NAF team figs) ...half finished 40K broodlord, techpriest and BB human team (never have the idea to file off all the lion symbls and replace them with stoats!) plus my beloved BB werewolf all still sitting on the side.

Does that mean my lizzies don't look like this and that they'll never get finished?
