Known as cockatrice or basilisk depending on the origins, this one was sculpted by Aly Morrison for Citadel.
The model I had was damaged, chopped in places and missing a foot so I did a bit of conversion work to fix the deficiencies.
Being made of soft old lead the design is very ambitious that it will stay together so I have mounted it on a wire frame disguised in the perch.
I painted it generically snake-reptilian-chicken so it’s clear what the model is supposed to represent on the tabletop. I chose very bright cheerfully lurid colours to better see it on the tabletop where it will be part of my growing Beasts of Chaos army.

Great stuff – i always had a soft spot for the old cockatrice models and you have made this one look very nice indeed!
Thank you. It certainly has it’s charms and will deliver many laughs on the tabletop :).
