**Mad Dave** :

Hi guys   
  
So i cant sleep&nbsp;&nbsp;and i found my self feeling like doing some painting so i thought why not make a start on a char for my chaos dwarfs i found my self staring at the figure in the photos minus the blue tack and bits its holding it.  
  
Thinking about what to paint it then i thought why not make it a pack of some sort.&nbsp;&nbsp;now Ive not got a clue what the original pack should look like and found myself rummaging threw my Nids bits and came up with this strange little conversion.&nbsp;&nbsp;im hoping that when its done it looks like the nids are coming out of the pipes. now the problem Ive got is should i leave it with or with out the shield. if i loose the shield do any of you guys have any ideas what to replace it with .
