Not really my best but you get the picture. This Chief Librarian Talnar who in my opinion I have only ever written 1 sentence about.

It is time I gave him some attention this guy is one badass as he is my first character I ever freaking made! Not only that but he was my first creative model.

Then one of my standard bearers Who rocks in combat! And the flag was broken when i bought it from a friend so I rebuilt parts of this marine.


Then these badasses.
I love me some chainsaw-bolters. As they look awesome and they work!

He was made entirely from the bits box, legs of on old empire pistolier, the arms from the older empire regiment box, a bit of milliput for hair and other bits. The back of the horse has all sorts of equipment on it like rope, a pistol, cloth sacks and a skaven skull. I don't know about my "best" conversion, but he was a lot of fun and the most recent.

My Deathstrike was more of a true 'conversion' than a bits box job.

Here are some pictures of WIP on 3 types of scratchbuilt mutants. I wanted some big mutants to use with my Psychic Mutant Troopers and so I cut up some plastic models I had, added heads and other body parts. Hope you like, they will look better when painted, they look bitty at the moment because of all the different coloured pieces.

I think I recognize a few Star Wars bitz here and there. Looks really awesome.

Love the dwarfs. They have a Doctor Who-ish sort of vibe.

Love the Death guard..it is really good....

As for the mutants a few of those look like Chucky from child's play.

I think the tires look fine...Does that count as Wazdakka or just a Warboss on bike?

It's my wazdakka, he's twice the size of a normal ork biker though, I didn't have any at the time when I made him, so he's around the size of an ork trukk
