That's a pretty awesome scratch build there scyfi... Love the squig on top of the wheel... nice touch & gives a wonderful focal point on that big area.


i guess its not so much a "conversion" huh?

well I mean, I converted those squigs, am-i-right?

They still need pirate hats and eye patches but its almost there. hehe my favorite is the little guy under the wheel, one of the old 40k squigs with bug eyes and a smile

your rhino and landspeeder are mighty pretty.

I did this over a year ago and sadly it has still not been painted. The idea came from someone else's conversion and I can't remember who's it was.
I converted this model for a 40K style Zombicide style game I was working on, I then discovered Zombicide which is amazing and kinda lead me to shelve this project.

That's a fantastic conversion Reeno. You should paint it... a model like that deserves to be completed.

I love this. Really quite subtle changes but really well done. Looks great, post again when painted.

Reeno, I'd make him a special character for Zombicide, either a survivor or LARPer Fatty would work for me. In fact, I quite like the idea of a WH40K LARP group, so now you just need a couple of walkers and a couple of runners to round out the group.

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men.
Welcome to Fantasy 40k

If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.

Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

It's a nice enough conversion, but the colour scheme just screams out "Haz-Mat suit after a resonance cascade" to me, sorry.

I feel like I finally have a conversion worth posting so here's the WiP photos so far. It's a mark 2 forgeworld armor I was given but since I dot like the mark 2 I turned it into a mark 3 iron armor, except for the shin guards because my guy wants to be fast not super heavily armored ;p

Completely in awe of your skill as I can't sculpt to save my life, but have to say, I'm not a fan of the "Charleston" pose on her. Taking each bit singly, I can't find fault - but together in that pose it seems less "I'm gonna cut your head off", more "I'm gonna make you dance until you get blisters".

I'm not 100% fine with the pose myself. Poses are still not my stroing point. Also the basic model was a resque mission of a model i started a year or so ago. It would have been better in the long run if i just scraped it and started with a new pose but i'm the kind of guy who hates wasting stuff. At least i learned something in the process.

Not where I should be

Looks fantastic, I am not sure on pose. Kinda somewhere between Charleston, and girlie running. I don't know why but anytime I try a larger model like this it always ends up looking knock knee'd not made one yet that was bowlegged.

The model is still brilliant, and am completely jealous of your skills. Awesome.
