With Privateer Press' new conversion policy, I figured it would be a good time to get another conversion and swap thread going. MWHistorian's thread from last year really got me inspired, so lets see what you guys have been working on this last year so far!

I will start off with a real simple one, I swapped Karchev's legs/waist, the Devastator arm pistons and trimmed the groin armor on my metal Spriggan. Sorry for the blurry pictures, all I have is my phone. I got this guy in a trade, stripped the paint off and after buying some bits for this and the Vanguards that I am Khadorizing for my pZerkova theme force, this is what l came up with.

My Avatar has a simple conversion. Swapping his potty dance legs with legs from a plastic Crusader.

He's also had his shoulders made wider through use of pins and a little putty. Plus he's had a sword extension. This was a commission.

Thanks Chute82! I can wait to start painting him. It is nice that he now stands as tall as Beast-09.

And I love that Avatar the stock model just doesn't do it for me.

'sorry about pics, all I have is my phone' is no excuse. It's 2015, people. Your phone IS a camera.

There is a word for a wargamer with an empty paint bench.

Dead.

She's not finished yet, as she needs new shoulder pads and a new left hand, but here is a phone picture of a stripped version of my converted Harbinger that I took to send my friend a few weeks back.

Also, slightly behind her you can see my converted Hotrod of Menoth. Though I don't have a direct picture of it on my phone at the moment.

Yes, snarky comment aside, my phone is in fact a camera. But as a gunsmith most electronic devices get ruined due to dirt, metal particles, and wood shavings. So please, if you are just going to make unnecessary comments, there are other threads for you to post in.

Glad I'm not the only one... I'm an optical lab technician and with the amount of plastic/glass dust my phone sucks in it's a wonder I can even see the screen!

But on topic... conversion looks pretty solid. I love threads like this so if I ever get my DJ conversion finished i'll stick up a pic.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Need more 's in my life!

Hah, Emperors_Champion, yea I can imagine that ruining electronics quite quickly.

I just can'twait for the last of the bits to show up for my Vanguards! I ordered two more Spriggan shields for them, old pewter Juggernaut axe heads to swap the blades with. And, the old Juggernaut head fits the model perfectly. Should be a really cool looking army.

Not to mention there is a VERY large difference in quality between your phones camera and an actual camera. I'll edit this post with my imperatus conversion (it's pretty basic) once I go on break.

I also have a molik karn into tiberion conversion but it's not painted and likely won't be for a while. I'm not a huge Tiberion fan so it's low on my list of priorities.

Trade rules: lower rep trades ships 1st. - I ship within 2 business days, if it will be longer I will contact you & explain. - I will NOT lie on customs forms, it's a felony, do not ask me to mark sales as "gifts". Free shipping applies to contiguous US states.

I can't wait to see those conversions! I have a feeling that not a lot of painting is going to be getting done on my stuff anytime soon. I restarted Khador for the third time, and now own 180+ points, my mission is to do it all in stages. Finish assembling and converting everything, base it all and than start painting. I have finished assembling all the easy stuff, now time to do the converting, pin all of the Uhlans, replace the Pikemen's weapons with brass rod...

Love the Nomariner (Marimad?)! I saw someone do something like it with a Freebooter a few years back and always wanted to do one up but never did.

There are few things I love more in this game than the Mariner and Freebooter warjacks. That looks like a heck of a lot of fun to put on the table though.

That seems like one of the most common conversions, because oh god are those laughable. Same with replacing the spatula of doom he has with him.

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard.

Trust me, its no laughing matter during assembly. getting the potty dance pose is itself a minor miracle.

So yeah, basically use the Crucader legs, they look better anyways. If I ever get one, might try using the sword from a Nomad, because I hate the death spatula.

Death Spatula might be the greatest description I've ever heard. Flippin' heathens into Urcaen.

No wargames these days, more DM/Painting.

I paint things occasionally. Some things you may even like!

I was really happy that it hit the tables for the first time today. It looks so much more dynamic than the original pewter kit, everybody loved it.
