Here's my best conversion so far as it is my first completed.


Nice, I like the use of the Dark Elf shield symbol, it really works on the dread. The doom siren mouth thingies around the chainfist and autocannon are a nice touch too.

I'm still working on her, but this one happens to be the favorite of my vehicles. If you're flying a ship, it's entirely likely that you'll find yourself pressed into imperial service with the guard. This particular crew found themselves having their ship designated a "Modified Valkyrie".... I still have a lot of weathering to do on her to dusk her up right; but here she is.

Thanks everyone for your coments on my dread.

@Reanimator, drilling those heads out is a pain, but it's well worth the effort. Congratz on winning the Dec comp great painting, I've got some tau stealth suits to paint I might try to get 1 done for the next comp.

that looks more like a tau flyer. (I know it's made out of tau bits) But it is some nice conversion work. A wash would look really good on that.

@kern
I'm not sure if i've missed a link, not knowing a great deal of tau fluff, but the kroot machine seems a tad "orky" to me. Having said that, the humour in the model is great, especially the eyes on stalks effect.

@ Ranger1977
I'm a big fan of dymanic posing, but being unfamiliar with the original model I'm not sure exactly how much conversion has gone into your chapter master piece. Whether its mostly you or mostly the original sculpt, its still come off really well. More please!

Oh I LOVE the batman Gretchin
I really look forward to see that one completed.

Well I wasn't lazy either and completed another model that I (currently) find my best conversion model...
It's a 95% scratchbuild and is depicting the last desperate moments of an Imperial defense against an Ork attack.
In this mini you see the Ork Spida walking machine "Evil Eyez" of the Stachelnschweinz Clan on Dencara.
It is manned by a Gretchin crew and attempts to dish out the final blow to the Emperors defenders...
...but somehow it is...unplugged

I hope you like it

The first conversion i have done in a long while. Master Uriel is my deathwing commander belial counts as. Made from lufgt hurons arms with the flamer cut off and commander culln's storm bolter hand added, some wolfguard legs, a normal termi torso, the fw marine upgrade head and a bit of gs work removing icons and re sculpting other bits. Id love some feedback on it. More pics in my gallery or plog in my sig.

Thanks a lot, you guys; especially for the dakka high five. I'll gladly accept it. ^^


To be honest, I couldn't resist showing this guy off here, too. I've been so damn proud, and all the more since this was my first miniature rated better than 7.5 on CMON.

@ shrike: I didn't use him yet, but I think I'll be playing him as either Chapter Master or generic Captain.
What would you suggest?

I particularly like the "servo-harness" of medical tools, especially the knife, looks like it's use-able in CC, too.
Oh and I reccommend using him as either a captian or sicarius. He's an ultra, and they already have calgar as chapter master. Siicarius has a power weapon and plasma pistol, and the rules suit the model most IMO. Use the same rules, but instead of a 15pt plasma pistol, have a 15pt storm shield!

Hi All, Here are some Death Guard Terminators that I have been working on. (work in prog).
Heaps of crazy stuff going on here with spikes busting through decayed / shot-up armor and the odd mutation here and there.
So far I have 5 of these guys that I have made using Chaos Terminator torsos and normal Space Marine Terminator legs / arms.

Painting is only in the very early stages.



These are the crazy looking heads that will go on the 5 x Terminators.

Post by: Lord of Death Mountain


Thanks Vandehey, I have positioned them in very hunched over type poses and majority of the weapons are pointing down. That combined with the detailed base work will hopefully give them the Death Guard / Nurgle type of look that I am aiming for. (The eventual squad of 10 x Death Guard Terminators should look fairly menacing).

These two are probably my favourite models...The master of the Recruits with 2 Bolt pistols was more difficult to Pin and GS together. I like the way his Sword is just ready when one of pistols runs dry he will grab the Chainsword.



The other is my chapter master, which is a basic GS Conversion of another miniature with a SW head. Its not finished but I love the Hard as nails pose with a giant Relic Blade.



I like them both equally, But I am working on some Pre-Heresy Statues at the moment and I think they will Trump this. Garviel Loken on a Ferocrete Column anyone?

sorry but i have to say fail on that conversion. nice work with the greenstuff though the fur looks good. but fail because the chestplate shows the Dark Angel logo. Dark Angels dont like the Space Puppies so its kinda ironic. But im sure that would have been kinda hard to cover with GS.

I never liked the idea of standard military force for IG, so I opted to make mine more of a prison themed set up. Thus the shotguns and riot shield. It's not much compared to some of the awesomeness found in this thread, but it's impressive enough to the local players at the local GW.

Also, 10 man squads with nothing but shotguns just sounds so much cooler than wimpy flashlights.

Also (x2) my (poor) attempt at cobblestone bases.

I made these Scourges out of the following kits:

Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors- Used the upper torso, arms and head.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod900151a


Dark Eldar Wyches- Used the running legs

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440233a&prodId=prod900152a


Tyranid Gargoyle Brood- the wings

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440299a&prodId=prod350002a


Assembly was fairly straight forward. I did have to file the wing stubs to get them to fit to the backpacks and look natural.

I am using "Anime" blue scheme for my army. I left the Scourges a little darker then the rest of my army will be. It seemed to me they would need the cover in the skies of Commorragh.

I generally do not paint any model that is not a conversion (Yeah I'm a glutton for punishment and really slow at building stuff), But this one had to have been one of my favorites. I may redo this idea again with a little help from Kathie von Vhoorl's painting. I will take a little extra time to make the new one a little neater.

This is assuming there are other Tyranids in the area so the Hive Mind can communicate their location to Blindifex.

At least put some shades on him.

Possibly my biggest (at least most fiddly) project yet.

But using the Battlewagon Upgrade pack and a squad of Grots I made it into a drive-by shooting machine.





Complete with swearing Grot.









Not entirely polished, but I think I'm happy with this.


Anyone want any other shots/angles let me know.

Hell yeah. I like to use as much as possible. Bollocks to just using one, otherwise it'd be left in a box/bag with all the other random bitz which won't get used.

Now for my next trick I was planning on doing a weird battle between 3 monsters/daemons/whatever coloured like the first generation starter Pokémon, for random fun. Anyone got any ideas for what I could use for a Venusaur? For Charizard and Blastoise I think I can effectively modify two daemon princes. But the third... Not sure how to get the flower on its back. Any suggestions?

If you're thinking what I'm thinking, wouldn't that be a little impractical? How can the rolla get to work crushing stuff up if there's a massive jaw blocking it?

...I think I got the gist of that. If I'm right, hopefully this helps more than my (admittedly) brief earlier post. If not, then feel free to disregard it.


As far as I know (not much into Chaos, you see) the Rose of Slaanesh is basically a Greater Pleasure Daemon, one of the higher ups in the Slaaneshi heirarchy. She's something of a, well, a flower whore. I'm actually not even sure if she's an actual GW character. But the flower theme would fit with her in any case. Think vines, thornes, and razor-edged rose petals.


For actually sculpting the rose, start with dozens of petals of greenstuff, thin, small. Curl one up almost into a tube, then just continue layering them around it, overlapping each and making sure not to squish them together too much.

Thank you for the compliment, but I have to come clean here. That's not a FW model, I just used the FW model for reference (I really liked the pose). The bike base is actually a Deffkopter, The front wheel is a bunch of green stuff and some leman russ tracks, back treads are more of the same and some tau pieces. The power claw is a big choppa at the end of the rotor mount for the deffkopta tied to his arm. The head (I think) is from fantasy orcs, the engine in the back is a broken clock motor I found. I think the front forks on the bike are from some huge tau gun. The rest is styrene sheet, a small mountain of green stuff, and a lot of time.

I wish I could take credit for those stones. I don't own any FW as of yet (can't justify it to myself at this point), but when I do, I promise to mangle it.

Here is a WIP shot from early in the process (From here it was probably another 3 months of gluing more stuff to it and finally painting it).

Now that's what I call awesome! Real orky method right there, especially with the deffkopta use. Just slapping a lot of random pieces together and making cool biker joe. Cool conversion, in that case

This is my 2nd favorite. I like how it looks like he's running. And this was taken before I cut the Imperial eagle off his helmet.

The Tau Cadre's design is based off of Zero from Mega Man X. The fire team leader's sword is a beam saber like Zero's Z Saber.

nice work! My only nitpick is that dreads don't have TL AC's- the arm doesn't look meaty (or is it metaly) enough to hold such a weapon.

I've no idea if these are going to show up or not (first image post), but hopefully I can show you guys my XVAngels:













This is impressive... Don't want to get those on the opposite table edge
Please take a better picture of them though as it's hard to see details with the black and blue colors

@Shrike
I based it off of some of the HH CCG art work, the arms depicted there are pretty scrawny. Here's a wip pic, you can't see it in either pic, but I "wired" up both arms to "beef" them up.



I'm aware of the fallacy of having twin linked auto-cannons, this too is based on someones design sketches. I figured since I used two smaller ones from a landspeeder it wouldn't really matter.

Soon, (ie: today) I'm going to be making a random guy based of of Hoss Delgado.

He will be having a chainsaw for a hand, and guns strapped to him.

Should I make him on a sm, or chop up an IG and use him instead?

I did a nice conversion on mij Ogre army for the Bruiser, painted and unpainted pics:







Yes he has Death Metal corpsepaint, its the army's theme. Also the reason for his long hair
These are old pics by the way, these days he is holding the dead goat from the giant sprue in his left hand.

And the Groinbiter (champion) of my Gnoblars with his own gutplate with horns:

And so you should be. That a nice conversion.

The pre-heresy dread froma bit further up is also pretty neat, but I thought that assault cannon were post heresy weapons, hence why Chaos termies don't get 'em... Nice model though.

Thanks! That's made my night

I wish I could say I made the turret myself but unfortunately I didn't, it was from this company http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/25turrets.htm
Barrel is a metal replacement for some 1/35 scale tank or other, I forget exactly which one.

Try spending 10 hours and not even be half finishedXD But I like big projects, so even though it takes alot of time I enjoy it.

I like how you use the warriors of chaos in 40k conversions
