These Are my two broadsides that I've been working on lately.

My commander (third from right).



and my troopas

He's not Chaos, he's just gone a little bit off the rails...





He's got trophies from every race I've played against (well, the ones my friends would trade or give me bits for. The 'Nid plates are Forge World Flying Tyrant painted in my brother's scheme, the Chaos spike rings from a friend's Chaos Undivided army and there's an Ork head hanging from his thruser housing and Ard Boy armour on his shoulder pauldrons.

I get bored...

My Daemonhunters...


Inquisitor in Terminator Armour


My first attempt at source lighting. I'll get better, promise...


My Fast Attack teleport-in Grey Knights. My justification 1) They have very baroque, ornate (and ancient) armour which has teleport homers built in and 2) I wanted to play with the Sang Guard models. I think they'll be much improved with some highlighting and freehand, this is just part one of the process...

Since these were shot, I've changed the weapons and they're now wreathed in lightning and I've addid Mithril Silver highlights to the armour and the gems are generally green jewels. Pics to come. Probably...

Will they be sponsored by Kleenex?

Kleenex: for when the immaterium spews daemons into realspace and only a strong tissue can stop them.

Wish i could see those pics at work. :(

Kleenex for when the Space Marines need something to clean up the splatter they leave around!

LOVE THE CRISIS BATTLE SUIT!

He is still a WIP but here is my best and my favorite sofar.







Here is the article that explains a little more about the model. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/346620.page

I like the sign...
and the way it actually looks like the seats are meant to fit in there...
my only nitpick is that some areas just look a tad too flat- maybe some rivets or ork glyphs would cover it up?

I probably would have slaped you if you said it was Chaos...No....no i wouldnt have...only joking ^_-
hahaha i play Renegade Tau with Farsight so thats different, but when people say that Tau wership a Chaos God it bothers me =/ but thats just me...

nice conversion though

The Beastman Marine is brilliant!

@Miraclefish: The Inqisitor looks really cool. Unusual colors, lots of bitz, shiny toys, I like it.

And I always thought the new Blood Angels would make good Grey Knights.

Haha thanks guys.

He doesn't worship Chaos, but he sees (and approves) of the way people fear their appearance and is using it.

Blood for the Greater Good! Wait, erm...

followed by the CASTE FOR THE ETHEREAL THRONE

Great ideas, giving me some better direction on converting my Ravens...Thanks!

Skulls for the Skull Cadillac!

Waagh!! fer da Waaagh!!

Not really my favorite but one of them. This is my next army and heavily inspired Dave Taylor's work and his recently sold army (I'm still crying that I missed that sale while I was in Afghanistan

2 pieces in this kit come from one set, 2 from anther and another 3 pieces come from another, other than that each piece is separate and bonus points if you can name all 10 of the kits.

Lets se

First Right eagel on his Shulder is from Magnus calgar.

Second Honuer guard chest from red scropion i recon?

Third Farseer head ?

Forth Commander Back back

Fifth Sangunary guard Shulder pad

Sixst Assault marine Clos combet Shield

Seven cloke from the Command Boks

8 is the hair from ummm ork?

9 Bolter is from the Command Squad Pak

i cant put where the Sword or legg's are from


fun to try and find out where everything is from

Hair's from an Ork, head looks like it's from Eldar. Assault shield, Termie bolter, Blood Ravens assault pack?

Don't know the various Marine chapters to differentiate the legs, torso and pauldrons. But I think that the arm with the pike is most likely Fantasy, and the end of the pike itself looks like an Eldar weapon. And the cloak is from the Dark Angels?

Again hair right, Right arm is from a fantasy kit, sorry folks I forgot there are 11 kits.

Head is from a HE Silver helm or Spearman. I'd say Silver helm. Shield and bolter magazine from the Dark angel upgrade sprue and the bolter itself is from a SM command squad box.

Igandris wrote:Head is from a HE Silver helm or Spearman. I'd say Silver helm. Shield and bolter magazine from the Dark angel upgrade sprue and the bolter itself is from a SM command squad box.

Ding that's two more, Still looking for a decent tall helm like that that already has the hair molded on.

If you need tall helms with tails I'd recommend the new plastic White Lions. You'll also get cool cloaks from them if you have the patience to clean them up so you can fit them on a SM.


So which ones did I get right?

Helm is from the silver helm sprue, bolter from the command squad box. Magazine is close enough with the DA sprue but I can't remember what terminator stormbolter I tore it off. Shield was already called off as assault squad sprue.

Thanks for the heads up on the helms, I like I like. Especially the first one has a one headed eagle looking forward just like the custodes helm art.

Legs? From the Grey Knights?

This is one of my favorites that I've done.




Just to show the shoulder pad



Everything on this model is from the chaos space marine sprue.

the funny thing is, If you cut the spikes off, he could pass as a loyalist chaplain.

loving that!
The conversion beamer looks like it was made out of a household object...can't think what though...

@shrike- there are no spikes on him...

I've gone a bit Guard crazy in the last couple of months and it's a bit of a toss up as to which of these two is my favorite.

Not necessarily a good conversion, but here are my psykers that I am quite fond of, but I still have seven more to do

Loving that one in the shackles!!! Will be good to see them painted!!!

Not if I paint 'em. Put simply, I suck at painting almost completely

I'm not a great painter myself, but still! they deserve a little bit!!!!

Yeah, my army does need to be painted, but I'll need to practice on those cheap practice guardsmen that GW sells

Painting is a key part!

Cheers, I've never been a real fan of brightly painted marines. Whilst I can appreciate the fluff around the bright red Blood Angels, blue Ultramarines and yellow Imperial Fists I thought something more subtle and 'realistic' was in order. All my marines are that dark olive green colour. Scout Snipers are posed amidst dense foliage for effect. I like them, they're different enough. I just can't think up a name OR chapter icon - hence the blank shoulder pad.

The photo of this model was taken before I added detail - mud and battle damage. I also filed down the spikes on the wheels a little.

shrike wrote: Any chance of a tut/explanation of how you did it?

I cheated with this one .. and it was much easier than it looks. I bought a little rally car toy for $2.

1. Remove wings and sensor from bottom of landspeeder.
2. Remove wheels (with axle) from toy car and glue to speeder.
3. Remove suspension from toy car, fit and glue to landspeeder - this took some mucking around.
4. Paint.

carabine wrote: I gotta concur. I enjoy this model on wheels alot more than in the air.

Agreed. The landspeeder was getting left in the box every game so thought I'd make it an attack bike/buggy. Is completely legal and looks good on the table. The only downside is that it's slightly bigger than the attack bike model. BUT .. at least it gets used now.

Sounds like you need to be fielding the Reasonable Marines, yet another 4chan/tg/ brewed chapter.

You my good fellow made me wet myself, this thing looks awesome. How did you make the turret ?
Now while I wait for a reply, I shall go change my pants

That turret is made by Old Crow Models, I have one I got with their excellent tac missile turret (for a Manticore). I didn't exactly know what to DO with it but now that I see it that does look an awful lot like Forgeworld's Artemia pattern Hellhound...

For non-tournament games it sometimes will be a Cmd Salamander. The Scanner and Orders do make it worth the risk from Open Topped.

Amusing. I thought Raptors were Chaos. I guess we learn something new every day. I'll think on this .. and do some more research on the Raptors.

Some of the images I saw have very similar paintjobs to my marines. Sweet.

Also, remembered this from my childhood. It might make a sweet chapter icon for a Raptor's successor chapter.



Cheers for the heads up.

I thought when I saw the pic that you were suggesting thundercats as a chapter name, then I read your post and thought "that would make a good chapter symbol."

This thread is epic! Inspired me to join and share in the fun. So difficult to pick a favorite, so I'll have to go with one of these:

Herald of Tzeentch magnetized with Disk or Burning Chariot




Bloodletters and Fiend for my Tzeentch-themed Daemons army


Tervigon


Mycetic Spore (can't tell from the pics, but this thing is big - for a sense of scale, the base is a CD)



Zoanthropes

I like that buggy. Those guys are almost exactly the same scheme as my marines, only mine have black shoulder guard trims (I am no good at photography, the colour is much more camo than in this picture, it looks like your main colour):



Since you said you had no idea what to call them or what symbol to use, feel free to do the same as me: they are called the Vindicators, have a red templar cross as their symbol, and they are DA successors, but don't hunt the fallen, ie follow standard codex organisation without raven- or deathwing. Would kinda be fun to be working on a DIY together. Mine are a mix of no-nonsense pragmatism and heraldic stuff, though, not sure whether that fits your idea.

I like the idea of linking armies together through the webway, AKA internet. I vote you join up, share fluff and share battle reps, that'd be awesome.

Online chapters to rival the 'smurfs

Here's a little something to hold you guys over until i get to my camera:



the orks' answer to the storm raven, this is an early pic of Da Surly Burd. i decided to eschew the tail, and it is now covered in armor plates, and it has doors, an engine above the wings, and a fin on top of the engine. i am thinking of using some space marine backpacks to the wings, etc (thanks for the awesome idea, monkeytroll!).

btw, i am also working on a diorama of Don Quixote, a book from Spain during the Renaissance; i am doing the part where he jousts with the windmills (though i am only at chapter two, i have still heard of this part.) i will post that when i get to my camera, too.

I do not even know what to think or say!

not sure this qualifies as a conversion since it's more of a scratchbuild but here goes:


this is my favorite but again it's more scratchbuild than conversion:


and another pic showing all the neatness that it does:


converted NightSpinner:


converted Farseers:





converted harlequin Venom:


converted jetbike(used as an autarch):


this is arguably my BEST conversion piece:

HA! Those look great! Especially the Ork vehicles. Gotta love that school bus.

LOVE the bus!

have a load of grots sat in it, with a runtherd driving...
maybe with caps and/or backpacks...
or if it's finished, how about modelling grots so they can sit in it and be removed?
I love the idea, though...

The bus was a funny one.

Btw do children in the 41st M go to school on buses,or go to school as we know it?

Melkhiordarkblade wrote:The bus was a funny one.

Btw do children in the 41st M go to school on buses,or go to school as we know it?

On school buses, no, but to school in general, it depends on the planet. On Cadia, kids are taught to be soldiers from the time they could walk, and on Catachan, they're just trying to survive, and on most other planets they will most likely not get a formal education unless their parents are high-ranking aristocrats

Here is my most recent (still WIP obviously).
This was my first attempt at anything like this. To top it off, I don't have GS or have ever used it, so I just used some air dry clay (Maybe that wasn't a great Idea).
It was supposed to be a Dark angel Veteran. But the more I look at it, the more it looks like a Stalker from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series. I don't play really play marines anymore so it really didn't matter to me if it turned out good or not. Obviously, it needs to be repainted. I am much better at painting now than I was when I painted these.


He's been busy rummaging around the zone looking for artifacts.

Here I feel is my best, not really a conversion but a scratch build. I don't even play IG, I just though it would be fun to make one.


Don't use air dry clay. It is a pain to work with when it is so thin.

Yes the bus itself is finished with the construction process, just need to get it and its passengers painted up, and what color would we paint something like this that is still Orky?
...
..
.
why, Bad Moons of course, so yeah the bus will be black and yellow, and will have "Los Orkales County School Systems" down the side, and the passengers are as one of the above stated, a bunch of Night Goblin conversions all carrying looted bolt pistols and bolters, they've been done up so that they can ride in the bus and fire out of the windows. i came up with an idea for a second set of passengers that will take some serious trading, and thats a bunch of 'Blood Bowl Orks'.

Imagine the look on your opponents face when you roll this thing to a stop in front of his marine squad and deploy a bunch of orks in football helmets and jerseys, if he doesn't piss himself from laughing so hard then he has no sense of humor and is a lost cause.

and since the bus is a current fave, here's the gallery link where you can see more pics of the bus, along with closeups of the different things it does, take note that in the shots where you can see the two orks in the turrest that the turrets keep facing different directions, this was done to show that they actually do turn 360 degrees.

what is it?

I have been working on my World Eaters for quite some time. Most of the CSMs started out as regular Marines, and have been converted. My WIP thread is here, http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/338802.page if you're interested in seeing everything to date. Here are my current favorites:
CSM Havoc with Las Cannon, was originally just a vanilla heavy weapons marine.


and a converted Obliterator. Originally an old metal Chaos Terinator. I particularly like how the Plasma Cannon turned out.

I should be getting my new paints by mail in a week or so, then I need to get some paint on these guys and many more!

Beautiful work Ravenous D... I'm curious as to what role it plays in the army.

I believe Ravenous' model is a Venom, right? It looks great.

@ Ravenous D: SWEET!

I'd have to say the same thing, A venom, and one of the BEST looking venom's i have seen bar none, including even mine.

Thanks man! I really tried hard on that one. Man it was expensive. You wouldn't believe the kits I went through to make it. I guess I need to put him up in the gallery and see if anyone else likes him too!

Send me a PM when you finish that bus. I teach a special needs class, so a looted School bus is kind of appealing to me in a weird sort of way!

oh don't worry, I will, but it's going to take awhile. i need hrs at work to improve, which they will do as we get closer to summer, then i need real life to stop blindsiding me with a blackjack. Then i should have the cash to do more conversions again, currently trying to figure a way to pay for some things i want here on Dakka, and then i have to get parts for a Battlefortress Conversion that i have in my head. I also need to finish up my Wave Serpent squad so that i have 6 of them. i just got the templates to build my own MegaNobz yesterday, so that will now go on the list of must do's along with a commisioned bus and finishing my fighta-bommer.

I will throw some of my stuff into the ring, I have a some more i will post when i get my camera fixed




IVe always been fasinated by walkers, But sadly this one will probaly never by use in a game, still a WIP got a few more things that I needed to do to it such as get better with pastic card



My commaber for my army, Still trying out with the green stuff one of the best capes ive done yet, still got alot to learn though

not my best but some of my faves

Basilisk Walker is ace!

I love the Basilisk

why wouldn't ever be use in a game?

I made this one 7 years ago. It's abit beaten up, like his arm for example. That arm is long gone.. But I made a new one




This one still remains my favorite, tho it's old
Also I wanna say that I love that awesome basilisk walker!

That's just the Basilisk kit and a set oif Defiler legs right? Heh, consider your idea nicked-now my Medusa won't look so out of place should I decide to take some more artillery...wait twenty foot walking tanks with huge guns on their backs...hmn...^^' Heh, and your commander looks quite the part too (giant pistol though, the ones you get with the Sisters of Battle minis are better scaled for Guard =P). Maybe just stick a bit more nick nacks on him, brading, a sash around his waste or something, possibly just a little bit of carapace armour, and he'll really stand out as your company commander. =)

...And will someone change the title of this topic. For one that pops up so regularry and has been going on so long, you'd think someone'd correct the grammar on the title-"converted". ¬¬'

Nice conversions, mine are either my parasite of mortrex or ork trukk although I don't have any pictures, I might take some

I can't find a single model in this thread that isn't bloody awesome.

Awesome Land Ship! Along with more Glyphs and random plates, I have one comment...the wires and hoses on the Budda-Boom Gun are al little too straight and orderly for Orks, and fire extinguishers? Really? LOL...but over all it looks great! It would be a fearsome sight to see on the other side of the table!!

Well, it doesn't technically count as a conversion. But it's my favourite, and my first scratchbuild (100% greenstuff apart from the helmet which is only 50% greenstuff.)

Not really sure if it's a real conversion.
But I just put the daemon gun barrels on plamsa guns and gave them to some Marines,instant Noise Marines.

@ Shrike - Good news, talked to a friend last weekend at our apoc game and i will have a group of plastic blood bowl orcs on their way to me shortly, and all i have to do is build him some more cardboard drop pods.

I'm not thrilled with the back end of that truck, to me it just doesn't match up with the front of the vehicle in a symmetrical way. yeah, I know, we're talking Orcs here, but even Orcs have some sense of symmetry. I'm thinking of ripping the back end off and replacing it with uge honkin' tires to give it more of the Tractor Pull idea, with a real slim area between the tires, or even have the rear bed stick out past the tires but have holes cut out of the bed so the tires stick through. Then i'll just take the back end and use it for another truck that looks more tank like.

please tell me what the rest of you think, leave it like it is and just orky it up more, or replace the back end with giant tires? here's the photo again to give you a better idea, and a tractor pull photo to compare, as well as a mockup image:

tractor pull?? trukk


actual tractor pull image
http://www.popecountyfair.org/images/tractorpull.jpg

with the way that the dozer blade, engine, then driver and then gunner all sit it's a straight line through the middle of the vehicle, much the same way that the actual tractor pull entry looks, until you reach the bed and that's where it loses it's symmetry. If I change it then i would roll cage in the driver and the gunner, then change the bed of the truck to accommodate the huge tires. Something like this:

I was going to say it would help to see it from different angles, but your Trukk makeover pic looks headed in a good direction...

I was going to say it would help to see it from different angles, but your Trukk makeover pic looks headed in a good direction...

it's pretty featureless no matter what side you look at from except for the front of the thing. the right side looks just like the left side, and the rear is just another plate dropped down over the popsicle stick tank treads. And i know i can get big A**ed tires cheap from Big Lots toy section.

Thanks. I turned 21 today and for my birthday she bought a bane blade and is going to convert it to a plaguereaper. I'm excited to see how it goes down. I'll post pics at some point. She's also going to do 2 predators, a squad of 10 spider possessed chaos marines, as many obilterators as i want, a land raider. Those all are going to take some time but she loves working on it. It's 100% green stuff. No wires or anything else. Alot of dedication.

I'm paying someone to paint it cause i know i couldn't do it justice.

She also cooks and paints. She's just not as good of a painter as she is a modeler. I can live with that though. lol

to hell with the idea of whether she can cook or not, she's a keeper period. Introduce her to Orks and she's a 40K gamer for life.

Its the pic. sorry not best quality

@Mad4Minis - Thanks There are some more WIPs in my Gallery. I've also got an on-going thread here charting my descent into Starcraft 2 themed madness

The vast majority of it is a standard Sentinel kit with added leg armour from the old Guard tank sprue track guards. the main thing that has added the height is that I inverted the hips/waist/chassis and added a small rotation joint. Brings the cockpit back up into line with the legs, rather than looking quite so front heavy.

@Diphranq - That is nice work on a metal mini

That is a super sick Plagued Tank!

I have a keeper! I got 40k for birthday, christmas, valentines day, and holiday trip to london i even got some! The plagued Vindi is a thing of beauty! Can't wait to see the plaugereaper!!

I HAD a keeper. She got me LOADS of 40k when i first got into it (when apoc first came out no less!), then one day i came home from work and she had bought me a Monolith for no reason!!! YAY!!!

Then she worked out how much i had spent on 40k already and now refuses to have anythgin to do with it.

Doh.

I am not sure if I put this guy up once before or not. Here is a link to the gallery for additional pics:

The painting is so clean but with such depth, I am in awe.

Thanks guys - The yellow is just Iyandan dark sun with a brown wash, and then another coat of iyandan dark sun to finish - no highlighting.

The Metal is just boltgun followed up with a badab blackwash.

I was impressed by how easily the Chimera and Truck parts fit together - the scales were perfect.

How did you do the checkers?

i gots a new war buggy conversion finished, pics up this weekend.

as promised here's the pics of my new warbuggy conversion, it's much better than that crappy old model that GW is still trying to foist off on us.









please NOTE: this thing is NOT painted yet so the tribal markings on the tire guards will dissappear unless i can figure out a way to preserve them. at any rate this was surprisingly easy to do, took all of 2 nights to throw it together. Please tell me what you think and if you have any ideas to improve on the next two that i plan to build from in a similar fashion.

The only critiscism I can think of is maybe putting the gunner further forward or the pipes further back...as-is he can only shoot forwards.

Cutthroatcure wrote:How did you do the checkers?

Checkers are easy peasy.

Paint a strip of the model you want the checkers to appear on in atronomicon grey, then white, until you have a smooth coat.

Once this has been done using watered down black and a fine detail brush paint out a grid as fine as you can. Once this is done just paint in alternating squares until the checks are done.

Just requires a steady hand.

Once this has been done using watered down black and a fine detail brush paint out a grid as fine as you can

or just use a fine tip Sharpie pen to do the same thing, be aware though that you will have to paint the balck over the sharpie marker lines or it will bleed through like it did on my dire avengers rainbowed helmet crest, since it looked good that way i didn't mind, but with black and white checks it could bleed through the white making the white checks look smaller than the black ones.

The only critiscism I can think of is maybe putting the gunner further forward or the pipes further back...as-is he can only shoot forwards.

I agree, right now it looks like he had a deathgrip on the trigger at one point in the past and shot the hell out of the exhaust pipes. I tried to run the pipes back by the tires so they would stick up at an angle in the area where the gunner is but couldn't get it to work right, I'll try a little harder on the next two, especially since i don't want them to look as if they were assembled on a factory line.

I've been modelling & playing for just 12 months now so thought I'd try my hand at a convervion of kinds. I've not over done it but am pretty happy with the results. I made the Deff Rolla with a fish food pot and some plasti-card.

At the moment my new "best converion" is my Daemon Prince. It took a lot more effort to build than it actually looks.



It's still a PiP.

Are those the arms off the plastic DP with the body of the metal one?

looks like it

Yup!

I bought the plastic kit and picked up this metal one for free (armless with only one pauldron). I didn't want to waste a perfectly good sculpt so I attached the spare plastic arms to it. Then I found they didn't quite fit so I had to GS muscle and mutated bits onto it.

Looks really good.

I thought the plastic kit was bigger than the metal one but the parts here seems to marry up pretty well.

Daemon Prince of Tzeench....

Chief Librarian Raphael of the Wanderers. Cool Guy with neat back story. Shame he is the last of the headquarters staff.

Thread died, may as well put 'em here

The Tau battle suit is bad ass! I have some spare bits kicking around and I think I'd be very temped to do something like that...

Samurai esque Tau

Nurgle Rhino collaberation between the wife and I.

The Tentacle is where it is at!

I think it's from the ork deff dread kit.

that dreddeff is so cheesy it's cool. I give it two dakka =

Pretty much every model I have worked on is a conversion, but here is my latest, and I think my best so far!

He's a "Blood Priest" basically a Dark Tech Marine dedicated to Khorne to run as an Aspiring Champion for my World Eaters Havocs:

Thanks for the input. I love when people say they like it but I'm interested why you think it looks cheesy. Any recommendations?

I've never tried converting anything before but with the plastic Grey Knights I thought I'd try to make some Terminators for my Thousand Sons army.

I don't mean cheesy in a bad way. remember, I HATE space marines, I'm an Eldar stuck in a man's body, and i'm Eldar through and through, allthough the Ork Mechaniak peeks out a lot. To me a dreadnaught just begs for conversion and it's so easy to do, that's what makes it cheesy. for instance just now in writing this message a pic of an Ogre kingdoms Ogre Tyrant just popped into my head with the upper half mounted on the dreadnaught legs, and sporting a deff dred close combat claw arm and you have a warboss with cybork body. there's that ork Mechaniak poking around again.

seriously, that dreddeff is good work.
the Khorne techpriest is pretty spot on as well, but you have to do something with the end thingy on his back that attaches to his mechanic tool arm.

Thanks! The Servo-claw thing? Yeah I have to beef it up a bit. And looking at the pictures, I forgot to add spiky bits! So, thanks! I'll work on that, and get it painted!

And BTW, the Deff Dred is great! And as for the 1000 sons Termys, I don't know much about thier fluff, would they be automatons like the marines? Or sorcerers? Just curious. Great paint job!

I've been looking for ages for one.

It's from the Thunder Hammer Conversion Pack.
