Here's my best converted figure. Nothing too fancy and my painting skills didn't do it any favors either. Just a Yarrick that when I recieved it was missing, part of both arms and his sword.

The head is from a Warzone plastic Imperial Sgt. The fist is a lefty SM powerfist with the thumb reversed (with a bit of GS) to make a righty. The left arm is just an IG arm with a fancy Plasma pistol from somewhere. A bit of GS to hide the various joins and the divot for the Sword that is gone and done!

Poofish wrote:Well honestly, that was a kindof afterthought. I had to do something because the shoulderpad was getting in the way of the powerpack. And the power fist was the whole inspiration for the conversion (it's supposed to look like he's about to hit someone with it as he rides by.) I don't like how it's a bit uneven, and how the longer cable (left one in the photo) had to be lengthened a bit obviously.

I think it looks awesome. You could replace the cables with guitar or bass strings, that might make the look more uniform.

I thought about the guitar/bass strings, but I don't have any really good ones, at the moment, and the ones I have aren't really thick enough to be convincing.

I know what you mean, After I'd undercoated it for my friend, it just looked so much better... and like a proper model. Once I'd given it to him though, its a case of waiting to see the whole think painted, I dont have any other pictures of it! (the only reason I took these is because the manager of the local gamesworkshop really wanted me to)


Re: Flying man...



Ha ha, thats epic work Winterdine! I'm also appreciating the weathering cracks all over it. Paint job is awsome too, I'll be using your model as inspiration I think. Honestly excellent work.

As everyone is well aware, GW minis are beyond expensive... and me being a frugal Chaos Warband Lord I set out to convert(scratchbuild really) a few of the more expensive kits. I'm not the best of course, and I am in serious need of some GS... but nevertheless here they are.

This thread is awsome! its inspired me to get converting.

Old guy with a new conversion. Don't have any antigrav platforms in my army, just the old guys, some with new weapons.

Please, do this. It only takes a second and people will actually take a look at your pics instead of passing them by. If I'm not mistaken I think they get deleted from the gallery as well.

They will, indeed be removed from the gallery and this thread will be left with white squares and red X's. :(

I liked the Lance so much I decided to name my budding Elysian Drop Troops Company the Elysian 119th "Vermilion Lances". This is an airmobile Russ carried by cargo nets underneath a Valkyrie, to provide anti-armour options for my squishy little Guardsmen.

Also, that Stompa is something else. Very Orky. All it need now are some speakers that play "WAAAAAGH!!!!" and various clanking and dakka-ish noises.

No, no. What he's described is a "Redneck". The mullet is a dead give away when identifying that particular sub-species.

That is awesome, i really like what you have done with the cape

The metallics on that de are great- how exactly did you get it like that?

Here are two conversions I am quite fond of, two kinds of wraiths: a branchwraith and a... pumpkin... wraith...

DE models usually look a bit lame, but that Trueborn is fantastically well done in an appropriately sinister way. Nice one.

The branch wraith is also cool.

For the bronze areas of my trueborn:

First mix equal parts tin bitz and dwarf bronze. Darken that up a lot with scorched brown. This is the basecoat.
Then, layer on a mix of equal parts tin bitz and dwarf bronze.
Next I used brown in on the recesses.
To highlight, add mithril silver to your tin bitz and dwarf bronze mix. Done!

Thraka is a Citadel Finecast model that has been primed in Army Painter Colour Primer (Plate Mail Metal). Awesome stuff to use on any model that has a lot of areas that will be painted metal / silver colour.

Your my hero. Literally. Such a great idea and amazingly executed. I also love the paint scheme, since it just so happens to be the same as my entire Troll army!
Oddly enough, Im working on something ridiculously similar for my Troll army Warshrine... In due time I suppose.

Are those real butterfly wings?? lol

Except butterflies are some of the strongest and highest fliers in the world. I'd like to see Mr. Dragonfly-wings over there fly from the North Pole to the South Pole through the stratosphere.

I'm thinking this might not be finished. It'd look amazingly better with that black, orange and white theme continued through the rest of the model.

TOTALLY off topic... sorry.

Anvildude wrote:Except butterflies are some of the strongest and highest fliers in the world.

I'm guessing that you're referring to the insect world only? I'm sorry, but a butterfly is neither stronger nor higher of a flier than a bird. Butterflies have been known to fly upwards of a skyscraper, but that is not necessarily testament to their flying prowess. More likely that they just get caught on updrafts and what have you.

Anvildude wrote:...fly from the North Pole to the South Pole through the stratosphere.

I'm guessing that this was more of an embellishment than a statement? Our stratosphere is about 6 or 8 miles above the earth's surface. No way a butterfly could make it. Plus, butterflies are cold-blooded creatures. They die from the cold long before they got there.

Anthropology is about people, not insects... It's an entomologist you're looking for...

Anthropology rant done with (that's what happens when you look seriously at being one), that mycetic spore looks rather interesting, though I am somewhat befuddled at what it looks like, three dimensionally. All I'm getting from this angle is... wall of red?

Ooo! Space dinosaur riding exodites. Those are cool. But where, oh where, does that allosaurus come from? That's just such a cool dinosaur piece, if I may say so.

Papo makes some decent dinosaurs toys. All I did was give it a snout horn to make it a megasaur. I liked the color scheme of the toy, so when I gave it a similar paint job once I primered it. I'm going to get around to adding some more eldar decor to flesh it out some more as a model.

Ghidorah wrote:As for this model, the work done is very good. The painting is pretty good, too. Unfortunately, I'm not buying the combination Tyranid + butterfly wings. I can imagine that Tyrant being picked on all the time at the playgrounds. All his peers are zooming around on their sleek, fast membrane wings and here comes little Fluttermuffin, flitting all over the place without a care in the world... Butterfly wings invoke random flight, casual pattern images, not fast, warlike ones.

The Baron agrees.

The Baron has been contemplating whether to be actually impressed. It looks alright, but the size... there's such a thing as too much.

It's not a laspistol. Marbo Has a ripper pistol, and thats what that is.
Thanks

Indeed he does, basically a cut down sniper rifle, nasty!

Very nasty, the AP is also a lot better than a normal IG sniper rifle. Though I haven't used it yet as I tend to use the demo charge his first turn and then he dies.

portugus wrote:It's not a laspistol. Marbo Has a ripper pistol, and thats what that is.

Gotcha. I don't know Marbo's rules or anything. It just looks like a laspistol. Makes sense now that you explained it, though.

No worries. It "was" a laspistol though. I probably could have converted the body of the gun a little more.

portugus wrote:Very nasty, the AP is also a lot better than a normal IG sniper rifle. Though I haven't used it yet as I tend to use the demo charge his first turn and then he dies.

yeah I find that too! But it's when you realise, he can shoot both! Throw Demo charge and then blat shot with his pistol. Dang nasty.

He can't shoot both.

The lads at Warhammer World Nottingham didn't have an issue when I raised the question, maybe I pulled a bad judge then.

Hmmm. Yeah only one shooting attack can be used a turn unless a special rule says so or you're a vehicle. But if they let you awesome.

man there is some really good stuff in here. now i feel like i need to get a camera and try and be creative....

Yeah I could see that tyranid being the reason for a "butterfly effect"
