A friend of mine is making a Nid army where most models (that are large enough) is fighting against Space Marines.
This looks so awesome I asked him if I could post some of them on this forum.
Trygon fighting assault marines.

Carnifex Ripping a Rhino apart


Zoanthrope blasting a marine with it's psychic attack


This last is part of an all converted Eldar army where every model
is made mixing bits from High Elf, Dark Elf, and Eldar models.
Wraithlord with Brightlance


Sorry for crappy photos, don't have a proper camera around.

Thar image doesn't really give the Trygon all the praise it should have. There are several small details around most of the marines.
The one being eaten has a grenade in his hand ready to shove it in to the Trygons mouth. The one on it's back is carrying a melta bomb, the one back at the tail has shot several small holes in the Trygons carapace, and there are scratch marks from the chainsword. The one with a claw partialy sticking out of his head is in the process of dropping both his weapons.

I already posted my Stormraven way back, not sure if I can post a second model, but I just finished my conversion for Carnavon, High Chaplain of the Flesh Tearers (counts-as Astaroth)

Dude that flesh tearer is fantastic. Awesome weapon conversion and the face looks great too. I'm not sure I understand what is going on with his backpack though.

And not to discourage or in anyway diss your awesome, original idea - but purely fluff wise, if you wanted to, you could still include Astorath (as is) in the flesh tearers army because he does make his rounds amongst the successor chapters.

it's hard to make out in this picture, but those are servo skulls, they're arranged more over his left shoulder, but yeah, I can see where the confusion comes from at this angle.

while true in the newer codex, I prefer to use the fluff from the old Index Astartes article, where the FTs keep their own house in order, and keep marines fallen to the Black Rage around as long as possible to swell their ranks. Plus I like my conversion


thanks for the nice comments though!

Also, her:

I loooove the Imperial Guard Segway concept.

And I'm guessing that carnifex ripping up the Rhino is getting a face full of bolter rounds any second now. To quote a quite mediocre movie: "I don't care what universe you're from, that gotta hurt!" Really nice conversion though. Very dynamic.

I know this has been commented on before, but it's just such an outrageously provocative statement, that I just can't stop myself.

Who the Heck(TM) are you to make a comment like that, Samus? And to tell him to "get out" because your subjective opinion is that his paintjob sucked? At least he HAS a paintjob, quite unlike you. I guess all your models come in the out-of-the-box concrete camo. Incredible that you can post a comment like that, on a painting-critique forum, without having posted ANYTHING yourself. JEEEEEEZ.

Anyway, I've seen much worse than his model on this forum.

Well the people arguing with what you said have very good reason too. Theres a HUGE difference from constructive criticism, and what you said. You were(and still are) very rude with what you said. You simply could of said, hey you need to slow down, and try to think out more on what your doing, because IMO it looks sloppy. That would of been far better then, well it basically looks like cat gak that was eatten and than shat out again.

Besides, I still would like to see some of your work, if your going to harass someone like you did. That way if your stuff is close to awesome sauce, at least Ill understand where all the hate came from

Judging from the tentacles and Plague marine I think it is meant to be a Nurgle Plague Tower. So in that case, it needs to be more Nurgly I guess.

As my Fallen Angel Sorcerer is the only conversion I have pictures of right now I'll post it. It's quite basic, some greenstuff used to fill gaps, a Sorcerer backpack I aquired from one of my friends, a pair of Pegasus wings and some black templar bitz. All of this added to a DA vet another friend give me in exchange for some flamestorm cannons. I made some positioning changes to the weapons as well but that's it.



It's on display at my local GW, shame the camera hasn't picked up some of the highlights that well.

More pictures of it can be found in my Gallery.

Some persuasion and just asking them nicely, that and the staff set up a cabinet recently for converted and well painted models. Some of the models in the case are painted by staff members but a few aren't, there is a Malanthrope, Witch Hunter Preachers, some awesome Tau and then (my) Fallen DA all of which have been painted by visitors to the GW store. Their is also a bit dedicted to a WHFB 'Hero's Tale' thing.

Nice stuff here. Whether it looks really professional or not, I think anyone's effort to make something different should be applauded for the attempt if nothing else. Its not like any of these are cheap miniatures, so it takes some courage to do it, and whether it fits your tastes or level, its all good. I just got back into wargaming again after a long hiatus, so hopefully I'll have some new stuff soon. Been painting a few miniatures for RPGs I've been in, lately, and I got the bug again. Lessee if I have any pictures of older stuff...

Apparently, I didn't really take pictures of many of my miniatures... so all I have is this simple decorated base for a Malus Darkblade I painted a long time ago. Everything else is from other systems entirely... =/

Its good, Iv been using it for everything, it holds detail nicely and dries nice and fast. You can also see what you've done better due to the colour, i still think GS it better for super thin details, although the few face experiments iv done with the ProCreate have come out well enough, so i might change my mind. All in all good stuff and worth a try.

Oooh! My turn!!

I've been poking around and sadly couldn't decide between two. Both are centerpiece/HQs for my current armies and I'm rather fond of each of them. The first one though was probably my 'best' conversion because the most work went into it. But sadly, the Carnifex "Gunslinger" (2 heavy weapons) is no longer valid. He's included here because I'm about to tear his arms off. :(


I had picked up an older carnifex somewhere. Totally detest the model, so I made it a support piece and wanted to give it that 'sturdy' look for firing two weapons.


The Great White Hive Tyrant, eternally sought by Shas'o Ba'ha. *sigh* I love this little guy <3. I had the old tyrant model for ages before I picked up doing tyranids solidly, by then a new model was on the way, and I just thought it made more sense for a flying one to be smaller. I also didn't want to do the dragon wings, since it would way overbalance the model. Inspired by Nausicaa and or dragonflies, I went for a double set of wings (from the DE dark pegasus), put a couple more tendrils on the lash whip and made him fly.


Elorrah is my current pride and joy. I used an old guardian figure that I had picked up waaay back when I first got into the hobby just for painting things. The hair is actually the original hair color with some slight highlighting. I had to redo the face though. I sacked a whol farseer model just for the helm and her sword is on the other side of the bike. I'm really pleased with the pose and how the greenstuffed cloak came out.

Cut a circle of plasti- card and cut a small hole in that so that it sits on the head better, so it looks like a polo, and you have the rim. Then just roll a cylinder of green stuff to make the hat. Simple!

He is a Salamander Captain yes. Didn't want to go with the usual bright green style so toned it down a bit. The cloak is from the Dark Elf corsairs champion. It's just a case of shaving off the back of the body so that the Space Marine torso fits. Then just cut a slot in the top of the cloak for the mount for the backpack to fit into.

Thank you for the comments.

The Odessey wrote:Wow, how long did that take?


The Hydra took (from uncut parts to full constuction) about 6 hours to build. To paint maybe two hours.
How I painted (infact this is how i paint all my Armour) the Hydra is to firstly use a good Enamel car primmer (the reason for this is not only does it stick to any thing it also acts as an exalent key for the top coats of paint). Spray twice, then once more to make sure.
I heavy drybrushed Titanium White for the hull edge lines. Cold Steel is the base colour for the tracks, then a light drybrush of Molten Bronze over the track to give that used and tarnished look, Lamp Black used for the rubber track bits, then washed with Paynes Gray (a water colour paint, the reason for this is that water colours by there very nature dry translusant) to sit in the deep bits. the guns were painted in Cold Steel then drybrushed with Birght Silver and given a good thick wash with the Paynes Gray (note while it says its a gray, almost black in colour when used as a wash it is more of a Deadly Nightshade Blue).
It was that quick as the primer is the base coat.
When it come to it, I'm a really lazy painter as i know how to short cut stuff and still make it look table top ready

Yes it is, it was going to be a M.A.S.H evac skimmer so it had to based on the awesomeness that was the Bell 47. Then i saw the stats for the Valk and if i can I get to "counts as" with it.

When You Say "Scratch Built", do you mean to say you cut this yourself from a template? Or some kind of conversion? I'd love to try this kind of thing, and don't have the money to blow on forgeworld.

I used lackofabettername's template of a thunderbolt - which was really easy to build from (I ended up making three in total - two given away as presents) and they cost very little in plasticard - you can add as much detail as you want after building the base model. It was about two-three days build time for each. lackof's templates are superb, I've built one of his warhounds as well.

Ahhh, I'm glad you thought that through. A lot of people wouldn't have had an actual reason. Nice work!

JaWzY83,
I would have said Advent Children. With the massive sword and horse (almost like a motorbike), it reminds me of Cloud.
The horse's position reminds me of Zelda. Overall it makes me think of Devil May Cry for some reason. I'm doubting any of them are right, though.

That wraith phasing through the wall looks amazing
The lighting effect on it is top notch.
I agree with the others though, could we have a rear shot please?

I think this is my best conversion, I built it a few years ago for my Deamonhunters army.

I'm very happy with my Dark Angels Venerable Dread conversion (it's converted from a standard Dread):


None of my tyranid conversions are quite finished yet... but here are some WIPs:

Doom of Malant'ai (next to a regular Zoanthrope -- still in need of the spine, and brains)


T-fex (still in need of 2 pairs of arms, including the ones that feed in to the gun)


Mycetic Spore (needs final detailing)


Parasite of Mortrex (needs wings completing, and a load of gap filling)

I thought that as well at first glance but if you look closely its just a standard sized ork head. Im sure it'll look great once painted, its just cause there's so much silver there now.

Great conversion only problem is that the center models chest plate is way to bare. I assume you going to sculpt something onto it.

It's quite basic, some greenstuff used to fill gaps, a Sorcerer backpack I aquired from one of my friends, a pair of Pegasus wings and some black templar bitz. All of this added to a DA vet another friend give me in exchange for some flamestorm cannons. I made some positioning changes to the weapons as well but that's it.



It's on display at my local GW, shame the camera hasn't picked up some of the highlights that well.

More pictures of it can be found in my Gallery.

I realy have never been big on converting but i needed something special to stand out as a grey knight comander. This was probably the hardest conversion I have ever done. I had to saw the arm off and then build the attachment point back up with green stuff before sticking the psycannon arm on. A few pieces of etched brass and I called him done. I actually have painted him stuck, the big book on top, and stuck him on a different base since then but never got around to taking pics yet.

I painted a good deal of fellows in this pattern, and as much as i loved the infinity snake emblem, I never could come up with a good name for the Chapter

Sorry for the less than perfect camera work, still havent quite figured out the perfect balance.

My personal favorite is an Ork I did as a gift for a friend. Not the best picture of it, but the only one I could find. The Space Wolf looted gear represents the fact that he pretty much taught me to play, and my space wolves got tromped.

Cool,models.

It makes me want to post pics of my Living Saint/Slaanesh Daemon Princess.

BTW I need some advice on a few up-coming conversions.

Firstly,how big are Reaper minitures,as in are they the same scale as 40k,the model in question is the 2008 Christmas Sophie,a female Daemon sitting on a chimney. Just if anyone has seen it.

Secondly,I the picture of Inquisitor Lord Karamazov,there is a bald female in SoB power armour with a shield and spear with nails in her head and a halo. Does anyone know a good model to use as a starting point for her.

Thanks for the help.


Your best conversion model (Seven awesome years of conversions) @ 2010/07/05 12:53:25


Post by: Prophecy07


I'd just take a sister in appropriate armor, find a bald head to use (the hardest part; maybe cut the hair off a sister head/green stuff to smooth it out?), and use green stuff/pins/wire/etc. to make the nails and halo.

edit: Ktulhut, I love the shield on your wolf rider. What do you use the hell-engine thing for? Daemonprince?

Not really a conversion, but I used the dozer blade from the chaos tank sprue, and I sliced up a marine and maimed him on the blade. This is (For all intensive purposes) my first conversion, aside from some soldering experiments on gaunts. Pics later...Camera suxs...

It's actually the arm of some old action figure I had lying around. There was a heroclix model I saw once of Gambit jumping off of a destroyed Sentinel hand, and all you could see was the arm coming up out of the base. My idea for this guy was to have more of a kunnin' Mork follower (or is it Gork), rather than a fighty Gork follower (or Mork). So the general story is that he managed to ambush some Xenos warmachine/walker thing and is now raising his banner and shouting in triumph. Also, his gun has a lot of dakka for good measure. And a chainsaw. Can never have too many chainsaws.

edit: also, other way around. His Waaagh stopped my poor Wolves.

Thanks, Cutthroat. Much appreciated. That same christmas, he converted and painted me a pretty badass Bjorn model. Wish I had a picture of it handy. His wife and my girlfriend both decided they weren't speaking to us anymore.

Well, here it is some pics of my first (and unique, at the moment) conversion. Not as good as some I've seen in the previous pages, but I'm very glad of it.









It's supposed to be an ultramarine corrupted from chaos. I've customized a miniature from the "Assault on Black Reach" package and i particularly like the scratch on his chest.
Now I'm working on a new conversion like this one, but including a horse skull... maybe I'll post something later. See ya!

My first conversion, OOP noise marine body, head of a gargoyl or gaunt, SM shoulderpads and arms, and hand made lightning claws out of a powerfist.


My Inquisitor Adeptus Sororitas. Mostly from an inquisitor assassin, hands of the SM captain in terminator armor. Lots of greenstuff.



This is my best though. Morghur Master of skulls, made from a beast lord. heavy greenstuff. Not much in the way of extra models.


Almost forgot to take pics of his back... lots of skulls from skeleton box set.

My Eldar Pirate Prince, Cael Meallan, the Hand that Falls. Inquisitor scale Ranger, with a metal Wraithlord Powerfist. I actually don't own any uncoverted minatures, but since I don't own any 28mm ones (other than my old housemates abandoned Blood Angels and Dark Eldar that I use for parts), that makes a little more sense...
