Hey everyone

this post is for everyone to share any conversions they have made for imperial guard

If you have made a conversion post a pic up and show your hard work to everyone else

Where are your efforts then?

I'll bite!

Not finished yet, but some heads I will be using with my IG - going for a WWI British gasmask and WWI/II British soup bowl helmet:





Also my Valk with altered (magnetic!) wings and removable roof section:

@ Tek

You IG commanders ain't cold-hearted enough! When are we gonna see children amongst the ranks, huh? Starship Troopers did it, but you? Nooo! *tsch*

Children aren't tall enough to give cover to the soldiers advancing behind them though...

Dang, you're right! Well, then just SOME? C'mon - we're at the brink of total annihilation! Well, you are...

Heres my attempts, this squad was done quite a while ago now, but im starting to get back to the Inq army i have planed, so will be piking up where i left off.





Iv also done some female heads and weapons that i hope to get cast through Chapter House.





Im looking forward to seeing this thread grow, as i think IG are one of the most characterful and varied army in the 40k universe.

My renegade guard guys..

Talent, shmalent! They looked a lot sketchier before the pain job! They're kitbashed from Cadians with the guns and heads from WHFB Outriders. Some of the parts needed a little trimming to fit right, and at least one of the guns needed serious conversion to fit correctly. The Sergeant (blurry in pic - check my blog/gallery for more images) is pretty cool, the trumpet looks killer on a guard.

WIPVostroyan(sp?) officer converted from WHFB Bear riding Kisselvite:


Wanted him to be kind of "barrel chested".

I made this fairly standard gun team, meant to be the crew from an abandoned vehicle:


And of course my favorite that I've done:








And here's a WIP for those interested:

I started work my own tanith first project.

here is the link to the P&m log. Tanith project starts down at page six.: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/294909.page

my army is nearly totally composed of models that have been converted in some way or another. Some of my fav's are these guys:

my ogryn:



my priests:



my commissars:



a random officer, guardsman, and my astropath:



And one of my guard-themed objective markers:



Among others...

I'd buy some of thes heads and weapons.

Agreed

Not the best of pictures seeing as my camera being moody with me!

mostly weapon mods but i wasnt keen on the master vox model that came with the old command squad so made my own

Those minis with the auto guns look great!

always prefered Autoguns, sadly so bloody hard to get hold of now :(

Err, half a Darkeldar Slave girl, half an Escher.... lots of GS

That would be sweet!

There is a large amount of awesomness concentrated in this thread

Here's some of my old work.










Yeah... I like Special Forces guys

God, I have so many. Mostly, small personalising touches for infantry (I have 68 guardsmen, and not one of them isn't specially posed or converted in some way), apart from for vehicles, where I go nuts.

This is my buggy and my truck. The buggy is a converted land speeder, which counts as a salamander scout vehicle. The truck is just a dave taylor truck, for which my only imput was tracing corel files out of pdf templates to laser cut it, then actually assembling the blasted thing.


Then there is my hydra, a mixture of a rhino and chimera, and ageis defence line.


Then, my heavily converted punisher. I was so proud of it I documented how to make it, here



My hellhound


And some actual guard:





hen, my primaris psycher/astropath, Master of the Fleet, and Master of the Ordinance.


Also, hits the spot, I would be very interested in buying some female heads if you get round to casting them.
