HW dudes need to be on 60mm bases now.

That said, there is absolutely nothing stopping you getting a 60mm base, flocking it, and then just placing your 20mm-based models on it.

What model is that? I'm especially interested in the scythe.

**VikingScott**

Empire wizard kit.

I have a few heavy weapon teams that came as two models. And you're supposed to use the base it cam with so....

My issue with the FW heads is you would think being FW & GW are pretty much one in the same that they would be a little closer in size.
I’m measuring a difference of 3/32 which in these little guys is a big difference.

the torsos for the vets are the same. but, as mentioned, when you get everything put together and painted, you don't really notice it as much.

I see that now.... a little work in the neck area and they look OK....

**Foxtale**

Empire Wizard kit, with the Corpse Cart rider as body. Nice idea.

**Flinty**

The Stalkers are almost on station!

My most over the top conversions to date

**VikingScott**

I see stealth suit parts but what else?

**Viktor von Domm**

i think the backpacks are from devastors?

Completely correct.
Really gave off the Leader/Undead-vibe I wanted.

The Scythe usually counts as a Power Fist in games, elevated base shows prominence and the act of raising more skeleton-soldiers.

I use the rest of the Empire Wizard kit in my list, noticeably (as posted) for advisers.

Heh, well you asked. The feet are from Crisis suits, the backpacks are Devastator plasma cannon bits, the leg extensions use part of Tau landing gear, the exoskeleton legs are formed from Guard smoke launchers, The assualt launchers are SM smoke launchers, the leg hydraulics use a bit of wire and Tau vehicle burst cannon barrels, The melta guns are a combination of Tau fusion blaster and Guard flamers, and finally the guys themselves are Cadians with pig iron head swaps and Hasslefree weaponry. Add GS to taste and shake well

As this thread is full of great IG converters I have a question to ask.

How would you make a force made of many vaired models looking uniform? Or making them look like an army rather than a load of mis-matched figures?

**endtransmission**

Oooo lots of inspiration in here; nice work everyone

Just to add to the mix, here are some of mine from earlier this year.

Company command squad

Primaris Psyker

Carapace armoured vet WIP

Guardsman

Penal Squad

**Truffle**

Them vets are well cool.

**Scorpionov**

uniform colors on the uniforms can go a long way.

Seconded. The individual models can look like almost anything, but some nice simple solid blocks of colour will help tie together a whole army. Models are quite small so most of an army will be viewed from further away than individual details could be identified at.

**VikingScott**

EVen thought I may combine all forms of guard I can get my hands on? (Had the Idea of a ad hoc regiment from many worlds using several lines of guardsman models. Was going to be the requisitioned army of an Inquisitor.)

**Howard A Treesong**

Can I whore out my Deathstrike again?

I'll have to make something new soon...

**Tortured-Robot**

Carapace armoured vet ?..Fantastic!!!!

**Ailaros**

Meh, the missile isn't big enough.

Its not the size...its what you do with it

**Imperial Monkey**

They're not much but here goes.

Just a SM chainsaw arm on a sergeant.

I love standard little guardsmen that pack an attitude. Usually, it's just a sea of humanity, so making models that don't look like their either wetting their pants holding a lasgun, or are just generically charging forwards is nice.
