Do scratch builds count?

They most certainly do if they are as good as yours. That is one pissed off rat. Almost angry enough to be a Angry Marine...

I'm not really a fan of the joke marine armies, and that's not really much of a stormraven, just a valkyrie with bolt-on weapons - but it is a hell of a valkyrie! Using those building bits is genius, I think that would make an absolutely awesome conversion for an inquisition valkyrie, or a high-up commander's personal transport, or something.

very cool pose. what parts/bits did you use to make him?

Eversor assassin seems to be the most of it.

The amniotic tank is made from some turret bits and a clear plastic lid from some random cosmetic product, the goo itself is zitardes 2k water gel with a drop of magenta ink mixed in. The water effect from zitardes are a resin compound and makes this attainable in one pour

The tech assasin is mostly an eversor model with the sword arm sculpted and the sword from the baneblade commander. There is however a lot of repositioning involved in converting him.

I love the angry marine bird, it's nice to see that orks aren't the only humorous race in 40k

I can agree with "The Damned Artificer" in saying it is good to see another funny army that looks BadA** at the same time!

Would this not work with normal water effect?

Again there's a lot more, this is just a small fraction

I love your Knight Titan. I watched the progress of it being built a while back and still every time I see it I'm blown away. Way to go.

Nope The normal water effect (GW) is on an acrylic base, which means it needs oxygen for the water in it to evaporate. The problem is that it takes forever to cure if the layer is too thick, and we're talking millimetres here, and the resin water effect has no such limit. The reason for that is that the one of the two components mixed is the hardener, and when mixed with the resin it creates a chemical reaction forcing the resin to cure (usually with resin it creates heat when it cures but I don't think this particular type does) and that means there's no limit to the thickness of the pour as long as the two compounds are properly mixed. Hope this helped

And thanks for the other comments too guys

thanks i was trying to copy the technique in WD article spacewolf LC and changing the frost color.
though my hand need more finesse on the stripe parts, good thing it still turn out fine

Here's my Kharn the Betrayer. I felt the old miniature needed an updated, more dynamic pose and went for the Codex picture look.

Moar! MOAR!!

What did you use for this? The old model just cut up and reposed or something else?

From the original Kharn I've kept...

Head
Backpack
Gorechild and arm
Plasma pistol arm and wrist
Legs below the knee

Attatched to a few zerker bits, the khorne shoulder pad from the chaos marine squad kit and roberts your fathers brother! Threw his torso and upper legs away. Took an age to get the positioning balanced right but I feel its much better for it. Bit of green stuff at the seals and the odd skull totem on a chain and that was that. Sounds easier than I found it but I think anybody with experience could better my attempt if not the idea!

wows all this stuff looks amazing i love the knight titan vey sweet.

Isn't that the warbosses claw from black reach,

Nope, scratch built. Though it was certainly inspired by the aobr Warboss. Particularly the blades.

I've got her primed up just need to paint her. But I don't wanna screw it up... took forever to get the whips(wire) right.

WOAH nice idea for a whip i could use that technique for making Corax conversion for ravenguard

Nothing as amazing as some of the stuff in this thread, but here we go.

CavPathfinder - where did you get the mini metal hoses for the conversions? those look great on the minis!

Love the mace and is that fiber glass you used for the waist coat?

How did you afford a soul grinder just to combine with the defiler? If you have a daemon army too, i guess that it would make sense. Do you, or are you just filthy stinking rich?
Awesome conversions, by the way. (one was not enough)

I don't know how to state the win.

I too am wondering where you got the metal cables.

Looks like guitar wire... hit up any local bands you know, they are sure to break strings and can donate some to you. Otherwise, your local music/instrument store should be able to supply by the metre...

must...make...defiler.....right....now awsomes on the defiler kudos

I will say the Soul Grinder looks amazing!
