Ah, well all I can say on that one is that its not even primed yet. There is a cohesive idea in mind, reflected in the blog in my siggy. I knew it would draw a bit of hate from purists. Its all good. It'll look cohesive and proper once its finished and shown along side the army it's being modeled for.


As far as it being dabbed and dunked, its actually pretty damn hard to trim down, GS, and pose parts from disparate kits into something that reflects a biomechanical theme. There isn't much glue at all in the model at this point. Most of the bitz are trimmed down from a huge variety of things into a rough fit, then filed to a close fit...little bit of GS to smooth the joins where I want an organic look. Wish I had a vise and drill. Maybe these pics will make the direction I'm going a bit more clear....understandably some folks aren't going to dig it. Its a break from the GW strictures for sure.

Also included are models in process of stripping. Possessed, random termies, stock DP, random muhreenz.

What will you be playing it as? A DP or a Lord on a mount?

That gun looks mean BTW. nice work.

DP at this point, although the model is weird enough to play as several things. The gun is a clipped and filed Necron Heavy Destroyer gauss weapon with added bitz from 4 different kits to try and give it a more chaotic feel. The other arm is going to be a gun, probably built around something from an Ork sprue. The CCW are modeled as the tendrils and mandibles on the lower hull. Basically he doesn't need more weapons because he IS a weapon....made of weapons.

Wow, lots of great models here! Here is my contribution...I have lots more that are WIP, so I'll just show the one that is the most done.
This is my first Genestealer to Bloodletter conversion. I have one more mosly done, and a 3rd one in the works. But this is my fave!

It's also one of the photos in my gallery tied for the highest vote count! 1! Woo Hoo!

Cool! My brother would love that one. Could give him some inspiration on Tau converting. I like the transformers idea and movable joints!

The movable joints on that Tau make me wish to build my own articulated Dreadnought, thanks for it...

I am so in love with this...Good Idea going with the Living Lightning!

I'm curious. On the convertible Tau suit, did you use magnet or some kind of cast snap in part? Lemme know....I love the idea.

My Warhammer 40k Slaanesh Daemon Prince converted from a Belkhor model from WFB

Swarmlord Swords are from Paulson Bits




And a converted trygon (just a minor one, tail reshaped around the building, idea taken from someone on warpshadow)

AWW, its pregnant...whens the babies due?

My first conversion, and my current WIP,(the second conversion i ever did)

WIP tower of skulls... all the bits are on, just (!) needs painting and finishing details.

That tower is epic. Great use of bits. I'm especially fond of the front/business end of it.

This is not my model, but a conversion done by a mate,
i reckon it turned out great.
I just need to build on my photographic skills to capture some better shots..

These are two of my favorites:

Mega Deth Kopta


Pestiferous the Maggot King

The Maggot King is awesome. What do you run him as? A Herald of Nurgle, Greater Daemon or Chaos Lord on Palequin (with daemon weapon)?

Thanks GS. The old Maggot King unfortunately hasn't seen a battle since the glory days of the Lost & the Damned mini codex. But I'd probably run him as a Chaos Lord on a palanquin. He was nasty in the old rules

Everything looks sooo good! ill see if I can dig up a camera for a conversion or two fo mine

That Tower is amazing!!!! But are you sure there's enoguh guns on it? I think there's still some room on e side.....

Tower is amazing! So is that Daemon made out of a troll and a Sentinel.

More WIP.

Praxiss wrote:That Tower is amazing!!!! But are you sure there's enoguh guns on it? I think there's still some room on e side.....

I'd be worried that if you put any more guns on it, it would fly backwards when it fired.


Ok, well, since this was the thread that got me hooked on this place, I thought I better post one of mine. Nice and simple, really, and not a massively original idea, but I've gotten rather fond of this guy:


I'm half way through painting him, and I'm working on a Elf Princess based off the Sigvald model. Everything in this thread makes me want to crack out a 40k army again, though, and mod massive great guns onto anything that looks even remotely mechanical.

i guess my best would be this

Would have went with my Daemon Prince from my old IWs but i have no good old pics and i think he resides somehwere in Australia?

I really like it! (except for it being ultramarines and all )

edit: Is that an Ork power klaw by any chance?

Oh, scragglybeard, Ork... TASTIC!

All it needs are some grots firing stubbers in the air, and you've got every class of gunz available to that one happy ork.

Junk Droid (Avatar of Khaine)





I guess the idea was that the god of war would be made of the tools of war.

I've got a couple of conversions that I'm fairly happy with. The first is a BSB for my Dark Elf army based on the Prince Althran model, he's not quite finished yet. I still need to do a few touch ups, put some sort of design on the banner and base him.




The second is my Tzeentch DP which leads my Thousand Sons army.



note to self: convert more stuff so I don't have to keep posting pics of the same DP whenever conversions are brought up.....

I suppose I could also argue that my entire Black Templars army is converted but that's really just kit bashing since I just use a lot of upgrade parts and very few regular marine bits.
