Impressive Snakebites!

My custom Drazhar count as. Its not much of a Conversion but I do think it's good.

Nothing too fancy here. Just some simple cutting, bending, and reglueing of Ork parts from a few kits (ork boyz and Lootas/burnas mostly).

First up, one of my favorites, Ork Hamlet. Alas, poor Yorrick I knew him well


And now for the Nob to lead the Shoota Boyz mob. He has a souped up gun (just bitz) and I made the banner from a combination of bosspoles, bosspole bitz, wires from a rokkit launcher, and two tesla coil things from a super old starter set that came with terrain. It's supposed to represent a 'floating' gravity standard or something. It looks silly, Orkish, and it was fun to make Oh, and the Nob's head is from a mekboy head with the Lootas/Burnas kit.

Nicely done!

Now for some more of the Baron's age old work.

Note these are around 5-10 years old, so rest assured I am confident I could do better today.

My Cyboar Massive, which I am unsure as to pass off as a bike squadron or not. The Baron would better learn the game properly first.



And the Amazing Cyboar Boss, remixed from a fantasy Orc Boar rider I believe.


I found my Sandman! And Electro with it. I'm getting worried now, I can't see my Doc Ock around. Not to worry, I can rebuild it. The Baron has the technology.


My once proudest achievement. Pharoah Tamose - Master of my Chapter Sons of Ra, which actually gave birth to the Crimson Fists. They went blue because they were running out of gold and made it dark blue to seem more 'ard.


He's part of a Terminator Command Squad which each had a deity on their heads, but they looked terrible due to my piss-poor sculpting skills. Especially the crocodile and jackal.

I am quite impressed that after all this time, the blu-tack has held its shape so well. I gave it quite a few coatings of PVA glue at the time. I would take it apart and make a sturdy one from green stuff, but I fear it would lose the magic.

The Baron wrote:No where near as good as the pieces on offer here, The Baron's conversions revolve around the idea of "stick as much as you can together from what you've got". Due to my cheapness because of limited budgets at present I like to use as much as what's provided to make something sexy... Plus I know half of the left over stuff will never get used, so why not slam a few things together and see what happens?

Case 1: The Spiderfex. I wasn't a fan of the legs and had some talons left over so decided to make something pointy. And find as many of the spiky carapaces to make it look evil.



I'm not sure if these look more like breasts or testicles. I wasn't planning on it being either but they just hang there.



Case 2: Daemon Prince. Not exactly the greatest example of Citadel engineering. I just cut up all the heads, stuck the horns onto one head and had the others looking like they were coming out of his leg. As you do.





Don't worry, I'll have a "proper" conversion soon.

Makes me think Evil Dead for sure!

The Delightful Marvel Squad:


Some choice images.




My finest piece of the set. Although there's a Doc Ock one which for some reason I haven't taken a picture of.

I like them...I think you should do a Termi up like the Juggernaut.LOLZ

The Baron is intrigued by this... It might also be good as a Dread(Jugga)naught. But then you'd need some more done. The Hulk... Oooh, Onslaught would look nice.

I've got a Tyranid Prime.

Cmon why everybody says that? I agree that it remind of that scene from the movie , but it has a spirit of it own also.

It does remind me of LOTR. (I mean that in a good way)

I didn't think of LOTR when I saw it, actually.

Why does the picture look weird?

I need a better camera...

Lovely captain Mr. Baxter.

So much creativity going on here, great work everyone.

Here's my best conversion so far as it is my first completed.

that thing is really good.
