I may redo this idea again with a little help from Kathie von Vhoorl's painting. I will take a little extra time to make the new one a little neater.

did you just spill awesome all over a base, and not tell us what its supposed to be? i'm pretty sure it's a plague marine, but whatever it is, it looks really awesome!

those legs...whowhatwhenwherewhyhow?!
I have a friend who wants to have loads of bionic legs.

Is 2 not enough for him?

nope. It's iron hands, so he wants lots.

Thank you for the compliment, but I have to come clean here. That's not a FW model, I just used the FW model for reference (I really liked the pose). The bike base is actually a Deffkopter, The front wheel is a bunch of green stuff and some leman russ tracks, back treads are more of the same and some tau pieces. The power claw is a big choppa at the end of the rotor mount for the deffkopta tied to his arm. The head (I think) is from fantasy orcs, the engine in the back is a broken clock motor I found. I think the front forks on the bike are from some huge tau gun. The rest is styrene sheet, a small mountain of green stuff, and a lot of time.

I wish I could take credit for those stones. I don't own any FW as of yet (can't justify it to myself at this point), but when I do, I promise to mangle it.

Here is a WIP shot from early in the process (From here it was probably another 3 months of gluing more stuff to it and finally painting it).

Now that's what I call awesome! Real orky method right there, especially with the deffkopta use. Just slapping a lot of random pieces together and making cool biker joe. Cool conversion, in that case

Actually, the fact that it's a good enough approximation of the FW design to fool the eye is even more impressive.

how did you do the base?

Its cork with GS for the tiles, with a bit of sculpting for Farsights logo

Attached you will find my best conversion. An Empire Giant. His brother, with a greatsword, is finished and is actually better as he involves some massive body position changes.

I disagree, the CCW he used is my favorite

thanks! It's a WIP, and a FW rhino dozer blade (like the vindicator one, but no hole) will be added, and an assault ramp will be protruding through it!

Nice I want 1 for my blood ravens!

I like the seige DCCW- I have one myself, but I don't like it on the chaplain.

Sounds good. I like the ironclad dread with hammer and hurricane bolters, but if there were any blood raven dread I would have liked that one better prob
It's a nice conversion project i think, cuz you could make a librarian dread for blood ravens

Woah! That dude looks friggin awsome! like his shoes btw

yeah, I just couldn't get rid of them...aw...
BTW it only took about 4hrs to build, spray and paint. Not bad, eh?
what about my chapter master?

the camera doesn't give it justice- It looks half-painted in that light...

I like it alot. The 2 tower looking things on his jetpack... what are they based on? I am planning to give my chaptermaster a similar thing. 2 ravens sitting on the vents, or what you call em.

Here's a first concept on my Blood Ravens chaptermaster, to give you the picture:

THis thread is a god-send.

Here are two photos of my best non-ork conversions that I have a photos of. Too hard for me to decide the best one. If you want to see some more detailed photos or some of my ork creations head over to Felmid's Forge I am uploading new stuff all the time.
