love that dragon fly... that jet for the heli is made up from marker caps? cool idea!

They sure are, here it is before the spray can said hello to it

I'd like to submit my humble conversions. I received about a platoon of ig in this black and white scheme from a trade a while back, and I ended up trading most away, except for the few guys missing arms and heads. I said to myself, why don't I fix em up and convert them. So here is a random squad of misfit ig (the chainsword bayonets were his idea, however)





I didn't spend much time adding details as you can see. I'm just glad I had loads of excess tau heads and chaos marauder arms from some of my failed attempts at making an army long ago

at ribon fox, that is a very fine scratchbuilt, i think i have to remeber this when i make air cav on my own...how did you do the canopy glass?

The glass is a see threw chrismass ball ball

(spelling?), i got a pack of six of the things, sadly only two were clear, I cracked the first one trying to cut it with a micro saw, so used a soldering iron to heat cut it as the stuff is so thin

nice idea with the christmas ball...for a moment i thought this was from a bigger plastic bottle... hmm heat cutting... this at least i am million miles away from talent and hardeware wise^^ too bad the first one broke in... would have been nice to see more of these count as valks like in a scene form apocalypse now flying over the seaside...raining death over heretics^^

I honestly can't remember if I have posted these guys in here before or not, but hey

better late than never^^ these heads are ace! nice WWI feel to the masks!

Here are some of my Elysian. Not painting the army atm as I have way to much to do.
But during summer I hope I can paint more of them.

Not much of conversion here really, except for my own version of Sergeant Harker for the Elysians.
Oh bare in mind that the bases are not done yet. I was waiting for my grass tufts to arrive.

First Unit up is a Veteran Squad with a mix of weapons. Plasaguns, missile launcher, and harker.


Close up on Harker


And finally my Elysian Storm troopers, made from Lascutter team.

The sergeants sword for some reason turned out really rusty on the picture... irl it is not

^Very nice!

Where did you get the metal cable from ? Great work, btw. you ever cast them?

The metal cable is guitar string - I believe it is 32ga. And I have done press mounding of them to build up 2 or 3 squads. However, I have decided to sell my IG so there will only ever be 2 squads of these guys

I would have cast them if I was doing an entire army though.

Here's a few of mine:

heres a shot of my still very wip goblin guard, need to get some of the more finished versions painted up soon

All these weathered tanks are starting to make me relook and rethink all my shiny fresh off the factory ones!!!

Those tanks look sweet! I love the hyra, looks just like the British special forces in the desert during WW2!

There are some fantastic conversions and ideas in this thread it looks like Dakka has an abundance of very clever modelers and painters with both a very healthy conceptual imagination and painting skills to match, well done everybody!

Nerdfest09

My Mech Guard. The Necro 8th. Did these guys up about a year ago.
Simple Pig Iron Head Swap. And shaven down Cadian shoulderpads and cargo pant pockets for that clean WW2 simple drab look.









p.s ignore te confused bases colors, I was still in the midst of deciding when I took the pics!

And some of my other older Guard models.

Veteran Cadian Squad. Very simple head swap with some previous edition Empire state troops and a cut down space marine backpack

Catachan Rough Riders using the old Ork Bikes.

Master of Ordinance

just curious Rabid but what size base is that chap on?
cheers

like the idea of your shaven down cargo pant pockets, the pants look very good that way... will try that out myself...

good job Beef Nuggets !

Just awesome looking models here! the guard look really dirty and gritty and the colours works just so well together! very inspirational!

I...I can't compete with the stuff in this thread !

Have a few:

My first of many Praetorians....

And some of my Sharpe inspired Napoleonics......
