not sure this qualifies as a conversion since it's more of a scratchbuild but here goes:


this is my favorite but again it's more scratchbuild than conversion:


and another pic showing all the neatness that it does:


converted NightSpinner:


converted Farseers:





converted harlequin Venom:


converted jetbike(used as an autarch):


this is arguably my BEST conversion piece:

HA! Those look great! Especially the Ork vehicles. Gotta love that school bus.

LOVE the bus!

have a load of grots sat in it, with a runtherd driving...
maybe with caps and/or backpacks...
or if it's finished, how about modelling grots so they can sit in it and be removed?
I love the idea, though...

The bus was a funny one.

Btw do children in the 41st M go to school on buses,or go to school as we know it?

On school buses, no, but to school in general, it depends on the planet. On Cadia, kids are taught to be soldiers from the time they could walk, and on Catachan, they're just trying to survive, and on most other planets they will most likely not get a formal education unless their parents are high-ranking aristocrats

Here is my most recent (still WIP obviously).
This was my first attempt at anything like this. To top it off, I don't have GS or have ever used it, so I just used some air dry clay (Maybe that wasn't a great Idea).
It was supposed to be a Dark angel Veteran. But the more I look at it, the more it looks like a Stalker from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series. I don't play really play marines anymore so it really didn't matter to me if it turned out good or not. Obviously, it needs to be repainted. I am much better at painting now than I was when I painted these.


He's been busy rummaging around the zone looking for artifacts.

Here I feel is my best, not really a conversion but a scratch build. I don't even play IG, I just though it would be fun to make one.


Don't use air dry clay. It is a pain to work with when it is so thin.

Yes the bus itself is finished with the construction process, just need to get it and its passengers painted up, and what color would we paint something like this that is still Orky?
...
..
.
why, Bad Moons of course, so yeah the bus will be black and yellow, and will have "Los Orkales County School Systems" down the side, and the passengers are as one of the above stated, a bunch of Night Goblin conversions all carrying looted bolt pistols and bolters, they've been done up so that they can ride in the bus and fire out of the windows. i came up with an idea for a second set of passengers that will take some serious trading, and thats a bunch of 'Blood Bowl Orks'.

Imagine the look on your opponents face when you roll this thing to a stop in front of his marine squad and deploy a bunch of orks in football helmets and jerseys, if he doesn't piss himself from laughing so hard then he has no sense of humor and is a lost cause.

and since the bus is a current fave, here's the gallery link where you can see more pics of the bus, along with closeups of the different things it does, take note that in the shots where you can see the two orks in the turrest that the turrets keep facing different directions, this was done to show that they actually do turn 360 degrees.

and thanks for the compliments.

Here's my priest

Dude, that's not a priest, it's a vampire in terminator armor.

Here's my converted farseer. I've changed the basing since this was taken and I'm pondering doing some more work on the purple on his surcoat.

The flash on my camera isn't helping, either.

Nice!






what is it?

I have been working on my World Eaters for quite some time. Most of the CSMs started out as regular Marines, and have been converted. My WIP thread is here, http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/338802.page if you're interested in seeing everything to date. Here are my current favorites:
CSM Havoc with Las Cannon, was originally just a vanilla heavy weapons marine.


and a converted Obliterator. Originally an old metal Chaos Terinator. I particularly like how the Plasma Cannon turned out.

I should be getting my new paints by mail in a week or so, then I need to get some paint on these guys and many more!

Beautiful work Ravenous D... I'm curious as to what role it plays in the army.

I believe Ravenous' model is a Venom, right? It looks great.

@ Ravenous D: SWEET!

I believe Ravenous' model is a Venom

I'd have to say the same thing, A venom, and one of the BEST looking venom's i have seen bar none, including even mine.

Really nice venom.

I'd consider doing that conversion if it wasn't so damned expensive (Raider kit + Vyper kit for a 55 pt vehicle? Ouch)

Coolest sm dreadnought and lord of tzeentch, i've ever seen. Great work

Hmmm inverted leman?

Merc gang?

or maybe my exodite jetseer


cant rly decide between these D;

or maybe my exodite jetseer

Nice looking Seer, great job with the greenstuff.

I like the exodite best... but they're all great work.

Check my Ork Mega Dread!! They guy from Irondog Studios converted it for me!!

He is going to send it out to me once paypal gets the money in so I can pay him.

Nize conwershunn!

The Baron's most ambitious project codenamed "Turf Wars" between three unusually familiar Daemon Princes.

Prince One: This beast is almost 90% green Stuff.

I love the looted school bus and the megadreds! Nice!


Here is one of my favorites that I have made recently:

That's quite possibly the best interpretation of that character I've ever seen... Bravo man!

Awesome Ork stuff.

I love the looted school bus and the megadreds! Nice!

thanks for the compliment, brahim, but i'd have to say you outdid me with that Wazzdakka model. that is a serious piece of work there
paintjob 10/10, coolness 12/10, bravo.

Thanks man! I really tried hard on that one. Man it was expensive. You wouldn't believe the kits I went through to make it. I guess I need to put him up in the gallery and see if anyone else likes him too!

Send me a PM when you finish that bus. I teach a special needs class, so a looted School bus is kind of appealing to me in a weird sort of way!

@Gitsplitta: Thanks! Wazdakka is the man isn't he?

I really do like the Grabbin klaw on that Mega Dread
