My Dark Eldar Venom.

Cobbled Together from 3 Reaver Jetbikes, 2 Aethersails, 1 Keel Blade and One Agonizer.

that venom conversion is really nice looking, BUT, how exactly does it transport 5 other models?

Well, i've worked on it since, and i've managed to model 2 Warriors hanging onto the Sails at the side. One with a Splinter Rifle shooting, and the other with his knife out.



And, How does a Rhino Transport fit 10 Space Marines into it???

Wow, ninja'd on that one. And I thought I was making a joke...hahahaha

It Looks nice though !


However... It is meant to be for my Haemonculus and Wracks

Here are 3 of my favorite conversions.


Warphead




Cyborks w/ barrel rockets (kombi rokkit)



Boss on Bike

And, How does a Rhino Transport fit 10 Space Marines into it???

True, but don't get me wrong, I'm not busting on the model itself, Like I said it looks great. However, with a rhino there is at least an idea of where the transport compartment is, same with a Wave Serpent. There is no way that a Wave Serpent is going to transport 5 Wraithguard and a Warlock, but the idea is there. The only thing that came to mind for transport on your Venom was the guys holding onto the sail spar and laying flat on the sail.

AT any rate, it doesn't matter, it's a great looking conversion, clean lines and everything fits together nicely. Good thing it's an Anti-grav vehicle though cause if that keel blade ever dug into the ground the driver is going to find himself flying without the use of mechanical means into the first hard object that stands in the way.

Those Orks are nice looking, the one in the middle reminds me of the necro-scanners from Chronicles of Riddick. I really like the Weirdboy, it's like Dr. Octopus gone crazy instead of just slightly over the edge, and the glyph mask in front of his face is a really nice touch. That warboss on the other hand, is gonna be pissed at his mekboy when the rear tire works it's way off of the axle, other than that it looks great as well, nice use of the wrecking ball chain, I saw someone else do the same and I liked it and plan to do that as well.

Edit: finally got pics up of my reworked trukk, let me know what you think:

old version tractor pull trukk


revised version tractor pull trukk:





I'm in the process of building a Hay Wagon that this thing will pull around and carry the boyz in. I'm also thinking of modding up a grot with an evil(er) grin about ready to pull the pin that connects the wagon to the tractor.

Dont know about you guys but I think its pretty decent sorry its pretty small

Very nice!
Is that guitar wire?

Here is one I made for the Adepticon a few years ago. Lets see if you can name the parts I used...

Converted by me, painted by a friend.
Chopped apart the legs much more than I thought necessary to sit astride the wolf, readjusted the arm to hold the axe, made the axe out of two axes, made the banner out of some various wolfy bits, turned Logan's cloak into..I dunno, whatever you'd call a cloak that starts at your waist, and added the reins. Oh, and put a plasma pistol on his other hip.
Not a ton of conversion, but it's something.

Is that dude sporting muttonchops and braids? Groovy.

And I absolutely love the Wart'ogg.

Lets see if you can name the parts I used...

ok, i accept, so lets see how well i can do.


so tell me, how'd i do? since there are seven different areas, i expect that the best total score is 7 out of 7. It'd be nice if I got that high but i doubt it, fairly sure my score is around 5 out 7 though.

Nice Thunderwolf, very dynamic. Where did you get the wolf from?

Spoiler:

going clockwise starting at 1:00: the tusks are from an ogre kingdoms gut plate, ogre tyrant i believe. the Ork battlewagon is a recent release so process of elimination leaves the ogre kingdoms. next up are Tau tank engines/anti grav thrusters/whatever they call them, but they are Tau. Then there's the Ork glyph, this is one that i'm iffy on as i have no idea, there's so much Ork stuff out there that i haven't seen yet. the next bitz i'd hazard a guess as being Stormboyz rokkit packs. the next one just looks like electrical wiring unless there's more to the pic that i'm not noticing. However, i most definitely recognize and Eldar Shuriken cannon when i see one, but it looks modified as the rear of the cannon is not a piece i recognize as being a part of the shuriken cannons. I have very rarely ever seen any of the old Rogue Trader stuff though, so i suppose it coulkd be one of those and i've just never saw it before now. and last but not least is a Tau burst cannon.

Ah, but I know for a fact that the tusks are from the Battlewagon kit.

I'm not going to win any awards, but this was my favourite conversion...

Hmmmm.... A definite change. I almost prefer the original . But not quite.

I feel like I would think of that as just pretty cool except for the fact that you had to destroy Jar Jar Binks to make it That makes it awesome.

This is my best conversion to date. I convert a lot for various Necromunda/=I=Munda projects and my Rogue Trader army. But this here techpriest is still my favourite.

Wish I had given him an axe tho'...

Thanks and yea it is.

Sure is. That's how they rock it on Fenris.

Really nice model. I have been looking through this blog of yours: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/286459.page
And I wish you'd revive it with more cool stuff. I don't want to necro it, so, just saying it here, nice stuff!.

lessthan1337 wrote:Is that guitar wire?

Guitar string. They are called guitar strings. As a guitar player and life-long musician of all manner of strings-classed instruments (orchestral and other), this is a bit of a pet peeve. Not a big deal, no, but it's just a tad irksome. heh-heh

The fuselage looks like it's from an ME-262. it's a really awesomelooking model! But I think you should try and put a pilot in there.

But is it not made of wire, and not string?
Or do you string yours with string instead of wire?

Pilot?
But they'er Orks?

Ah, but I know for a fact that the tusks are from the Battlewagon kit.

was there a battlewagon kit that i don't know about? the only one i know of is the plastic one that can be bought now, and if that's the only battlewagon released then based on his statement of "a few years ago", then the tusks couldn't have come from that kit. Hence my reasoning for naming them as coming from the ogre kingdoms kit, but as i said there could be be a battlewagon kit that i don't know about.

I don't know which is more horrifying, Jar Jar Binks, or Jar Jar as a priest of Nurgle.
the Space wolf dude looks nice, not to sure about the braids, but that's just me.
Techpriest looks great.

The 199os battlewagon? The one where the rules indicated you could transport as many orks as you could physically balance on the thing?

not my best, but my only conversion so far. A lot of terminator bitz from space wolves and chaos, some greenstuff for the hair and the shoulder for positioning the bolter arm, and some "what-colour-is-that" stuff for the crux terminatus in the shoulder

I give you... my rune priest

hope you like it

(don't mind the coin)
