I actually had a different head on him originally (a helmeted one), the friend for whom I made him decided to change it out.

I give you... my rune priest

hope you like it

That is one sweet rune priest. I was not looking too well in the earlier stages of the build, but the final outcome is just great!!!

Why a TH on your rune priest though?

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.

Techpriest looks great.

They come with the Deff Rolla Add-on Sprue.....That is the place where I saw those tusks but I totally see where your original answer came from!

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

IMO I think the sycthe is a better fit, but that is just me!

I made this for my nephew. He makes a fun assault marine sergeant.

"To Infinite and BEYOND"

Great conversion, I'm sure your nephew must love it.

**DAWARBOSS**

How come people keep posting, not my best model but my most recent or not my best but my favorite. After all this topic is about your best model, nothing else. Anyway, excellent models, my smallest brother wants me to make a buzz model for him!

They're fighting The Man! Down with the establishment and your on-topic posting, you fascist!

**Cutthroatcure**

They are proud and want to share their work!

**Fix**

Here's my fave.

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Well, these are my two... The Dreadnought is a Venerable originally, and the Landraider at this point is half covered in the shell of a DVD player.
Both are for my Iron Warriors army. I will post updated pics when they are finished.

**Grass4hopper**

Your dread doesn't have enough spikes

I like how you filed down the fingertips on CCW to points. I adds to the viciousness of the model.

**JoeyHeadwounds**

@Grass4hopper- I know I could have added more spikes to him, but I didn't want to go overkill on the spikes. As it is, there are two per arm, and six on top of the sarcophagus itself. Or was that sarcasm?

**Grass4hopper**

I was just joking, the dread looks perfect just the way you have it, I'll look great painted up in Iron Warrior colors.

It's just a "runic weapon". In the codex says that the rune priest weapon often its a staff or an axe, and I think "why not hammer". Besides... it was the only bit I have in that moment... but i'm planning on doing some changes to it, so it looks more like a staff.

**Matrim**

My Techmarine.

Thinking of repainting him - what scheme chaps?

**Breotan**

My "counts as" Shrike, painted by Justin Little.

**Disjointed Entity**

That's brilliant! Where did you get the Beak from?

**ghosty**

Guessing it's the commander backpack, y'know, the one with the eagle heads for vents.

**PDH**

Buzz is awesomely cool....such a fun idea and very nicely put together and painted

Ive also decided this is my favourite conversion as the moment

Wint and Our Kidd from my scavvy gang

edit as it did not make sense

**MrJakkadakka**

My best conversion to date has to be my Waaaghwagon (from my blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/362005.page )

It's still a WIP though:

**walker90234**

you need to do something with those wheels, I'm guessing they still rotate? and they have rubber tyres, not a feature in warhammer. try using different wheels, from the trukk's possibly, but I can see where you would have difficulty seeing as the wheels are som massive. BTW, you're screwed if you want to use this at your FLGW, they dont like home made stuff. I learnt that first hand.

**MrJakkadakka**

@Walker90234 Not one compliment in that entire comment. Cheers.

They're rubber, they move... they're getting painted up though.

Use different wheels.... from a trukk? Dude, this thing dwarfs a trukk. The only wheels that fit this thing are the ones that I'm using.

I don't intend on using it at a Games Workshop store... it's more of a show piece.

walker90234 wrote:and they have rubber tyres, not a feature in warhammer. try using different wheels

Although I assume they're probably some high-tech 'super rubber of the 41st millennium', Space Marine bikes and Ork Warbuggies (to name but two) have rubber tyres and I've always assumed the Trukk wheels to be rubber but with metal plating attached.

Unless you mean that the model itself has rubber tyres, in which case I can't really see the problem, I've used rubber tyres in conversions before and had no problem with them. I would suggest stopping the wheels from spinning though, just for when it gets placed on less than perfectly flat terrain so it doesn't roll back down.

**walker90234**

@ MrJakkaDakka
lol, soz about that, it is a really awesome conversion, i was just trying to give you some tips, you dont have to get all defensive, lol.
yeah, if its not gonna b used in GW then neither the tyre thing, nor the "not GW parts" matters. but DEFINITLEY glue the axels so that they dont turn, as the guy above said.

**MrJakkadakka**

@walker90234 No worries man. Sorry for snappin'.
Yeah, it's way to big to use in a real battle to be honest... I just made it for the giggles.
