Since I only have one marine army and its new, the marine conversions are far and few inbetween. But here is what I've got so far.

AOBR Captain converted to Wolf Lord on foot. Sculpted hair his hair and cloak. Cut away the bolter for a bolt pistol.

AOBR Terminator sargent converted to Arjac Rockfist.

Uh son not to bad for the AOBR guys

I have been looking at the WIP of this, and I have to say, it looks awesome!

**nirvana69**

Nice. looks like a chaos chain sword

**Gitsplitta**

Very good. The story behind this piece is that he was a liaison from the Mantis Warriors to the Astral Claws during the Badab War. From this contact with a (secretly) tainted chapter, he too became tainted. When the Mantis Warriors surrendered at the end of the rebellion, Benedictus fled with the Astral Claws and is now effectively a Red Corsair. So when I did the conversion, I integrated little chaos bits into it to suggest that he had begun to replace his worn out MW equipment with what was at hand... chaos stuff.

**nirvana69**

Oh haha, that would explain the sword, tusks, heretic symbol and leg spikes

**Cing C0br**

This is some awesome stuff, but the Sabre Legion marines are amazing.

**EmperorsChampion**

Here are a few of my conversions, I couldn't pick just one, so I picked three!

**nirvana69**

whoaa... are you the one who did the tuttorial on lighting weapon painting?

and how did you make the temple on the back of that stormlord?

Haha no, actually that was my first try at the lighting on the weapon, I have a better shot I think I can show you.

As far as the temple, it was not easy, and it was hard to cut into that expensive model. I didnt test fit or make any messurements, I just eyeballed it and hacked away and filled it down, threw down some plastic card and cleaned it up a bit and BAM a black templar storm lord for my apoc games.

That's the one I was going to post. Simple, but with heaps of personality.

**nirvana69**

As well you should be, those are fantastic conversions! Man that land raider is tremendous... reminds me of a modern military engineer's vehicle. Nothing beats a good dynamic pose in my book, and your "action" poses are excellent. Bravo!

**Cypher871**

Glad you like the tutorial and models...now all I have to do is paint the darned things.

**nirvana69**

Im in the process of finishing up some conversions, so i'll post pics soon.

This is the photo that inspired mine guy, everyone should have a comedy marine in their army.

**grob the immortal grot**

Heres my favourite marine (WIP) sorry for the bad paint my friend gave them to me with mould lines like 2 feet high. It involved cutting and repositioning the axe arm and getting the arm of the sergeant from AoBR. I also got the head and sttudded shoulder pad for the MkVI Corvus armor.
