And here he is bombing some Orks at the FLGS!

MAULERFIEND!

Didn't do a heck of a whole lot to alter this model. It's fantastic as is! Just a few minor conversions to make him fit into the medieval theme. Namely, the running pose. I never have liked the stock pose... too static. After all, these guys are supposed to run headlong, full-speed into the enemy! Also made some alterations to the head, arms, and tail to make him resemble my Chaos Spawn. He's a gigantic, armored wolf to accompany my Juggerlord's fast Spawn unit.

That looks pretty damn good my friend ! Really like the pose you got, I've not seen it done like that before , nice one !

Thanks, Big H!

Some shots of the Wild Crusade in action!

Perhaps the best direct (and perhaps over the top) fit into the medieval theme.... Presenting: The Horsemen!

These guys are my counts-as Chaos Bikers. Can't take credit for the conversion idea, though. There are a lot of these guys floating around the internet. The basic idea is to combine some bits from the CSM Marine kit with the WFB Chaos Knights. Of course, I added my own nurgle flair to them. Looking back, the gas masks weren't sculpted very well but... eh.

These guys are always a blast and usually run up the board fast with THE HUNTSMAN AND HIS WILD PACK.

Another:

And another:

...and another!

Last but not least, the Aspiring Champion. He usually takes a power sword, which helps cut through stuff in close combat. There's almost always a Chaos Lord or Sorcerer in the unit that brings a Power Fist, so I run the champ pretty cheap.

That is utterly excellent

Here's the Chaos Sorceror on a Bike who accompanies the Nurgle biker pack. He's armed with a Power Axe and bolt pistol. Tried to go over-the-top on the other magic stuff to show he's a spell-slinger.... Giant glowing staff, enchanted skulls, flowing cape and ribbons, enchanted spell book, magic talking daemon sheild, etc. etc. He was a LOT of fun to build.

WOW !!!! Truly cool stuff great conversions the Heldrake has to be my favourite though especially the victim reaching out from beneath the plague flame.

Love the oblits as well normally not much of a fan of those but yours actually have me in awe

Great stuff and there should be so many more people checking this thread out keep it coming

Thanks, Dirty Dog! I guess I'm just not that popular... oh well! Here's a few bonus shots just for you:

Awesome marines on horse back what a combo great stuff indeed, and entrails just finish things of nicely

Here come the Rhinos! I struggled with Rhino conversion ideas for a long time. There's a lot of great inspiration on the web but, ultimately, I really wanted something that immediately shouts "MEDIEVAL BAD GUYS!" Rhinos themselves are extremely boxy, bulky things. Figured "why not make them into castle/chapel thingies?" so here we are.

On the Wild Crusade, we take the church directly to you! Any non-converts are gathered up and, well... you can see them right there on the front. (Which also makes for a nice Dirge Caster visualization.)

....AND ANOTHER ONE!

Here you can see one of the loyal crusaders gathering up some unsuccessful converts. We're not really into Khorne here but, hey, blood for the blood god!

And the two together.

Those rhinos are absolutely awesome! Love the long spear guy too. A wacky concept really well executed makes the army look better and better everytime I pop in.

Thanks, Edreynaline! It was a little nerve-racking to glue the WFB tombs to the Rhinos... didn't quite look right for a long time. But it turned out pretty good in the end, I think. Just took FOREVER to paint!

I can imagine it was pretty scary! but it worked out well in the end! and that is what this hobby is all about for me anyways. taking a chance and seeing what it turns out like.

Whoops... there doesn't seem to be anything here.

Ha crazy I can see the concern however it pulls together well the rhino sort of fits the look due to its boxy shape, but the dead at the front really finishes it of nicely


I had an idea similar to this using the new sisters from the R@H kickstarter, I was going to do a mobile church on the back of a truck using the WFB tombs as a basis kind of an Apoc Nuns gang cleansing the out world of sinners and demons.

Glad to see this concept in action and looks great, thanks I think I have found my motivation

Thanks, guys!

Dirty Dog, you've got to do it now that you've talked about it! I'll hold you accountable. My only recommendation is to pick up the 40k Basilica (or ebay it) for the railings. the WFB tombs are very tall compared to the height of the rhino itself... You can tone that difference down a bit with the front basilica spikes. Just my two cents.

Get to it!

This is some jaw dropping work man, keep it up!

It will be done but I need to find an appropriate truck as it is PA not 40k, however I am going to use the Basilica parts to form part of the church section.

The miniatures won't be released till 2016 unfortunately and that will probably be full of delays but I can make a start on the transportation at least especially with this to guid my creativity


If I break out in boils and puss I know who to blame then

You have some great work, yourself. I'd love to see what you would come up with.

That is certainly a lot of corpses on those tanks.

Bloody hell that got abbreviated I am seriously looking for a vehicle that fits the scale and has a good base for it to work and look effective.

I am considering either an old military truck or converted school bus, what is it with nuns and buses all though I am leaning towards the truck as it would have a better support base and area to add the church to.

Maybe I could do both and make the bus an attack vehicle, damn now look what you have done this is going to be a nightmare

You say that like corpses AREN'T the best decoration for rhinos.... Hmmm. The Wild Crusade will have to pay your FLGS a visit.
