We in the business call that model "Freakin' Sweet." What did you use to make it?

Thx guy!
I used the Chaos Sorcerer Lord as base model and part of the Empire General box (Seraphim, Handgunparts, some swords), Empire State Handgunners, a servoskull from the Space Marine Devastator Squad as head, some purity seals and stuff from the Gray Knight boxes and some Bolterparts.

I will totally be stealing the idea of using the Baal turret if I build a new LRC. I won't be stealing the skullz, but they work quite well on a Dark Angels vehicle. Definitely a very nice "Ossuary-Cathedral" look to it.

Or maybe this:


Though that might be the paint job.

Not my absolute best, but that would take a long time to decide (as in, I would have to start over because the candidates doubled kind of long time).

Sometimes I think that some of the neatest little conversions are not on particularly spectacular figures... take a look at some of dakka's best builders (as opposed to painters) and you can see a myriad of subtle little changes and modifications to regular old figures that will just become one of many. These folks have certainly inspired me to improve my modeling and look at the build of each figure as a chance to do something new. To make that figure one-of-a-kind.

To wit, I present one beakie sternguard (well, two actually, but it's the unprimed guy I'm going to focus on). To get a beakie into this pose, every single limb has to be deconstructed to some degree, then re-assembled (some Green Stuffed, some not). The effect however, is a marine raising his gun to fire in a more natural fashion that could be done with the stock models, even though it uses the stock parts. In any case, imperfect as my execution may be, I think it represents a much more interesting and believable pose for a marine, especially a sternguard. (Oh, ignore that sloppy GS work, that got cleaned up before priming.)
