It's not like you're loading new pictures every time someone quotes the post. It's the same image stored in your cache, displayed again.

It doesn't make it any less of a ballache scrolling past them every time.

Yup, it's annoying, especially on a portable device, to scroll past several large pictures for the 4th time just to read "wow, bro!" at the end. As for the cache issue, that's dependant on your browser and device and how often you check the site; mine reloads every time I load the browser. Either way, it's a simple courtesy that can easily be extended to fellow members so I don't see what the objection is...

**jasonxwoods**

Deff Dread with a custom base, and a space marine getting nicely chewed up.
This is the first model that I significantly changed from the original kit, i also built another whole Deff Dread from the spare parts and thats alright may post at some point.

Undercoated and basecoated will be painting in the next few months.

**jeremyj1234**

My Chapter Master of The Black Dragons/ counts as Vulcan He'Stan wip, and custom Techmarine (still making servo-harness)

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.)

Ahh this one makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

**antichrist22**

So, mine is either the daemon prince mech balrog i did back on page 118 or this chaos super heavy i am almost finished building - just a few more spikes and some track guards on the front end and then i paint

Everybody needs more dakka.

Packing some seriously angry heat! Are those dread knight guns?

Some of you may have seen it in my blog, and since pretty much everything I do is a conversion, it's was hard to choose, but I think my Khorne Slaughterfiend Defiler is the most characterful of the stuff I've done:

It's in the IA books, and it is pretty much a Defiler, ridden by a champion of Khorne, with the ability to carry a squad of berzerkers.

**antichrist22**

THAT SLAUGHTERFIEND IS

ING STUNNING!!!!! epic paintjob too!

**warboss**

Good job on the addition of the ogre kingdom bits for the defiler!

Completely agree, but he was complaining about bandwidth, not general ugliness.

I'm altering the complaint. Pray I don't alter it any further.

**Zeke 169**

Rasmus - awesome job on the Slaughterfiend! Great use of Fantasy with 40k components

**Me not Weedy**

A couple of my favorites:

Pulsa-Rokkit

Great Gargant

Agreed, I love seeing siege tanks with different lines than the Rhino chassis. This one has great lines. Is that based on a Tank Destroyer?

**Cutthroatcure**

So Much Plasticard on that Gargant, Amazing Work!

As for the Defiler, No amount of compliments will suffice in expressing the awe I have for that conversion!

**GuitaRasmus**

Thanks!

I just took a look at the guy who inspired me to start my Berzerker Warband after 15 years away from the hobby - he deserves an honourable mention as well. My Berzerker Dread, Ragnarok:

This thread is amazing. So many amazing models, and so much great inspiration. Keep it up everybody.

This is genius! Amazing paint job as well.

**Rockiroad278**

I've been seeing really bland GK techmarines being fielded, so I mad mine cooler. Also, heres my first attempt at an angry marine that was also my first attempt to strip paint off of.

**Phantom**

Nice techmarine Rock, the only thing I feel he is missing is a sensor over one of the lenses.

**EninOfChaos**

At the moment, these models at my best ones IMO: Eliphas & Araghast from Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising.

Araghast (this one is the only one, who got some minor conversions like the face on his trophy racks and his helmet is a converted helmet from MaxMini):

Eliphas:

Eliphas & Araghast next to each other.

**Praxiss**

Very nice! I liek how crisp and clean the detailing is.

i've not played DOW2. What warband/legion are they from?

**winterdyne**

Quite pleased with this:

Thanks, glad you like it.

It's a 1/35 ww2 Hetzer tank destroyer model I found on ebay for 11$

This is a great mini!! The only thing I can say about it, is there is so much detail all over...the backpack seems kind of bland. You should add something to it. Obviously, you have the skills!

Show it again when you paint it!

So many great convertions here! I can't belive I haven't been back here in a while!

This is my Khornate Female Commissar from several pages back, all painted up:

I did a bit of modification to her since the last post on here.

Thanks. I'm glad you like them.

The're from the Black Legion (if you've tried Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, you know that Eliphas originally was a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers, but in Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising, he has been resurrected as Black Legion Aspiring Champion).

**Evegoden**

This is my latest conversion....which was broken but has since been remade.

**Enigma Crisis**

Dude that Dark Eldar model is beast. I doubt my Custom R'myr holds any light to yours.
