Very cool. Recognizably Tyranids but while GW seems to still be working out how to move away from Giger while somehow re-appropriating whatever StarCraft Zerg appropriated from earlier GW Tyranids, your conversions bring them back into a much bigger Sci Fi imaginary tradition. Looking forward to where you'll be going with these!

Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?"
GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"

Love him <3 The added gribble factor (tm) but also the sense of motion. I've always dug Tyranid warriors but damn are they super static minis - and always have been, from back in the bucktooth 2E days The dynamism is really welcome (goes for the genestealer's vaulting pose as well).

EDIT: Cute tail stripes as well

As ever, great mods McGibs. The colours work well to complement the tweaks too

I finished up my Land-Speeder conversion to add some zippy firepower to my Marines. Speeders are cool, but I've never been a fan of the exposed crews and went poking around the internet for some conversion inspiration. I came across this fantastic one modeled after the Diamonback from Starcraft II by fellow Dakkanought Flinty, and I basically just copied it whole hog. The little hover feet make it look a lot more agile than just the "flying shoe" silhouette.





This is probably the most involved plasticard build I've done, and required a lot of measuring out weird angles on the computer, printing out a template, and cutting it from there. The joins are a little squadgy in places, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Sleek. Good retro-futuristic vibes instead of the usual gothic.

I like your addition of the ridge running down the center, good silhouette. And you're 100% right about the feet, it makes it look so much more maneouverable.

Because GW did my poor Repulsor Executioner dirty, I decided to make a swap-out turret so I can also use it as a regular Repulsor.
I consolidated the weapons a bit into "bullets/ missiles/lasers", because frankly, no one can remember them all anyways.

Love the Librarian, super evocative. I'm also reminded of the Astartes animation with the hoses and mask and spooky orb of warp magicks

And props on another support robot, great concept for these lesser heroes. Delicious af floating tank as well!

Thanks guys!
The astartes psyker brought me great joy when I saw his simmilar mirrored black helmet. I wish I could somehow pull off some glowing-skull effect from inside the helmet. Maybe flip a switch when I fail a Perils of the Warp?

I got through my five man Blade(taser?)Guard squad. Obviously the blinged out stock versions weren't going to fit with my army's clean sci-fi theme, so I went for a pretty straightforward "breaching team" look instead. The shields are from the Necromunda Subjugator kit and worked out perfectly.

Big Daddy Dread ready for stompin!
The Redemptor kit is pretty great, I just replaced the sarcophagus with a Kharadron dome that happened to also perfectly fit one of the larger bombshell Mini's bubble helmets. Other minor changes were to swap out the teeny-tiny icarus rocket pod with something a little chunkier, and integrate the small gatling gun into the palm of the fist. Really happy with how this one came together!

Great eye on that dome (inside a dome) Superb fit, design and kitbash-wise. Rocket pod replacement is much appreciated, and the integrated baby minigun is a smart touch, nice nod to the contemptor guns-in-fists.

EDIT: Taser guard are of course legit as well. Even just the shield swap and lack of googas is a big enhancement over the standard.

That's an awesome Big Daddy dread! The dome eye makes it feel like some kind of huge weaponized surveillance apparatus, which makes it even a bit scarier ^^

This dreadnought was one of the first models I converted for my army, but I had him go through a bit of an upgrade. New gun, some backpack vents, and extended torso to make him contemptor sized (he used to be a chaplain dread)




And I also did up a unit of Servitors, which are the guys that win games of 9th edition. These were just some fun robots I had kicking around and wanted to paint forever. The Fallout Securitron and Brainbot are from Brother Vinni's minis (possible out of print now), and the two floaty bots are from Bombshell minis.

Now those tube arms are some proper Forbidden Planet stuff, great work.
