My personal favorite so far of what I've converted:



Was trying to make a marine captain with a more tactical kind of look compared to what they usually look like. I'm gonna run him as my scout company captain in my scout list.

That guy has more grenades and ammo pouches that both my 5k SM and 2k GK armies put together. Exactly 2 more grenades and 5 more pouches

With that amount of pouches, I'm tempted to dub him Captain Liefeld.

You'd need to glue some rocks on the base to hide his feet

Actually, I am fairly impressed with this, it just works, it realistically shows what he is equipped with, and with pouches to hold his extra ammo...well done sir
btw, what sprue is his head from?

I really like that captain, well done gaovinni! Especially liking the gun!
@jordanis: I believe it comes from the Catachan Command Squad sprue..... yeah, pretty sure...

His head feels weird to me, no idea why.

Conversion's pretty awesome, however... a GL launcher attached to an automatic rocket launcher?

I know why, it seems 'small', i.e. it the marine doesn't seem to be in GW's Heroic Scale, it almost seems have normal proportions

Let's add my newest project (paint still wip but the conversion is complete at this point):

I do like your take on it. Nice work.

Catachan command squad has that head (as was already pointed out). And the point was for him to be realistically able to carry all his equipment

Auxiliary Grenade Launcher, it's a valid upgrade option and should therefore be represented for WYSIWYG.

They fire different ammo and the AGL can be fired in addition to the bolter.

I like the conversion, a lot.

That Captain is awesome! I shudder at the cost of doing a whole army that way, and he must be a nightmare to paint, but the conversion's still excellent

Exactly. I thought that an Auxiliary grenade launcher would be a nice addition to a bolter that fires hellfire rounds...

Hmm... so is no-one making conversions any more? Come on guys, get posting!

Yeah, I've also been wondering why this thread has gone silent.... We demand conversions! lol

Ask and you shall recieve

I will share my favourites, its a throw up between my Dark Eldar Archon and my Necromunda Redemptionists.

The paint work on the Archon has been cleaned up and I have added flock and a Corvus SM helmet to his base. Just needed him finished to showcase in a quick 500 point skirmish.

Not finished, but I thought I post it anyway:

It's a mish mass part old metal warboss, part plastic chaos terminator, part hive tyrant for the power claw. Lots and lots of epoxy putty, and more to go. Gave him a beret to make him look more taktikal lol, and a big cigar because all great generals smoke big cigars.
Power claw was made from 3 scything talons, some plastic rod, and putty. The arm is a old choppa arm cut off at the wrist.

Torso was widened, and the height was increased between the torso, and legs. Gave him some custom squig stompin' boots, and a exhaust stack out the back. I've also got a small squig I plan on mounting on top of the torso, chained to the exhaust as his attack squig.

Basically it's supposed to be a over the top blood axes warboss in mega armor.
Here's a shot of one of the Meganobz with him. Mad Doc sayz legz is obsolete gotz ta have treads to krump heads!

Dude, that is awesome!

More pics please! (wait, I'll just check out your blog....)

I just got into the whole converting and kit bashing, its loads of fun. Here my Chaos HQ, made out of Abaddon the Despoiler and bits from the CSM possessed squad. I was inspired by the HH book The First Heretic , its suppose to be Argel Tan. Its not finished yet, the wings need work and I have to decide how to 'arm' it. ...>..>....

Words fail me !

That is truely awesome, can not wait to see it finished.

I'm going to second Nexus and Merlin

That is one choppy beast about to get a very rude surprise!

I'm sure someone's done this before, but I built Trueborn from spare special weapons and the passengers in the Raider and Ravager kits:

This one's got a custom cape made from green stuff.


Wych weapon, Archon flag, blast pistol.


This guy had a cape, but it broke, sadly. :(

Damn this is a nice thread! Any Iron Hand conversions?

This was done for me by a friend. It is however the best conversion in my collection.
