Sorry can't disclose.....infiltrating

Holy cthulhu face Batman! I like the flyrant conversion, I wouldn't have a problem with the warrior conversions, but I don't particulary notice the conversion work on the thrope?

There are no problems with any of them. The Warrior/Hive Guard are identifiable, the Flyrant is badass, and since Doom doesn't have a model, yours is easily distinguished from a standard Zoey.

You are quite good.

They are all legit as they are unique /distinct enough to not be confused with something else.

Your conversions are only legal for Tournament play if allowed by that tournaments TO.

This is true, however nothing about your conversions looks like it would cause any issues with the TO.

Your conversions look fine to me as well-- but the only way to be sure is to ask your TO.

Any TO that has problems with these conversions is not running a tournament worthy of your time. Your models are legitly awsome

Indeed, your conversions aren't giving MFA so I wouldn't foresee a problem.

We cannot tell you, you must ask your TO for the final say, as a general rule though if your conversions can't be called as modeling for advantage, you should be fine.

Problems arise when people convert their hive tyrant to be crouching closer to the ground for easier cover saves.

They look great to me, but as others have suggested, it's really the Tournament Organizer's opinion that counts.

It's always a good idea to send a few pics to the TO in an email (in person is better where possible!) well in advance of the tournament so you can change anything if necessary.
