Which Primarch do you think would be the hardest to convert? If anyone has converted Primarchs, which one was the hardest?
Discuss!

Not sure if this is the right section for this bud! (probably the two unknown ones! )

I did a mortarion a while back. Based off a small darth vader action figure ha ha. Lot of greenstuff work, some bitz, it was pretty hard but he came together pretty well.

depends on what you think is hard i guess... there are some primarchs with just huge power armor and mad details on those but there are also primarchs with weirdass mutations and stuff... like i cant sculpt wings or make them "in place" on power armor so sang would be the hardest for me

Several years ago I did all of the Primarchs (including 2 unknown ones which I made up) and for a few I ended up doing more than one version - before and after chaos.

The one which was the biggest PITA for me was Fulgrim in Demon Prince form. 4 arms, wings and a snake body in place of legs. I think I had 4 or 5 false starts before I even got the anatomy to look right. After the anatomy - trying to get armor to fit around all the bits was another pain.

Curze could be hard. You'll need a guy in heavy armour, with dual lightning claws, a jump pack, a cape, a head with long hair, and some NL iconography. He'd also be hard because theres no official artwork for him.

Fair point.

I was thinking along similar lines with Corax, little artwork, he needs Primarch Whip and Lightning Claw as well as a jock off Jump Pack. I also expect will be one one of the hardest to get the correct expression.

I had a hard time converting my primarch Sanguinius.
Was worth it though. ^^

I rarely see Vulkan models, and when I do they are mostly terrible. I think people take the dragon motif too far or implement it poorly.

I agree i have yet to see a good Vulkan and this is a shame because Salamanders are my true love. I have to little talent with green stuff to do any worth while converting so i guess i cant complain.

Awesome Sanguinius model, the Nightbringer model finally has a use in 6th ed!

To do justice to a primarch i always struggled to build a rogal dorn model......bigger lysander was always what I was brought back too
