Your Daemon Prince looks awesome, the addition of chains and more khornate symbols are a must though, they'll make her more of a 'warrior queen' pulling her away from a more Slannesh feel.

I agree. See pics below.

Pleasure? Slaanesh? WITH KHORNE? Blashpemy, Khorne would never allow such a glorious abomination to be spawned!
In all respect though, that thing is freakin' awesome!

Thanks! I decided to have a female Daemon Prince due to the fact that my Chaos Lord is female as well. I assumed this would be her form once she ascended to Daemonhood.

Course he would, thats just Red Sonja in daemon form heh

Pretty much.

To be fair, as long as it spills blood he could probably care less. Take Valkia for instance... Slaanesh avidly tried to get at that, and Khorne still liked her most

Spoken like a true follower of the Blood God. I'll admit that this conversion was hugely influenced by Valkia the Bloody, but it was more from the artwork from the book by Sarah Cawkwell than the official model. The official Valkia model is good, but...lacking somehow. Also, I hate the pointy conehead. See the book artwork: THAT is how the model should have looked!

So I went and added chains and some Khorne icons. Feels more complete now.
Also as much as I wanted to have a huge pile o' skulls on the base, I feel like the model would have been too busy.
Something I learned while constructing this conversion; careful bending of plastic bitz is your friend. I bent the chains toward the direction I wanted and the Collar of Khorne is from a plastic juggernaught that I (painstakingly) bended into a smaller shape.

Wow! Wow!
*Yoda voice* Much skill with the Greenstuff, you have.
I love how crisp your sculpted details are! Incredible!
But I totally understand how you feel; I literally have not painted in YEARS, but my desk is filled with tons of conversions.

Wow, those are some amazing conversions with marvelous GS work! Great work, mate!

Definitely feeling your pain regarding the painting. You should really pick up painting again, though, since it would be a crying shame to leave these beauties unpainted for much longer

Anyway, heading right over to your thread to check out more of your work!

Krasses Ding!

Do you have a tutorial on how to create those awesome servo-arms on Fabius Bile's back?

I don't have a whole tutorial but i can give you a quick rundown on what i did. To make something like those you need different sized round polystyrol rods and for the tip i scratchbuild different attachments out of bits and plasticard. The main frame of those arms are made out of 3 sections with joints between them. The joints are just short rod pieces that i filed flat on two sides where the pieces are connected. For the 3 sections i used varying sized rods. On some sections i used even multiple sized glued together to create a piston like effect. To finish it off i used a similar technique rods - just one size smaller - of to create the additional arrangement of rods. Those are glued in different styles onto the 3 sections. Some directly onto and some with plasticard of different size between the sections and the added rods. Just for variation i also glued wires on one arm to represent cables and bent a thin wire around some rods to create a spring like application.

So they are 'just' made out of different sized rods i got from gale force nine. The only real tricky part is the size of the whole thing. It is very fiddley and you probably need tweezers to work with and sharp eyes. It will probably help to make a quick sketch of the arms layout before you start. I didn't do that and so i cut some rods to short and some of the joints needed several readustments.

And one additional warning. Those arms are not that strong and can snap apart if handled to rough. So i did magnetize the whole backpack to remove it for better storage or if i want to play with the model.

Even though I never got around to finish them, I still adore my Rebel grotz commander and Veteran Sergeant:





I should really put some work into finished them both

AG. I love that conversion, relatively subtle but changes the feel of the pose dramatically, really think it is great.

Danke!

Either my Scratchbuilt Heldrake conversion, the Hellworm ....



or my Word Bearers Heldrake conversion ... which is still WIP

@ OldSchoolTermie Nice work maybe the wrong word but great conversion's and scratch build, but is that a large turd he is poised on

My best conversion is so far my latest model - my Acolyte henchman with bolter and close combat weapon - 5 points...

Modeled up as a tech adept.

Pretty and nice paint work

Wow, guys, this thread is always worth a visit! Great job!

@ cyborgakadjmoose: I really like how you subtly "GW-ified" that Ultraforge model! Although the balance in this thread will have to be tipped back in the direction of Khorne, of course

I am rather fond of this guy at the moment, my converted World Eaters Heldrake. I am calling it the "Hellrazor":







The conversion was inspired by a model done by Marshalfaust over on Warseer. More pictures in my World Eaters thread, in case anyone is interested

Much better than the Heldrake imo. Is that the head from the Maulerfiend?

Cheers, mate! Yes, it's one of the heads from the fiend kit. I added the faceplate of a WFB Necrosphinx to the mouth cavity, though, to add a regular "face" to the model.

Many, many kits (8 I think) went into this guy. By far my most aspirational conversion:
You can watch his progress HERE.


And almost done painted:

Awesome tech adept. And the fantasy model fits nicely into the mechanic style.



And here is another one of mine. The body itself is kinda simple but i really like how the mutated noise weapon turned out.

What is on the model's leg?

Those are 1mm pearls glued into drilled holes. I think once painted they'll be good armor studs.

I think they would be even better as eyes

I used some of them as eyes on my possessed sculpts. You can see 1 from the 3 i used.

My custom HQ and his "Utensil" Runt.





Also, I had an extra Space Marine lying around, so I thought WHY NOT?

That ork is hilarious great job and the grot cheese board holder is Amazing, this is why I love Orks you can do anything with them and it works.

I was hoping you had a thread

I guess this heretek would be mine...

Thanks. And sorry, there is no thread

Maybe in the future, though

And just for anyone curious, the chef counts as a 78 points Warboss with 'eavy armour, a big choppa, a slugga (this might sound weird, but look at his butcher's knife and think of a tomahawk), a bosspole, stikkbombs, and the Ammo Runt.

@ Excessus: That Heretk is simply fantastic and instantly makes me want to copy it! Marvelous work!

I don't think I ever posted my Land Speeder Storm conversion:

This is very simple in comparison to some of the amazing conversions in this thread, but here is my lightning claw, burning brand slaanesh chaos lord on either a steed of slaanesh or bike.

Why buy a screamer or a disk when you can make one in ten minutes out of hot glue and rhino bits?

oh that fabious counts as is the shets
