Here is the burna-axe weapon at a closer look, I haven't painted a model in 3 years. I'm happy with how this weapon conversion turned out. What are your thoughts on it?

Oh cool. I was wondering if you'd done that- you just used a Choppa/Big Choppa head with the right 'back' on it and added the Burna bits on! That's a pretty cool idea. Might actually have to steal that myself.

And painting-wise- good job! Nice hazard striping, good clean lines. Better than I usually do.

Three of my best and favorites:


That one, I'm not sure what to use her gun as in-game, since Vanilla Space Marines can't use autocannons on their infantry.


This one's made from a ton of different kits. The gun mounted on his backpack is made from a stormbolter, part of a searchlight, part of a Space Wolves chainsword, ammo drums from some wrist-mounted boltguns, and the barrels are made from Scout Biker grenade launchers.



This one still doesn't have a head, because I ran out of wolf helms, didn't feel like paying 45 dollars for 2 from the Pack kit, and by the time I got around to deciding to buy some on eBay, no one had any for sale anymore.

Here is my first and best conversion fully painted and complete.

I really like this! Post up some pic's when you get them painted!

I'm not fond of the idea of Adeptus Anthro-startes (), but they're certainly well executed modelwise.

I have two favorites/best and i can't decide between them.

Tau Ethereal



Tau XV107-R'varna

Sexy tau usually make me cringe, but this one is quite nicely made. Color me impressed

Fantastic hair.

After playing 40k for what seems like forever (15 years or so, my first models I got when I was 5!) I've built up not only a ton of armies and models, but a lot of conversions too.

I don't own a good camera, so that'll explain the picture quality but anywho...

I can't decide, so you guys can for me. I've got a million conversions but here are some of my favorites.

Oops. Looks like some technical difficulties.. Stand by for reboot

I give up. Ignore this post I GOT IT Yayyy.

Honor Guard Squad and Chapter master:




Chaos Lord



Nork Deddog



Mordian Iron Guardsmen


Rough Riders (I've got lots)

Very nice conversions dude! would love to see more if you have any. I'm planning on building a samurai sm army in the future and seeing this fills me with inspiration (and more than a little jealousy )

I had one pair of unused terminator legs and I thought to myself: "Why not build a custom Typhus?"

This is the result. And yes, the only plastic bitz involved are two heads, the termi legs and the chopped up marine parts on the base. The rest is scratchbuild.

Are scratch builds allowed?
You may have seen it in the past but here is my bionik squiggoth.
Just about every single thing on the model has been built or sculpted from raw materials (crew excepted)

@ btldoomhammer: That Typhus is beautiful! Amazing work!

@ cadium: Whoa, that's a scratch build? Very impressive indeed!

Though the paintjob's not 100% finished, I am rather fond of this guy atm:







A custom Obliterator for my World Eaters. Custom parts kindly provided by fellow hobbyist thamier.

Once again doomhammer makes me cry. Lol. Awesome as usual.

A very simple conversion, but one I personally really like. It's one of two Ork models I managed to save from a 30 cent box at the local wargaming store.
I wanted to change it into a WH40k Ork, so I swapped the two blades out for a shoota and a sword/cleaver-thing I still had in my bitz box, and added that Ork face-mask. Oh, and I tacked on a few spikes on one of the shoulderplates. Orks gotta be mean and fearsome, amiright?

Not sure what they're from, though. My best guess is Warhammer Fantasy, but I couldn't find them on the GW site anywhere, so yeah.

I think thats an old black ork model, from warhammer fantasy.

Probably not my best, but for laughs.....



So much win on this thread.

That looks awesome!

Maybe some jet ski-riding Gretchin next? Or a Warboss in an Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses

They're old plastic Black Orcs from Warhammer

My ORKilla Strong point... i love it and i will never paint another one

My Red Terror:




I'm very pleased with how he came out overall, though I'll probably rebuild his head eventually to better match the official model.

(Parts list for anyone who may be interested)
