Mostly Sculpted Nurgle DP, with removable wings.

**STG**

Not my work but worth looking at.

**theCrowe**

Wowza! That thing is terrifyingly good, Captyn_Bob.

Also, this thread is almost due a level-up. First post was March 16th 2009 making us about a fortnight away from 8 Years of Awesome Conversions!

**Kalamadea**

As somebody that REALLY dislikes the Centurions, that conversion actually looks REALLY good. Fixed the look of the models quite a lot and it looks like all he did was lengthen the shins, separate them to make them look like an actual articulated leg and remove the crotchplate for a terminator crotch. Looks far more dynamic now, almost has a mini Dreadknight vibe. If I ever need to do Centurions, that's how I'll do them.

**Ynneadwraith**

Yeah I'm of the opinion that the 'Marines in sumo suits' are some of the least attractive models around, but this actually looks decent!

I am, however, sketching out how the Marine must look to fit inside that armour and he's got some reeeally weird proportions. Must be an Iron Hand and everything but his head and torso is cybernetic...

I remember reading somewhere that centurions have their arms folded in front of their chest inside the suit and the actual arms of the suit are robotic.

Dust Tactics Steel Guard NCO conversion... "Gregor Bahnermann" ...... still very much WIP at the mo!

**anarchistscourge**

So here we have my most recent, and probably best conversion. Using the ogryn/bullgryn kit to make some Dark Eldar Grotesques.

**Verviedi**

Do I have to pick just one? Here's my Mechanicus collection.

**theCrowe**

And this guy takes the top spot for my best conversion.

A couple more pics.

Spoiler:

Some seriously good work on display here Dakkanaughts. Excellent knife and brush work all round.

**EmberlordofFire8**

A close tie between this:

And this: (the one on the right)

**Tedcase**

Love this thread!

**Inso**

I'm really quite pleased with my latest 'conversion'... although it's more of a full sculpt of a Ratling sniper in full ghillie suit

:

**Kern**

I am working on an Imperial Knight, other than some small conversions this would my first one.

**Anvildude**

Orkifying it up, huh? WAAAAGH!!!

**KrautScientist**

Man, returning to this thread is always sooo worth it!

@ Kern: That looted Knight is incredible, mate! Thumbs up!

After a longer stint on the sidelines, I have another favourite conversion to share with you: A plastic conversion of the Primarch Angron inspired by this classic piece of artwork by the late, great Wayne England:

And here's the model:

Many more pictures can be found here, in case anyone's interested.

Been following this thread for a while but never posted. Of all my builds, this guy received the most love on dakka :

More Angles

That looks REALLY good, including the paint job.

**killerpenguin**

This is probably my best one.

**Drakheart**

One of my latest bits of madness:

**Lovebeard**

Wow. I feel almost ashamed posting my stuff here. The amount of skills in all those conversions is breathtaking.
well here are my black templar terminators with thunderflails and my neophytes.

**Elbows**

Some work from yesterday.

-Don't like modern Rhinos.
-Old Rhinos are hard to find, and quite small.
-Don't like modern Predators.
-Old Predators are hard to find, and quite small.
-Want older/HH appearance of Rhinos/Predators.

Magnetized (same vehicle in both shots). More on the way.

My Kitbashed Biovore:

I'd love to know how you made the biovore. It looks like it's mostly plastic give guard parts, but I assume the upper carapace is sculpted?

**Camkierhi**

Such amazing work here as always, all outstanding guys.

Heres one of my latest, used a Ork Trukk kit and a box of Killa Kans. Plus a little extra....

This image is from my friend, who I built it for, spoilered my pics, not as good but showing some more of the detail.

Spoiler:

Keep it up everyone, you are all so inspirational.

**Dr H**

Is a lovely job, Cam'.

And after a long while, I have something that'll fit in this thread.

I converted this Ork boy into an Ork boy.

Thanks.

**Hawky**

Tesla Tank. (Red Alert 2 inspired)

Counts as Executioner Leman Russ tank.

**Anvildude**

@Dr. H- that's actually a really well done Boy. They're all too often given no love, just banged out to fill ranks. But that guy's got character. You doing a whole army like that?

**KommissarKiln**

A bit of a shameless plug from my P&M blog, but I'm awfully pleased with how they turned out... Spoiler: Ork cav.
