A german half track conveted into an ork trukk, took a lot of bits and time. My first conversion too

**Tedcase**

Not my best, but I thought DD would like it:

Thanks Anvildude. In a way, yes. Certainly any more Orks are going to get re-posed. But my "army" is not a typical army and I doubt I'll reach the numbers of just Orks that others may use for an whole Ork army. (You'll have to see my army's blog to get a full understanding)
Without "needing" to play the game, I can take my time on every army member and give them all the love they deserve.

Nice work people.

My most complex conversion (by far) is my Keeper of Secrets alernative model. Base model is a WFB Ghorghon. Everything else is modelled by me. It's still WIP...

**Fenris-77**

Not the best picture (all the blends look like gak), but the guy at Gamesday that year wasn't on top of his game.

**moodster95**

Been working on a warthog for my Cadian army HQ to cruse around in

its nowhere near finished yet but getting there

That is crazy good. The best KoS model I've ever seen, nice work. I'd love to see it when it's done

**Camkierhi**

Fantastic work everyone, just outstanding, this thread is so inspirational.

MorkAlmighty! That's amazing! Loving your work.

**PourSpelur**

I'll throw this guy down because I'm really happy with him. Walking Dakka pred, autocannon and heavy bolters.

**EmberlordofFire8**

Cool. What army is it for?

**PourSpelur**

Counts-as Marines. Making a resurgence force of Thunderwarriors.
Wanted to capture the techno-barbarian vibe.

**u971**

Counts as Servitors,always wanted some servo skulls but never had the know how bits or basic green stuff skills required to have a go,which i now have,so a while ago i made these as a drone medical crew,For a odd looking autodoc medbay.

**TheGrimDork**

This is still one of my favourite conversions I've ever done. BB pogo-er from fanatic. Simple but effective.

**Thousandeyes**

Still love my Cypher / Deadpool conversion.

**Eclecticmj**

This is an old one but a favourite just because of how much modelling and converting involved. It needs an update now though.

Can't see the pic but I reeeeeeeally want to! Haha

**Elbows**

Bashed the Kurtha Sed figure into a simple Dark Disciple

(new head, backpack, arms, weapons etc.)

Think my BB Goblins team needs one of these! Very fun.

**BleachHawk**

Awesome conversions!

My best one so far is the Death Guard Predator converted from an old Baal Predator I think.
Side-cannons, kombi-bolter and rocket launcher are magnetized.

Wyvern Pyran Pattern mk2 "Deodatus"

Spoiler:

Not too happy of its size (too tall) but I will fix it up when I repaint my army to my new schem.

I love it, got any tutorials on how you made it?

Sadly I only have some mid build pictures, I want to eventually make a improved version with a lower silhouette. Meanwhile im gonna go over this one again and make it look not so empty around the turret with added bitz etc.

WIP pics

Spoiler:

On this variant I used the original turret ring which prevented me from lowering the weaponary as much as I wanted. The gun are attached to the middle piece with the original mounting parts (the discs).

Wow, I need to take the time to read this whole thread. Thanks for posting folks! I don't know if I have a best conversion. Maybe this one for shear visual impact.

On the other hand I won a contest with this one back in the day, which went a long way to really getting me into scratch building, over on Bartertown. It incorporated a casting of an actual dragonfly's body.

That's fantastic! It looks from the photos like a lot of the beast's body was sculpted?

**kestral**

Not by me, alas. It is an obscure confrontation model I dug the pieces of a FLGS junk store. Or most of them.

**Eclecticmj**

Mechanised Rough Rider from the 142nd Mistral Rangers.

**chimeara**

This is still my best and favorite conversion.
