I snagged a whole lot of DV chosen on the cheap, but like everyone on earth, realized that their wargear made them pretty impractical. So I set about converting them to regular riflemen using some spare arms and shoulderpads.
My camera settings also made the metalics look REALLY grainy, but they're fine in person, I swear!

They look awesome man!

Very nice.

The gold/bronze has a strange texture to it, is it any kind of special paint or what?

Fine work indeed; if actual CSM minis looked like this I'd be a heretic in a heartbeat!

My camera's exposure settings did something weird with the metalics. They're smooth in person. I think my lighting was too low.

Please show work in progress pics if any. I want to see how you converted them.
