Are you some kinda wise guy? "all-get-out" is a figure of speech meaning "unbelievably".That was a paintjob? I could hardly tell! I find your comment reveals more about you then you probably know..
Well the people arguing with what you said have very good reason too. Theres a HUGE difference from constructive criticism, and what you said. You were(and still are) very rude with what you said. You simply could of said, hey you need to slow down, and try to think out more on what your doing, because IMO it looks sloppy. That would of been far better then, well it basically looks like cat gak that was eatten and than shat out again.
Besides, I still would like to see some of your work, if your going to harass someone like you did. That way if your stuff is close to awesome sauce, at least Ill understand where all the hate came from

I completely Agree..It was not constructive and was very mean, I would like to see some of yours Samus which you have conveniently not posted. I like to think we give pointers and not insults, it just makes this board a better place.

Throw some more icons/aquilas/purity seals on there so we can tell its w40k
Judging from the tentacles and Plague marine I think it is meant to be a Nurgle Plague Tower. So in that case, it needs to be more Nurgly I guess.
Yeah,this.
Throw some green puke stains and green water effects on and you're good to go! Maybe some infested skeletons would be nice,like,with guts and stuff
As my Fallen Angel Sorcerer is the only conversion I have pictures of right now I'll post it. It's quite basic, some greenstuff used to fill gaps, a Sorcerer backpack I aquired from one of my friends, a pair of Pegasus wings and some black templar bitz. All of this added to a DA vet another friend give me in exchange for some flamestorm cannons. I made some positioning changes to the weapons as well but that's it.
It's on display at my local GW, shame the camera hasn't picked up some of the highlights that well.
More pictures of it can be found in my Gallery.

Some persuasion and just asking them nicely, that and the staff set up a cabinet recently for converted and well painted models. Some of the models in the case are painted by staff members but a few aren't, there is a Malanthrope, Witch Hunter Preachers, some awesome Tau and then (my) Fallen DA all of which have been painted by visitors to the GW store. Their is also a bit dedicted to a WHFB 'Hero's Tale' thing.

Nice stuff here. Whether it looks really professional or not, I think anyone's effort to make something different should be applauded for the attempt if nothing else. Its not like any of these are cheap miniatures, so it takes some courage to do it, and whether it fits your tastes or level, its all good. I just got back into wargaming again after a long hiatus, so hopefully I'll have some new stuff soon. Been painting a few miniatures for RPGs I've been in, lately, and I got the bug again. Lessee if I have any pictures of older stuff...
Apparently, I didn't really take pictures of many of my miniatures... so all I have is this simple decorated base for a Malus Darkblade I painted a long time ago. Everything else is from other systems entirely... =/
I like the obscenely too high handlebars on that bike. I thought about doing that with my warabss, but it didnt look right with the obscenely too long chopper style forks.

And WIP Emperor Titan, which kiiiind of counts as a conversion...8 Building sets (Shrine of Aquilas etc)
The quailty of work I have seen in the thread so far is amazing- there are some really talented Dakkites out there!!
