Not my best conversion per se, but one of the only pics I have on my laptop at the moment. Still, I was happy with this one. A mix of HE and DE spearman bits, with the top of the DE sorceress staff as the head of the banner.

Well, there's definitely a story behind this banner's imagery.

My truely demonic warp talons made with possessed bitz here and there, a few daemonette bits and gargoyle wings.
I really like the idea of the slain company champion on the base of the chaos champion.

Love the guts coming out! I always love the little narrative bits like that. good work buddy:-)

So, I haven't posted my stuff in a long time and I thought since I just finished a nifty conversion, I'd post it here.

Challenge: There are two obvious conversion elements, the propeller and the Stormboyz. Find the others.

Let's see, you added more dakka, more exhaust/engine, pushed the pilot back, extended the flaps I believe and flattened the tail fins to be horizontal. Regardless if I missed anything it's still a nice conversion.

Really good eye there, mrwhoop.

In the first "new format" WD they push the pilot back, too. The difference is they essentially did a hatchet job of it and tried disguising it using extra bits they had laying around. I took the time to reshape the holes in the fuseloge so that the cockpit and engine cover would actually fit. I was suprised at how well everything went together. It took a lot less effort than I had expected and the results are subtle enough that a lot of people miss it.

My Bomma is going to be wildly over the top. My initial plan is to make it look a little like an A-10 Warthog. Hopefully I can get the right bits.

Very nice work there Breotan.

Well I hope you can get those bitz and gubbinz ya need. I love the A-10 and I'll try to keep an eye out for your project.

On another note I've more or less finished building this project and am looking to start the task of painting.


There's lots of orky things going on here...or so I stipulate.

More pics can be seen in the shameless plug here ( otherwise known as a wip thread): http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/507687.page

That's awesome

My conversions

Still technically a work in progress but I thought I'd share just because you deserve it.

That is wonderfull Breotan. The only thing that I can see that would make it better, and it may well be more work than it's worth, would be putting the main turret on tracks so it would move from side to side every tine the driver took a corner.

What colour scheme are you thinking of using?

Everything worked out so well except for that rear canopy. That's pretty much a hatchet job. I had to glue the copula to the canopy so the turret will have to either sit there or not be used. Except for the canopy, the rest of the conversion was smooth as silk. I'm continuously surprised at how easy it is to do high quality conversions with ork kits. I'm not talking about just throwing bits on a gap, either. I'm talking planning, cutting, assembling, etc. You'd almost think Ork stuff is designed to be cut apart and reassembled.

I'm currently planning on basing my color scheme on heacy hitter's albino ork scheme.

Isn't that just an enhanced picture? If you take the actual picture it's just been toned down. The real one is much brighter. Love the conversion though.

I've only just gotten back into the hobby about a month and a half ago, but I've been having fun using up all the extra bits left over from my Orks boxes.

Big Mek w/ KFF - in-game stats include cybork body, 'eavy armor and burna:





I had some fun slapping together a painboy. His surjikal saw is also a sewing machine for stitching parts back together:

These are looking really awesome mate ;D Well done!

Well, this is my most recent conversion, so it probably pushed a lot of my boundaries of sculpting and painting to complete.


Kromlech Fatty torso
Fantasy orc legs
Fantasy Savage boar head
Kromlech kommando backpack
Random weapons from models
Greenstuffed Fingers
Greenstuffed potions and moneysacks
Greenstuffed fur to join to torso
A custom Fez

He is a fun model!

Plague Marine Rhino



And my Warpsmith inspired by the Dark Apostle Novel.

My latest...

I like my War Walkers -


and my Quad Cannon -

I finally finished my kharn conversion/scratchbuild and i think he just looks too good to not share him here. *pats himself on the shoulder* Good work me.



This is one of the few models of mine i actually quite like and don't remind myself of all the flaws each time i look at it.

Good work indeed!

Haven't posted here in a while. Here's the Storm Raven I'm working on.





Still very much WIP but it's based on the chapter house kit with a completely redone top and rudder section. Wings moved back, scratchbuilt canards. Check out the thread in my sig for the complete build.

I'm happiest with my Nurgle Sorcerer Lord on bike

Finecast terminator librarian, Grey Knight Paladin sword arm (with some guitar wire and telephone line for the connecting tubes), an open hand from some Death Company model, small details from the Ravenwing upgrade sprue, and a hooded head from the Deathwing Knights kit.

I've got some DE characters to stick on here if I can take a decent enough picture for it to show up.

props on that mostly GS khorne dude btldoomhammer!

looks really great.

@nkelsch that is great. what do you use it as in game? love the model.

figure i will throw another model in here that i'm fancying lately



i present, a "snotling pump wagon" count as... I call it my squigling pump wagon with a squiggy-rolla.

That's a pretty awesome scratch build there scyfi... Love the squig on top of the wheel... nice touch & gives a wonderful focal point on that big area.

@Gits you should post some of your stuff in here. I haven't seen any so far

@Bacon: Thanks mate, I appreciate that. I just did actually (the las cannon scout I made from graven is just up a few posts). Most of my conversions don't really rise to the stellar heights that this thread prescribes though. They're just frankenfigures of cobbled together bits for the most part. I guess I have one or two folks might be interested in...

Hmmmm....

OK, here's two that might rise to the occasion.

So, here's one of my two mantis Warrior rhinos. Conversions are the open hatch which is magnetized, the raised floor inside that allows a representative figure to stand up out of the hatch, and the storm bolters on the front hatches.



Here is one of my two Land Speeder Typhoons. Lots of conversions here. First the two Mk VI crewment and a gun mount that actually traverses from left to right. Top and lower gun (below the hull) are magnetized as are the typhoon missile launchers that have been shifted from the side doors to the back of the hull.
