@FrozenBeard: Whoa, wait, what? You've been in the hobby for 18 months and come up with something like THAT? Phew, thanks for making the rest of us bad -- that Kolek Suneater conversion is simply amazing.

Spectacular stuff, mate! I don't want to imagine what you'll be up to after a few years in the hobby...

Thanks for the kind words. My day job involves a lot of fine motor skill looking through a microscope so I found the brush control and sculpting skills pretty easy to learn. Kholek was my first conversion and I enjoyed it a lot.

I still have lots to learn though and at the moment I'm better at copying other peoples work than creating my own colour schemes etc from scratch!

Ok, here's another minor conversion I've made. I bought this metal Sorcerer with Force Sword because I like his design
(mainly because Sorcerers from the first Dawn of War were designed after this model). Everything was fine,
but I really wanted him to have a staff, so I made him one. I've cut his arm off (cutting metal, ugh, hard job)
and replaced it with spare hand of the space wolf (haha, space wolf hand used in the model of thousand sons sorcerer...).
After that I've made a staff out of dark eldar bits which my friend gave me and some green stuff.

I feel Captain Camael (Tycho) and Captain Ezekiel (Gabriel Seth) are probably my best work.

I don't know if this counts... But I do have this kit-bashed guardsman.

Here's a Chaos Lord / Wight King I converted up recently.



There's a story behind this one; I won the original model as a consolation prize for coming last place in a fantasy tournament. I was running a fluffy Vampire Counts list with no vampires in it, just Wight Kings and various ghosts/skeletons. So I got this vampire-looking guy with instructions to put 'blender lord' vampires in my lists if I wanted to beat everyone.

Ended up converting him into another Wight King.

Never Compromise your Fluff!

Dunno if this is my "best" but its my most recent, and I'm rather proud of it. It's the count as Wulfen for my storm-wardens ( Space highlander ) army. Since storm wardens obviously cant become wulfen I had to figure out how to make them seem more feral so I decided to go the Foresworn / berserker look. I hope you all like it, if you do check out my thread for more!

Not gonna lie, this is pretty awesome.

It's taken a while (over 8 months) but I have finally finished my conversion of a SM Predator into a (Mad) Scientist Predator.
Too many little changes to list here, some are more obvious than others.
Major changes include a full interior, scratch-built sponsons and a scratch-built dozer blade / plough.
The guns are all movable and the hatches open and (mostly) close.
Includes homages to both H. R. Giger and Rik Mayall in the painting.

I present to you, T-01:

Good god that tank is a freakin diorama not a model lol

so much detail....

My Dark Eldar Lord. He has an Agoniser Talon, (Chaos Lord Lightning Claw) and a Slaanesh Marine Head by his feet!


Also, My Necrarch Vampires which are based on the Sketches from the Bloodline powers section of the old book.

That tank is pretty metal. pretty god-damn metal.

Ha Yeah. It's the best kind of diorama; one you can use in game.
I like my small details.

I'll take pretty metal as a top complement. Thanks.

MORE!

You got it!

I have those exact same Citadel Walls! :O
What are the walls "supposed to" build normally?
Awesome conversion, by the way! I'm definitely getting an Ordinatus-meets-WHFB vibe from i!

Couldn't agree more! That tank is glorious.

Black templar marchel: Dietrich gothika (wip)

That tank is just amazing.

There are so many fantastic conversions in this thread and so many great ideas.

Thought I would just add a small one of mine. My repaired guardsmen with mechanical leg

That turned out beautifully LT.

Chtulu! Love it.

Awesome minis as always!

I've recently finished two Ork Battlewagons that are now taking up space in the studio, much to my delight
The first:


And the second:



If anyone's interested, links to buy the models are below

Battlewagon Number 1
Battlewagon Number 2

Maybe my Dante




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Or this



Or this

They're still in process of being painted, but these two are my best so far. The scorpion was assembled without a pin vise, which sucks because it could be so much more dynamic.

Although these aren't necessarily my best, they were certainly some of the most fun to create. They count as Wraiths but are my Beetle-Bot Surfers:



They will eventually be part of this lot (all are converted):

These are my Necron Canoptek Leech's, and are part of a much bigger Tesseract Vault conversion that I'm still working on.

Hehe, wrote a term paper on him last year. One of my all time favorite artists as well. His conceptual work on the original Dune series was amazing.

I find Giger and Lovecraft to be a bit of an influence on my own art as well. I REALLY like that dozer blade.

Also, here is an overview shot of my current project. All conversions, though half a dozen are just simple weapon swaps. Click and zoom for a better view.

Yeah, that would have made a awesome film (although perhaps without the worms giving blowjobs to giant penises ). I really like his Biomechanical work and the New York landscapes. Just the level of detail is incredible. And then trying to recreate that, in-scale, on my tank, really gave me a whole new respect for his work.

Thanks. That is one of two dozers I made that will fit the tank (I still need to finish the other one). They were quite difficult scratch-builds.

Good work, I have had a peek at the early stages of your blog a while ago. Good use of parts from other races/models.
