Old one, but I haven't converted anything in a while. At least not good. Might have psoted it before.



Then there's the winged Hive Tyrant I did.



Sold both of them though.

Here's my interpretation of Wazdakka Gutsmek. Its based on the art in the new codex. A thread shall follow showing how I made him once he's painted...

Great job

Dude, your "post more" bumps are so annoying. People will post regardless of your shorthanded form of encouragement.

Yea stop with the 'post more'

adding to the collection:

It may look like an ordinary Librarian but it has a jump pack! was my first time model with green stuff (back pack needed refitting) ive redone the face on him and touched him up a bit but haven't uploaded the picture yet..

QFT, and because i couldnt have ut it better myself!

finaly i was bored enough to take a picture of my minamly converted commander or such high ranking sod.

Awesome thread. I will begin a new eldar army pretty soon; call it a summer project. I'll be sure to drop some photos of my Wraithequin army. I have truly found inspiration throughout this entire thread. Thank you to everyone who has posted.


I have to say that is a beautiful conversion. Very suiting to a storm guardian. I love the buggers and plan on converting some of my own asap, in honor of your attention to detail. Finishing that left knee will make that conversion perfect. I like the yes I AM going to run if you let me... but not before really irritating you.

So fantastically awesome words cannot describe. It's like you combined every candy wrapped it coolness and manifested a beast of doom in doing so. Man I could just eat that model

Great painting and photo as well.

Great idea. I think this embodies my vision of the eldar god of war more than any other avatar model I have seen. Very creative. Overall the paint could use a few more techniques. Why just steam a pot-sticker when you can fry it as well. The flames could use some more white highlights, toned into the oranges and reds with a subtle yellow (or blue if you have a very steady hand). The body is not so molten as befits the avatar, if you could mimic the texture from the G.W. or F.W. models (f.w. is better... ahem), the model would hold a more "molten" prescence; he looks yellow right now, he should be orange and black.

Oh right, blacks and grays are the key to "realistic" magma. Dry brushing your gray (w/ a hint of light-brown if you want to be fancy) onto a "magma" orange will give a fluid presence to the paint; A bubbling if you'd like. Adding a very light drybrush layer to your black "cool magma" lines with a sparkling red is the best way to pull the orange and black together. I find that red with a moderate hint of gold makes an amazing "charcoal" like heat to the model. Silver mixed with yellow (and a tiny drop of gold) then a dull red, will give you an adjustable "charcoal" heat. This is great for bringing a personal tone to your "magma".

A bit less necron would be nice, changing the drape things into a wraithlord-like banner would be relatively simple. There are bound to be a few guides somewhere in this forum for that type of custom banners.

this is my first conversion, so definatley my best. It started life as a standard SM attack bike , I sculpted gs heads, gs wolf, gs icons, home made hand gun, and home made headlights.

A couple that I did as a joke, someone mentioned that some of my Lightening claws were't agressive enough



And that the Termi Chaplain wasn't that bulkey


Also WoC wasn't random enough any more

I didn't change the head of that one.. thats the ork warboss with chainaxe and big shoota.. should i change it anyways?

@Sicarious85: imop, no way. Looks great. His head is big, well, because it's an ork, not a panzy space elf!

I concur

My favourite conversion, made from spare trukk parts mostly

That thing looks mean. ^ * EDIT * Yay!!! 500th Post!

my necron conversion



sorry about the quality of the image. i don't have no fancy smancy photo machine or no nicey pricey light globes.






more pics.... can anyone gimme some hints on getting those kodak moments?

Haha, well, I love the dancing Winny the ppoh at the bakc, but your droid seems to be covered in some sort of forcefield.

yes, hes packed in a milar pouch. stronger than any forcefield in the 40k universe

Hmmm, had to think about this one for a while...I think my favourites so far are my Iron Falcons Whirlwind and Predators.

Never seen that before
Good job
like how you could see the SM inside

Thanks. I am toying with the idea of making a Predator Destructor Walker too...it's a fair while since I built these models so it will take some effort to remember the process. I will take photo's and post up a WIP thread this time though lol.

those SM walker tanks are totally awesome, so I think it would be churlish of me to point out that "Phoenix" is spelled wrong

Dammit, I never noticed I spelt it wrong. Never mind, easily fixed. Actually, I am surprised no-one has commented on the name on the first Predator looking like 'Anus'...it actually says Arius. Thanks for the heads-up anyway...glad you like the model more than my poor spelling.

And the groin mounted storm bolter as well

Not much fantasy up in this thread... Here's my latest. A runesmith for my army.



RZ

I've got something in production, a dreadnought sculpted into a big daddy, ran out of green stuff after first leg though, will post it up ASAP

This is my DA Grand Master Belial.

Thanks
