Who is the model most special too you? any fluff or back story to go with him (or her)?

My old Imperial Fists commander got the nickname Captain Awesome because he never once died in hand to hand combat even when swarmed by sisters repentia in one game. Just a standard Captain with storm bolter and single lightning claw. Didn't even have a paired weapon bonus attack. Just seemed that he always rolled amazing in melee and his opponents always rolled awful. So I started throwing him out as melee bait and my opponents would throw a couple of units at him in CC and he'd continue to win and then they would finally vaporize him with a fusillade of heavy weapons fire.

He is one of a handful of minis I kept my Imperial Fists and I am looking to find a role for him in my DA army now.

wish i had even one soldier who was like that...i get okay rolls on CC only because it's chaos, and khorne makes CC better

The Phantom of the Sternguard.

One of my Sternguard looks suspiciously like a converted Blood Angel hero with a Phantom mask...but I just love his sculpt, he's easily one of my favorite models.

Might make you happier to know that while Captain Awesome was doing his thing in melee the rest of the army was usually gettings its backend handed to it, so it was more of a focus on the cool thing and ignore the bad stuff kind of thing.

I have one skink, he's called 'the mujahadeen skink' and single handedly took out a unit of 5 hand gunners in 6e with 2 attacks on the charge from the mark of sotek, re-rolls from the old heavens default spell he did 2 kills, they outnumbered, they lost by 1 and he chased them down!!

I has strange feeling you wander into wrong place my friend.

What is these "skink" you speaks of?

Joking aside, handgunners aren't the hardest to kill although I think the OP was after 40k stories (hence the forum he posted in)

Welcome (cos you're kinda new) to dakka

The Twins.

My Tau Commander in crisis suit's body guards. When errybuddy in dat unit has to die, point the twins at it. Have always had phenomenal luck with these guys, or maybe more appropriately a few times they've gotten lucky with spectacular results.

Also Frank the Riptide.

My only favorite is for my fantasy ogres. A custom built unit champion/bruiser when needed. He s an f'ing monster

I play a lot of armies but my favorite would have to be James "Draven" Mannfield. James is a converted Daemon prince made from the lower body of a trygon and the upper body of a soul grinder. He uses all daemon prince rules and upgrades but with the stats of a Corpulence (+1 wound, IWND) Bloodthirster to help with his massive size rendering cover and LOS denying impossible. He always does what's expected of him. Kill that HQ, pop that tank, Pester that expensive massive squad...etc.
He seems to share my utter hatred of the pansy tau.

This guy. He may be a meatshield, but he's my favorite meatshield.

Well, I haven't gotten to play much yet because of life stuff, but I'll have to go with my warboss; ""Boss Gorrag' Gob-smash" Won't play a game without him, just wish he had mega- armour thoguh The few games I've had he seems quite good at revenge killing, as in what lost me the last game against someone he will crush this time, altough not necessarily winning the game. I think he's just spitefull, realy
Haven't gotten arount to basing hime yet, and was thinking of adding blood to the klaw, but I have to experiment on another model first
Edit: took the picture with my phone camera and poor lighting, so it looks a tiny bit better IRL

Ah hell yes

My defiler's name is Leonard. His favourite colour is red and his favourite food is cultists. I have never seen anything go through cultists that fast.

Mine is Commander Blacktide of my Tau Vior'La Black Ops. Back story wise he led the Black Ops Secret Service of my Tau army before they all defected to the Farsight Enclaves after finding out a dark, terrible secret about the Ethereals taking all the war gear and ships they could muster.

Really he was my first serious conversion from scratch and I have had some seriously lucky moments with him, especially when hes decked in iridium armor. Definitely got a soft spot for this one and I'm still tweaking it to this day changing weapons and whatnot. With his Airbursting Fragmentation Projector and Cyclic Ion Blaster he is my anti horde in 1 model.

There's a link to him here with the finished model at the bottom of the page: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/520760.page

I've got two

A nob warbiker. I call him simply "the pale rider" . I added DE bits to his bike. It was my first conversion. My fluff for him is that he accidentally added ancient eldar tech that allowed him to travel the webway on his bike. He's also got an ancient artifact that allows him to teleport through the warp. Because of this and the lack of a warp field he's been tainted by the warp making his skin a pale green. He's smarter than the average ork (possibly smarter than a mek)
And thousands of years old.

And Gubstop. Urlurk. My AOBR boss that has a forgeworld dreadnought arm in place of his PK. I paid a dollar for the boss and $8 for the MKIV arm. I was soo happy to play around with him and spent soo much time and effort. He's the boss of da whole crew. I count the storm bolter on his shoulder as an attack squig and his arm is a bosspole in itself. it was the second boss I ever built.

another beautiful model..or are mine just sub-par? well probably both.

id practice bloodying some tau or ultra-smurfs XD

and good luck with this, i found spatter as simple as getting your brush wet with desired blood color, and using your finger to flick the bristles on the model. it'll get blood on more than just a weapon...but who ever heard of an orc NOT soaked in the blood of his dismembered enemies?

shouldn't you point him at imperial troops as opposed to chaos troops though? even as expendable as cultists are...

Spoiler:

i feel like constantly saying how nice all these conversions are is making it seem like it doesnt mean much...but nice conversion!

i can't wait till i can face an orc army...i think my army would do well against a green sea strategy, but i don't have much Anti-Armor so i could also be at a great disadvantage with that setup.

What do you run for strategy?

My female tech priestess that goes with my SOB army. It was my first total conversion and first use of green stuff. Also it was the first time a project came out exactly how I had imagined it. She seldom does anything useful, but that's not the point. In my mind my goal is to make sure she survives.

OK, she aint a beauty queen, but maybe by Mechanicum standards she's hot.

Wait. wait, are you telling me you used the miniature-that-shall-not-be-named as a base for that?! That's badass!

(The miniature in question. Look at your own risk. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

There must always be a tank..... of some kind.
I don't have a single unit that is my "favorite", and the most commonly used model is my Company Commander but he is not my "favorite" overall.

Otherwise, in terms of tank that is used most often it is a Leman Russ battle tank that I scratch built after seeing thread #5 of "Imperial tanks shouldn't work" or something to that degree, complaining how the tanks should not work due to X factors and blah blah blah.

Well I designed and built him with knowledge of real tanks mechanical workings and such and came out with "The Vanguard"


Overall he is used the most out of my tanks. He always seems to make his points up 3 fold hammering away at enemy infantry or getting the kill shot on an enemy vehicle.

Mine is my Wazdakka Gutsmek model, even though i never field him as Wazdakka lol.

The model is easily my best conversion/painting work and he draws so much attention because he is so unique looking. I need to build legit Bikernobz and a bikerboss to go with them so i can stop "proxying" this guy that is technically Wazdakka lol.

The actual bikerboss i already have is despicable to me now. Very plain looking, which doesnt fly for orks! must build a new one...

EDIT: Heres my Wazdakka

Awww. I'm sure the Dialogus would have her feelings hurt if she heard that. But yes, I changed it up a bit.

Batork my Ork Kommando Nob. He's only primed in black and I've only had time to paint his skin.

In his first game, a 2v2 against DE and CSM he entered the board with his fellow kommandos, who immediately got ripped to shreds by Reaver bladevanes, leaving only Batork left. He didn't give a zoggin 'eck and went on to blow up two csm Rhinos with his klaw before he got shot down by bolter fire. All the while quoting the Dark Knight.

"why are they chasing him?"
"he isn't the Ork they want, but the one they need"

Added a pic of the finished conversion. (also some progress shots in the link)

I'm already attached to my new Warboss Zagnob. It was a great conversion and a great alternative to the bosses out nowadays.

Pretty darn cool, dreamakuma! Snake bite?

A lot of my games are chaos vs chaos - less 'get off my lawn' and more arguing over who's lawn it is.
