For my personal taste it looks silly, but the coolest conversion I have seen is the giant ork robot thingie that a GW manager made a while back.

But that is a awesome conversion.

Hardly the coolest. This ork one is just recent. There are tons of ork ones around. Take a look around, this one is cool but looks like bits were just slapped together. Ork yes, best I've seen, far from it.

I did see that one. It looked pretty cool. But not as cool as an AOBR warboss that had a load of conversion on it.

Thats not even a conversion, it's just random bits on a Warboss.

That's what everyone else is saying. It's not. I'm surprised.

No offence KaptinBadrukk but you really haven't been around as long as many of the forum members so they've seen a lot of eye-popping Ork conversions over the years. You're what, only 15? So you have to understand what your pointing out is pretty tame in comparison to what we've often experienced or seen firsthand.

OK. thanks for the pointers.

It's not even a conversion. It's a, very low tier, kitbash. Cut some stuff off that, glue it on that, done.

Well, I call Kitbashing another type of Conversion.

It is not very impressive at all really. As others have said, slapping a bunch of bits onto a figure isn't that big a deal. In this case, it isn't even well executed. It is not balanced, there are ugly gaps (right shoulder is really bad), it just comes off as amateurish.

Hehehe... I found the OP's model's big brother... oh my it was worth it for finding this:
He can be Dakka's mascot... never enough dakka but pretty close!
<edit> I so want to write the stats for this model... it would be epic and painful but a labor of love!
<edit#2> Name those bits!! Go!

What case were you trying to prove then? Seems like you're pretty embarassed and trying to play it off...

What about this Draigo Conversion?





This is one of my favorites:

Draigo is awful. The sword is way too big and takes the focus away from the model at hand.

Not to mention the model doesn't even seem to have a storm shield equipped to it.

That was kind of the point. It was supposed to represent the overdone fluff of Draigo. Originally it was something for using the extra left over bitz from a looted Dreadknight. After it was made people thought it would make a great draigo because it was so over the top. It wasn't supposed to be serious.
