A reversed Leman Russ. Thanks to Gustaf Eklund of 40k Converters Facebook group for permission to share. I neglected to enquire about the makings of this, but I'm fairly certain the entire track units are from a 3rd party site.

More reversed Russes on pages 1 and 2

I put this together over Christmas after I got the Necromunda market kit and I’m really pleased with how it came out:

Love the necro market pieces and the neon sign is truly fantastic!

Stormhawk/A10 conversion. This one using Dakkajet wings Thanks to Alex Regenold of 40k Converters - Kit Bash Carnage Facebook group

More Stormhawk to A-10 conversions on p2,p9, and there are also a few great alternative conversions of the Hawk/Talon kit scattered throughout the thread. Like the Armiger, it's just one of those kits with a huge array of modelling potential.

I first saw a Stormtalon / Walker conversion back in 2015 on I can't remember which site. I've encountered quite a few since then -it's cool that the original one inspired so many others. This is one of the finest ones, using the legs of a Nemesis Dreadknight. The talons also complement it well. Thanks to Septimus Clegg of 40k Converters Facebook group for this beaut. Link to his blog with build guide below, it's a good read.

Another great overhaul of the Centurion models. Thanks to Jean-Philippe Lavergne of 40k Converters Facebook Group for permission to share. Primaris parts added, improved integration of the weapons into the fists and on shoulder mounts, model made taller, lots of pouches added. The poses are well done. They look suitably cumbersome, but not completely gawky like the originals.

More centurion improvements on page 5 and 6 for those interested.

A very pretty bash using the Spartan tank as a basis. As you can tell from the weapons, its intended to be fielded as a Repulsor. Hull top resurfaced with plasticard, 3D printed turret, and various bits. Thanks to Josh Minney of 40k Converters - Kit Bash Carnage Facebook group for permission to share.


For those interested, there are additional turreted land raider / tracked repulsor conversions on pages 5,6 and 9 of this thread.

Great thread and a nice surprise to see my MULE in there!

Here are some better pics of it...
Spoiler:


The flatbed is the internal seating from a Stormraven/plasticard and the rear of the Sentinel cab is the reactor from the back of a Qustoris Imperial Knight.

I too did the backward Leman Russ thing..
Spoiler:

The barrel is a crayola "Super Tips washable marker" style# 58-7509

And i did a Mk5 Dreadnought leg-job years ago so the paint-job could be better...
Spoiler:

Mostly balsa wood legs and a heavy chop-job on the old legs to pivot them 90°


The Dog-Naught really puts GW to shame imo - massive kudos to the creator!
That and the De-Looted Trukk really are on another level.

Keep those conversions coming everyone!

Struggling about in Asmos territory.

My most recent kitbash was the new Tyranid biovore:
Spoiler:





My best kitbash so far was repurposing a Cadian sentinel into an Orky' warmachine. I don't think I'll ever top that one... although my Electrified Cybork Def dread did come very close.

Kitbashed Sentinel (spacemarine victim included) (kinda should retake photos with a black bg of this one -_- )

The Tyranid Biovore doesn't look like a kitbash tbh


Also - is it too late for adding some colour to the Sentinel conversion?
It looks the business, but the "red wunz go fasta"

It's funny you should mention that. I just discovered it on a "best shoot 'em ups" vid about 2 weeks ago. I had a PS1 back in the day like nearly everyone, but the selection of games in Irish stores was pretty limited...never even knew of its existence until now. Looks class.
