I like the Knight Titan models well enough, but this takes it to a whole new level of cool: "Hab Block Heavy Demolition Servitor". Shoulders replaced with more angular ones, less armour and more exposed workings and wiring. The main gun has been switched to the carapace, and it really suits the model. The idea of a giant construction bot being pressed into combat service is novel and brilliant, and lends some credibility to the use of big smashy close combat weapons.


Reminds me of the 'Heavy Metal Kid' demolition robots in Judge Dredd Robot Wars

I love Wraithlords and Vyper models, but am not very impressed with their current rules. So I came up with these:



I use them as Grey Knight DreadKnights in a Nemesis Strike force allied to my Eldar:

They are prototype Wraith Constructs designed to fight Daemons

Shameful own-work but I've loved these since I was asked to make them

A chap I'd made some previous conversions for wanted some unique deffkoptas based on Spitfires and it just caught my imagination so... yeah

Following on from the "Tall dreadnought" and "Improving on the Dreadknight" posts, here's one that brings together the best of both kits. Love the purposeful stride it's posed in, and the giant wrist blade.

Pegasus Gunship. Conversion based on the iconic Cheyenne class dropship from Aliens. It appears to be based off the Cheyenne kit, with Stormraven wings, Valkyrie Vendetta cockpit, plus a ton of plasticard. Great kitbash that still has the prerequisite bulk to make it an Imperial flyer.

This thing looked HUGE until I realised that was a Death Korps trooper and bike wheels :p.

Excellent conversion, thanks very much for sharing!!

I recently got my hands on some Bloodcrushers of Khorne. Delicious sculpts, one of those rare kits that I don't feel the need to alter anything But looking at the sprue I couldn't help but notice how much the juggernaut's main torso part resembles a motorbike's main body and fuel tank. Re-sculpt each end, fit wheel arches, a drive chain, front forks and handlebars and you have a bike that Ghost Rider would be jealous of.

Nobody has attempted this yet from what I can see, its just an idea I have. Image of parts attached for reference.

This is my own take on a turreted land raider, inspired by the Warhead Studios tanks and "Rogal Dorn" tank earlier on the thread. The turret is built from a spare Chimera chassis front and parts of the track armour, plus smaller spare parts from more kits than I can recall.

Another fine example of how walkers just look outstanding with both paws on their main gun. The leg propped up on the tire is also a nice touch that compliments the pose well.

Ork zeppelin (not done yet). I know it's been done before, but the point of this one is that it can be made with literal garbage laying around your house and some glue. This one has some green stuff, true, but since making this I've worked out how to make it without any.

This is a nice splicing of the Onager's hull with a dreadnoughts legs turned backwards, for a more AT-ST look. It'd also make a nice model for a sentinel come to think of it.

I very much like this take on the Valkyrie. Replacing the turbofans and wingtip thrusters with the Tau engine/thrusters gives it a much more high tech look. Besides the extensive overhaul of the hull and engines, the wing and tail sections have been re-shaped. The door gunners are another cool touch.

Ever since someone pointed out to me how much the land speeder looks like a flying shoe, it really put me off the model. This conversion has reeled me back in, proves the model has potential to look flaming excellent with some decent wings. Can anyone enlighten me as to what kit the wings are from, as I'd like to build this myself. Thanks.

EDIT: Upon investigation, it turns out the wings are scratch-built from plasticard
