I don't really play, mainly because I'm not such a strategist in war combat. But I was wondering if any of you guys mod your own miniature into your own character? What's the term you call them in general? Modded miniature? Can they be played into the game?

If you do have your own "modded" miniature? Care to show me? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3617644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3617644.page GMT Re:I don't play but I appreciate the art!

Killadoza wrote:The term is called converting or conversions. Its normally done with "green stuff" or spare model parts. mixing and matching pieces combined with patience with green stuff can make for some pretty awesome models. Some are just for looks and others are conversions used to create a character that GW hasnt made a model for.


Thanks for the explanation!

And thank you others for the warm welcome! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3620854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3620854.page GMT Re:I don't play but I appreciate the art! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3620857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3620857.page GMT I don't play but I appreciate the art! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621292.page GMT I don't play but I appreciate the art!
Wargames are not only for brilliant strategist

Many of us also play to take part in (and create) an epic story, a lot like in a rpg ; or to paint, convert...

There is much to do, after joining the hobby !

And Dakka is a great way to discover it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621336.page GMT I don't play but I appreciate the art! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621447.page GMT I don't play but I appreciate the art! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621539.page GMT I don't play but I appreciate the art! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3621956.page GMT I don't play but I appreciate the art! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3622112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3622112.page GMT Re:I don't play but I appreciate the art!
Paul is correct. There are many people that don't play the games at all but love to build, convert,, collect, and paint the miniatures. Many wargaming conventions offer awards for the best painted miniatures in several different categories. Games Workshop's award is called the Golden Demon and is offered in many different countries during their GW Games Day.

You can see a lot of great coversions in the Painting and Modelling (P&M) threads here on Dakka as well as in the Dakka Gallery.

Some other great sites include Cool Mini or Not and this site showing the previous Golden Demon winners around the world.

Enjoy!

HA ha ha, I am not one of those robots, I actually read your posts before replying.

I make my own Daemon Princes/Princesses. So many ways you can do them... I also add effects but they are all in America, and I am in Afghanistan. Also maid my own Techmarines and Telion...

BUT if you make a full sculpture, and keep it on the right size base, you can "PLAY IT AS" like a hero you made but want it to use a different hero's abilities...

You can also mold your own Spawns, Possessed, Chosen, Looted Tank, Possessed Vehicles, Greater Daemons, an Avatar, Servitors, Obliteraters.... This list will go on for ever. Plus all the scratch builds like Titans, or Squiggiths, Tanks.

Keep it in a 28mm scale with the right paint job and base size and you can make it work for you. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3632337.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/413357/3632337.page GMT I don't play but I appreciate the art!
