Julgolax Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Just out of curiosity, what conversion(s) have you seen in Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines that stands out as the best, the most inventive, the most artistically advanced, even the most outlandish. My personal experiences have led me to see many different conversions good and some bad. One of my favorites that I have seen would have to be a Warsmith of the Iron Warriors Legion. This particular warsmith was a very interesting piece of work. The creator used an ingenious way of converting a techmarine in full Servo-arm harness into a Warsmith with a Defiler base. He cut the techmarines lower legs and feet off and attached that to the connector joint of a defiler's leg plate. He then replaced the joint, forearm, and claws of the 2 from limbs of the defiler with twin stormbolter turrets. IF that isnt cool I dont know what is... :) too bad it is illegal in game terms... :teehee:. So, what have you seen? Has no one ever seen a conversion that really hit them as unique, cool, odd, intersting?

battle captain corpus Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 There is an excellent brother on this site who creates some of the most perfect Nurgle tanks I have ever in all my 17 years of GW collecting seen. For the life of me I cannot remember the threads/brothers name. His work is inspired, using masses of milliput, GS, random tubing and so forth to create some truly sickening vile filth (this is meant in the best possible compliment!) :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116052-what-are-your-best-conversions-and-ideas-for-them/#findComment-1337011 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacefrisian Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Here is mine (wich gets a lot of attention every time i take it with me.) http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/Spacefrisian/Spacewolves/IMG_1273.jpg (Don't know if you would like to get an explanation so i just add one) The following were used: Plastic Dreadnought Pair of Penitant (PE) engine legs Fenrisian wolfhead or Juggernaut of Khorne head Tau Battlesuit feet Various bits (whichever you like ading) Assemble the main body of the dread but do not add plate and exhaust to it. Cut the legs (keept the underlegs intact they'll be needed)in order to get the PE Legs fitted to it (takes some GS) Assemble the front legs by taking the upper arm and combining them with the leg parts to extend them somewhat. Try to get the right pose as you put it together and finish this by adding the Tau feet and the Dreadnought feet to it. When it has stabilised (GS has dried enough) add the Exhausts/ Weapons/ head(s) etc to it and it should be done.

When it has stabilised (GS has dried enough) add the Exhausts/ Weapons/ head(s) etc to it and it should be done. Lovely conversion, but you missed a bet there in my opinion. The use of an additional pair of Sentinel Legs, or perhaps even the arms from the new TechMarine's ServoHarness, with attached DCCW fists with longer 'claws', would make this look nastier. Mounting points would be either side of the AC, on the flat space above the vertical surface you placed the dread's name. I dunno about you, but a four footed, walking steel wolf-tank, with weapons and CCW arms would scare me!

Dragoonman Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hmm.... this is a tough question. As far as my favorite piece o' work is, I'd have to go with a single army. I can't remember where I found it online, and I don't seem to have any photos, but this guy had done a Scythes of the Emperor army, which consisted of the suriviors of the decimation of that chapter. Each model was posed and converted to be fighting 'nids, with each squad fighting a different breed, or under different circumstances. I loved it because the actions poses were perfect, capturing the fighting style adn the movement of the combatants, and it even inspired me to do a few like it, although they will never rival the sight of all those black and yellow marines on a scenic base.

Driseamail Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 This is my latest dread, still working on the base of it as well as final touch ups, but I'm quite pleased with it overall.

Cygnwulf Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm currently in the process of converting a Dread with variable geometry legs. 'dual mode' for tracked movement or walker movement. If anyone's ever seen any of the walker/tank minis from the game 'Gear Krieg' that's kind of what I'm working on. I'm scratch building some tank tracks and housing attachments on and around a pair of sentinal legs.
