Tyrtitan Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Well, I've had this idea for a while... http://www.b3tards.com/u/d2e1cf3429dda61c9013/templar-marneus.jpg Essentially, get Marneus, and the two honour guard with winged helmets, file off, cover up and snip away any Ultramarine symbols,paint them black and cover them in litanies and purity seals. He'll have a big weapon, probably a halberd, or a hammer, maybe a huge sword, and the two guard will have the axes, but with templar iconography. I'm going to attempt this after the rest of my Templars are done...I still have to finish my basic army, get a venerable dread from forgeworld, along with the terminator shields and shoulder guards, and all of these are going to be high-tabletop/showcase/as good as I can get them. I love making work for myself.

Algoroth Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 it's the only major convertion I've ever attempted... this is what I did:- I didn't use the kneeling marine legs, I made these from the ones supplied in the tactical marine box - the narthesium/reductor is scratchbuilt - the hand lifting the dead/dying marines head is greenstuffed - added guitar wire connecting the helmet to the backpack of the apothecary - drilled bullet holes on the dead marines armour - chopped the legs of the dead marine away. - tried to modify the helmet by greenstuffing it - the hand lying in the water is from a bike riding marine all in all I think it turned out good. I'd say you need to be attempting more major conversions, that's frikkin' great! I'd like to say "yoink", but I'm not sure I can get up to par with you...

Doghouse Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Nice question, I've done hundreds over the years but this WIP is my current favourite as it's such a simple conversion of a BoM missile launcher marine. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/DSC02387_00.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/DSC02388_00.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/DSC02389_00.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116052-what-are-your-best-conversions-and-ideas-for-them/page/3/#findComment-1352738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchance, you wouldn't happen to have some before-painting pics of this lovely model, would you? Thanx... But sadly, its been a while and the earlier WIPs are lost in the warp.

Tyrtitan Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The Marneus pic is how it's *going* to look. :P It was just a quick recolour and some bad photoshoppery. In fact, it's going to look better!

l192837465 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 its suprising how many people paint fire backwards... it starts yellow and goes to red at the top... still looks hot though ... pun intended Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116052-what-are-your-best-conversions-and-ideas-for-them/page/3/#findComment-1353828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks though. I really dig your model. Still fantastic even after seeing it for, like, the tenth time. And yes, where did the helmet of your model come from? I don't think I've seen it before...

Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hello folks Here's a MOTRW I knocked together out of some biker bits and some plasticard.

Kikunosuke Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 The head was using the skull helmet with a sculpted brow and faceplate. Nice. Your sculpt work was subtle to the point where I was under the impression that the helmet was a standard GW bit! :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116052-what-are-your-best-conversions-and-ideas-for-them/page/3/#findComment-1356469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymeer Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 My best conversion would probably be this: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h153/SupremeGrandMaster/Marines/IMGP1469.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h153/SupremeGrandMaster/Marines/IMGP1471.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h153/SupremeGrandMaster/Marines/IMGP1472.jpg it's the only major convertion I've ever attempted... this is what I did: - I didn't use the kneeling marine legs, I made these from the ones supplied in the tactical marine box - the narthesium/reductor is scratchbuilt - the hand lifting the dead/dying marines head is greenstuffed - added guitar wire connecting the helmet to the backpack of the apothecary - drilled bullet holes on the dead marines armour - chopped the legs of the dead marine away. - tried to modify the helmet by greenstuffing it - the hand lying in the water is from a bike riding marine all in all I think it turned out good. Outstanding job! And of particular interest to myself, since I have a DIY Chapter using 'Purity Above All' trait. Rymeer I don't know if this counts for this thread, and people have seen it before.... The Crusading Lions Venerable Brother Janos.
