chaplainmikey Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi, You could convert Terminators to represent Obliterators. GS thier arms and graft the usuable weapons onto thier armour. Terminatore-> Oblit conversions look pretty cool if done welll,you just have to use your imagination when it comes to mounting the weapons.A good place is on thier shoulders and forearms. Good luck, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Thoughts Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 There are some threads here about terminator-> obliterator conversions. I know I asked this very same question a few months back and got some lovely WIP images for inspiration. Unfortunately, I've yet to get around to my heavy support.

jackmatt Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I agree with TheDarkApostle upright obliterators are the way to go. But even though the oblit models are on the bad side pose wise, I think the worst model GW has ever produced is Blood Angels Chaplain Lemartes, It just makes me need to puke ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olgerth Istaarn Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I built four Loyalist Obliterators last week. They aren't completely WYSIWYG, but they look the part. I started with a Terminator body + Cyclone Missile Launcher. For the left arm, I took a Loyalist chainfist and chopped off the chainblade, then replaced it with a flamer nozzle, now it's a "flamefist". For the right arm, I mangled a couple of Chaos Heavy Flamers a bit and stuck nozzles from a vehicle Multimeltas on them. Alternately, I took a Terminator Assault Cannon, cut off the barrels and replaced them with a vehicle-sized Lascannon barrel. The Cyclone launcher represents the plasma cannon/TL plasma gun (it fires modular missiles: either half the payload and a guiding module, or the full payload and no guiding module). The powerfist is what it is, the flamer is what it is. The right arm represents lascannon and , TL melta or multi-melta. I call it "Inferno Cannon". It either fires a long-distance beam that loses some AP power over the distance (lascannon), or a mid-distance high-AP beam (multi-melta), or two short, close-range blasts (TL melta). I also stuck on the Assault Terminator groin plates and heraldry pads to make them look bulkier and heavier and visually suggest "slow and purposeful" (he's very heavy so he doesn't walk very fast). I realize it's a touch... unconventional, but the end result looks sufficient to convey the message: this is a heavily armored, terminator-like dude with a lot of built-in weapons. I'll post some pictures next week if there's interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahveel Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 here are my WIP oblits, converted from old DE cold ones and many random gubbins. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/Rahveel/40k/Log/SANY0780.jpg seriously, oblits can be converted from anything. have fun, and go to town on them!

chillin Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 2 idaes 1- DP or some other kind of daemon like the DP's in the daemon dex 2- Robed wraith or "grim reapers" type figures, casting death. I rather like this one. maybe models from WHFB undead or tomb kings modified in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I saw someone do conversions on Normal CSM with glued on weapons and tech with jurry rigged greenstuff. They looked like crap but they got the point across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Lord Dred Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Aside from the price tag, and a few gaps (nothing GS cant handle), I really dont have a problem with the obliterator model. Infact, I like them. Im surprised to see so many people hate on it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David the Despoiler Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'd gladly use the Oblit models if I had the means through which to repose them. The "straightened" oblits look simply fantastic. I'm actually anxiously waiting the new plastic DP and then use that to convert my Oblits. My weapons? Leftovers from various vehicles/squads.

I rather like this one. maybe models from WHFB undead or tomb kings modified in some way. The grim reaper idea, i like, may just have to do that. But here my ideas * A mini soul grinder or defiler(I really like this idea) * maybe something like Frankenstein, made out of orges from warhammer and some extra gun bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I like the frankensrein orgre idea also (maybe b/c I'm reading "mechanum" right now) I don't know how well the "defiler" would wk since it is a vehicle so it wouldn't match the stats of oblits very well, also sounds like alot of wk to scratch build a mini defiler.

Hilhog0 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 How about putting gs'd tank tracks onto a a suitably demonesque body with a snippy powerclaw (possibly defiler or is it too big...?) and a circle of flamers/ other weapons gauntlet mounted round a power fist? P.S. Woot 1st post with new sig! Whadda you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWinds Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Everyone love Obliterator, well most sane chaos general do. There stats are awesome, you can have 3 for 1 heavy slot but the models has to be the worst GW ever made. That is my opinion and i`m looking for a replacemet models that are tourements legal. I play WB and need ideas. Thanks for reading You should have played when their stats were even better(S&T 5), and they were elites. I'll try to remember where I put them, but I have pictures of regular marines that have weapons growing out of them. They were my havoks, but I don't see why they couldn't be obliterators.

pierre Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hello, I made mine to avoid the GW models wich don't fit with my army history. I used chaos terminator and one box of plastic devastators...and few other parts. and now pics: http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o64/Luinsil/aerin%20lords/th_obli1.png http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o64/Luinsil/aerin%20lords/th_obli2.png http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o64/Luinsil/aerin%20lords/th_obli3.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dràyhèn Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yeah, sure those termies and alternatives would look nice and technically speaking appropriate, but those just beat the fluff and take away the "obliterator" feeling, really. Though I too admit that they could be little better done, I can still use them without feeling sad. That "upright" technique looks like the best alternative you can get. I long for the day when GW releases oblits like in 3.ed codex entry. They look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
