Dave the Twisted Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 While the AoBR box is indeed a wonderful kit for new and old players, sometimes you really don't need another BP/CCW Sergeant or perhaps one of those new sets of Terminator armor are more deserved by a company captain who's just returned from a hugely successful crusade. Maybe that Dreadnought just needed a little extra something. ((Or perhaps a very big, Seismic Hammer-sized something. You know who you are)) The Librarian I made from the Termie Sergeant also heralds my first real use of Greenstuff so the quality isn't as good as I'd have liked, but it looks like a Libby so I'm happy. http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/braintick42/SDC11037.jpg http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/braintick42/SDC11038.jpg http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/braintick42/SDC11039.jpg http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/braintick42/SDC11040.jpg http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/braintick42/SDC11041.jpg In all honesty I kinda cheated since everything but the force weapon was carved out of already-cured GS. The other conversions I did were far simpler.

Saphos Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Cool topic. I try to post some pictures tomorrow. You can spice up the AoBR quite nicely with some extra work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Looking very good, with a good paintjob looks like they'll come out very nicely indeed. And here's my converted AOBR Dreadnought to look like a venerable: Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingo Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Here's my dread: I also converted the tactical and terminator squads, but don't have pictures of them yet. I left the captain in my bitz box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of Old Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 @ Dave; Thanks for showing me your =][= Lord, after I saw the picture I thought to myself that this could be made easy "count as" Sicarius model. My conversion won't be as fancy as few others showed in this topic, but can't wait to start with it. I also converted my dread, though only swapping melta cannon with old tin assault-cannon.

UltraRich Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Heres mine.

Dave the Twisted Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Bravo gentlemen. These Dreads are just beautiful! I'm particularly stunned by Vaaish's. How the heck did you make that? And Sowrd Brethren's leaves me awestruck every time I see it. Anyone wanna share secrets to their success? *is a shameless tutorial mooch* But does this mean nobody did anything with their infantry? Edit: Seems Rich did, he just snuck in while I was typing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaaish Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Dave: I don't really have a tutorial for how I did it since most of my modeling falls into the intuitive rather than fully planned category. Ie. I start with a basic idea of where I'm going and up shapes and detail from there. What I do have are the construction pics showing the plasticard and GS layers. You should be able to deconstruct what I did from those. Overall I think I used mostly plasticard strip in various widths and some 1mm sheets to fabricate things like the ankh. If you are interested in those, they start here. They is some epic stuff in between, but there aren't too many large jumps between updates.

Barret Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Not much of a mod to this dread, just making a heavy flamer and the lettering on the sarcophagus. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/ElcidBarret/TSwords3Co/3CoDread1-WIP1.jpg Slightly reposed the leg on this guy and used a spare TLLC. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/ElcidBarret/TSwords3Co/3CoDread2-WIP1.jpg Gave the Captain a SS and AGL: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/ElcidBarret/TSwords3Co/3CoCaptain-WIP1.jpg New weapon for the Sarge, and reoriented the heads on the rest. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/ElcidBarret/TSwords3Co/3Co3Sqd-WIP1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saphos Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 My pictures: 3 Sergeants (I like the one in the middle best). Simple but effective conversions: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4663249324/ Assault-Terminators (bodies AoBR): http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4662628639/ Venerable Dread (adding a couple of bits goes a long way): http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4288267291/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cplhicks/4289009080/ Nothing too fancy all in all but you can well see how good a basis the models are for doing something nice with them. For the cheap price they come to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
