ron Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I finished another conversion this past week that I thought I would post here for folks to see. I've got a bit more of an explanation on how I built him on my blog found here.

Myxx Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Bravo! Very nice work. I like the dynamic pose, it conveys lots of motion. My only problem is the mohawk. Everytime I see a mohawk, I expect to see a matching set of fangs...

Always nice to see your stuff Ron, its fantastic and I just wish I had your skill (and likely patience) to get my minis looking like this. I have to agree with the above though not because I expect to see a Space Wolf. When I look at this mini I dont see an Adeptus Custodes and I think its because he doesnt have the helmet. I know all Custodes dont wear the helmet all the time but I think they are defined by it.

ron Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 The helmet is a very iconic piece of equipment for these guys, no doubt about it. The Client and I went with the unhelmeted head with the mowhawk instead. It made the conversion a bit tougher since I could not rely on that "helmet" to really carry the model, but I'd like to think it's going to be a success once it gets painted as the coloring of the model (reds and golds) will help define it as well. Tanks for the honest feedback. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231068-adeptus-custode-conversion/#findComment-2778661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJjester Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hello, I am the guy who ordered the conversion from Ron. I believe that the paint job is going to carry the model, as the signature gold is also a pretty recognizable trait. As far as the conversion work goes, it is top notch. I will definitley post a picture when I'm done painting it.

Interrogator Stobz Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Love the GS work on the back tabard. Very smooth work :D Agreed, any chance of a quick look at the tools etc you use/tutorial? my GS work is often rough and takes ages to correct ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231068-adeptus-custode-conversion/#findComment-2781306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Very nice model. The pose is nice and dynamic and the conversion work is well worth the effort by the looks of things. I think I might borrow one or two ideas for my Custodes.
