Warsmith Aznable Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'll post what is probably my most ambitious conversion. It's a favorite if not the best. A year later and I still haven't got around to (finishing) painting it, but here are a couple photos of it before I started: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/twinlinkedbolter-option.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/defiler-comparison.jpg It was going to be a Daemon Prince, but turned out too large. It's kind of big for a Defiler, though I use it as one sometimes. I tried to write some DIY rules for it back before I understood the rules very well, as an HQ choice, an Iron Warrior tech-priest gone completely around the bend with Daemonic Engineering. I might dust it off, finish painting it and have another crack at writing some rules for it soon.

TheDarkApostle Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Nihm, you taunt me so :D Well, first of we have the infamous Deus Iblis of the Crusade for Anitoc AoD campaign, who feature my first major green stuff work Being based on the then brand new Lucius model I had both the feet re-sculpted from hoofs to power armored boots, then I had to rebuild the neck area after removing the original head so I could put on a helmet instead. Then it was just a matter of putting on the rest of the parts. Parts: Metal Lucius Chaos Space Marine Champion power weapon + should pads Chaos Space Marine bolt pistol arm Chaos Space Marine backpack with Champion pole Khorne Berserker "t-helmet" with bunny ears removed Greenstuff http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d81/TheDarkApostle/Word%20Bearers/PICT67372.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d81/TheDarkApostle/Word%20Bearers/PICT7223.jpg Then there's the first of my Obliterators who featured some of my first large scale reposing and my second real re-sculpting work. The real work on this model was to cut him up properly, (feet, lower legs, upper legs, pelvis, arms) and then put everything back together and get him a good pose. Over the years I've added a bit of this and a bit of that to him Parts: Metal Obliterator Plastic Purity Seals from the Space Marine range Plastic shield from the Black Templar upgrade sprue Chainsword from the Berserker box Plastic mantle from unknown fantasy battle model Greenstuff Upper arms from plastic Assault Terminators http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d81/TheDarkApostle/Word%20Bearers/PICT6794.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d81/TheDarkApostle/Word%20Bearers/PICT6808.jpg Then of course we have my latest project, a Dark Apostle in Terminator armor, at first I began with the metal chaplain in terminator armor and sawed him in two to removed to upper body, then I started a removing all Imperial symbols on him and replaced them with symbols of chaos. After that I filed down the purity seals on the right leg so I could greenstuff a pair of trims on the legs, at the same time I also re-made the "butt" piece of him in green stuff. Then I covered him in arcane looking stuff and put on the tome I had prepped by removing the Inquisitorial symbol that were originally on it and putting on a chaos star instead. Then I build his Crozius from the Chaos Lord sorcerer staff's lower parts and added the top part which I had gotten from an old metal Dark Elf sorceress years ago. Then I fixed up the missile launcher hand by carefully separating the fingers so I could pose the hand a little bit differently. Originally I wanted one of the new Grey Knight terminator hands but in lack of economics of buy a box of them I had to make do with what I could find in the bits box. :) After that it was just a matter of putting everything together and posing him. Parts used: Metal Chaplain in terminator armor Front, Back chest piece, sorcerer trophy racks and cloth piece from the Chaos terminator Lord box Head from the Chaos Terminator box Book from an Inquisitorial cherub henchman Hourglass and key on chains from the Empire Flagellant box Several chaos stars from the marauder horsemen box Chaos terminator sorcerer staff Top from an old Dark Elf sorceress' staff Metal Nurgling from the Typhus model Grenades/orbs from the Black Templar upgrade sprue Part of flooring on old 3'rd Edition ruins Parts from the limited edition Cities of Death basing box Left hand from Space Marine missile launcher Model chain Green stuff TDA Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234731-inspirational-friday-22072011/#findComment-2826095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 This is my biggest and only conversion in my army. The eye on his chest is cut out of a Terminator shoulderpad and the whole body is greenstuffed, the legs and waist are also made bigger with greenstuf to make him a bit taller then the normal Terminators.

Sangneur Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 My goodness, there are some amazing conversions here! I was proud of my oblitterator conversions, wherein I added some extra flesh, and a headed tentacle, but these are just leagues apart. But I still have to post something.... My camera isn't here, but I'll post pictures when I get it. In the mean time, Brother Nihm, I don't suppose you'd be willing to tell me how you made the armour/jetpack trim on that raptor would you? It looks excellent, and I've been modeling trim (on orks, so I can't post it here. :() with greenstuff, which is REALLY time consuming, and the results are not so good. Yours look maddeningly good, so I'm hoping there is a guide somewhere.

Sgt. Tiberus Satio Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I may not be a Chaos lover, but as a hobbiest I applaud each one of you on your conversions. I enjoy seeing the capabilities a mind can just touch on and create wonderful works of art that will strike fear into a human. My hat is off to you gents.

cathar the great Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I'll bite. My demon machine was probably the most work since it's not actually based on a kit but assembled from whatever part I could make fit. http://tortureentertainment.blogsport.de/images/Thing11.jpg http://tortureentertainment.blogsport.de/images/Thing12.jpg More pictures on my blog, if anyone is interested: The demon walks... and the demon walks on... If we go with painted conversions, it would have to be my Chaos Sorcerer on Jetbike. It was the first creation of mine I showed here on the B&C and I'm still rather proud of it: Gotta take good pictures of this thing sometime...
