AlexCrute Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 That non gw head is a gw chaos raptor head. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 That's quite a horde! I see a lot of very nostalgia-inspiring stuff in there. The best of luck with their salvaging and retasking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen2410 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 @AlexCrute oh ok lol my cousin and gw staff at my local gw told me it was non gw :/ so i always assumed it was non gw lol @Kierdale ah thanks :D, i was actually given the vast majority of the retro stuff for free by a freind who was going to bin it! (at the time he more than doubled my army when i was just starting out !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hahaha...I'm using that exact same turret as your converted Baal! But I kept the original gun and using it as a normal predator turret. This seems like quite the project. Lets hope you have an understanding family =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen2410 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 ok so there wont be updates for a while because i have run out of isopropyl alcohol (for paint stripping) and im waiting for some in the post but as i said in my first post on this forum i plan on making all the older models (1st and 2nd edition) however i want to convert them to make them look less single posed has anyone else ever done this and can they link me to pictures ? thanks in advance that would be great :( (im really stuck for inspiration how to convert them lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen2410 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 ok so since il be waiting a while i decided to work on the "death company" models ive already stripped i havnt added any extra gubbins yet but ive reposed and converted them (and quite happy with the results :) ) here are the first 5 ive worked on http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa347/Owen2410/DSC_0018.jpg all together (sorry for the craptastic quality of my pics btw they look a lot better on my phone :/) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa347/Owen2410/DSC_0022-1.jpg the first one i did (repositioned to look like hes firing his bolter and bolt pistol to the right of him) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa347/Owen2410/DSC_0023-1.jpg this one i made to look like hes reloading his bolter kinda movie style http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa347/Owen2410/DSC_0024-1.jpg this one i guess is like a sergeant but i dont really like him so will probably give a head and pistol swap at some point (i was going for the look like hes about to punch somone but it didnt work) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa347/Owen2410/DSC_0025-1.jpg this one is kinda plain and simple but i pointed the gun down so its a bit different from the norm http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa347/Owen2410/DSC_0026-1.jpg and this one is probably my favourite (also a better sergeant) hes reposed to hold his bolter up and he looks like hes giving an order to his squad, i was origionally going to make him strangling someone but i dont have a model that will work and the arm is probably too weak too so he will most likely be sergeant so what do you think of my first efforts, do you like the conversions and do you think more of the same will be good ? ps: can anyone tell me how to update the subtitle (to let people know ive done something easier lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
