captain sox Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hello, Just going through my DV box, and man I love this set. I'm looking at some of the DA models and it appears some conversions are possible with the Terminators and PA Marines. I haven't done anything yet, but if you have, post em up! Tell us what you did and how difficult it is to do. Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260893-dark-vengeance-conversions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Cyanide Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I've so far done a few conversions to the DV models as I have no intention of fielding any loyalists. Introducing the First Legion: The Fallen Angels http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Fallen-Group.jpg Champ: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Fallen-Champ.jpg Beakie: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Fallen-Beakie.jpg Bolter: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Fallen-Marine.jpg Reaper: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Fallen-Reaper.jpg I scraped all of the chest wings off with my scalpel, dremmeled off the Tac Squad shoulder pads and replaced them with Chaos pads, Dremmeled out some of the heads and replaced them with Chaos heads, removed all purity seals, Dremeled out some of the legs and replaced with Chaos ones, Chaos backpacks all around and the Plasma Cannon guy got a Reaper Auttocannon (will count as a regular auttocannon in game) as chaos doesn't have man portable Plasma Cannons... The Beaky guy also had his whole torso front dremmeled off and replaced with a Chaos Chest with chain mail tabard. Fairly extensive conversions for these guys. I also did a couple of conversions on the Chaos side as well: Lord: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Alpha-Arkos.jpg A simple gun swap. I am going to be using him as Arkos the Faithless from IA 6 Siege of Vraks, and Arkos has a combi melta, so the plasma pistol had to go. Dark Apostle: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Alpha-Apostle.jpg This guy basicly got his helmet swapped out for a book. Also a fairly simple conversion. Bolter Twin: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Alpha-Twin-1.jpg This guy got the helmet from the Apostles hand! This conversion was a little more complicated than the other Chaos ones as I had to build the back of the helmet and carefully remove the Apostles thumb from the helmet without wrecking any detail. That's it so far, but the Ravenwing will be getting similar treatment to the Fallen Angels above, and the CC Cultists might wind up with Forge World Renegade Autogun arms, not sure about them yet. I'm also not sure if I'll be able to effectively Chaosify the Deathwing, Company Master and Libby, but I'm feeling somewhat positive about the Librarian. Edit to add Sorcerer: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/fallen-sorcerer.jpg Just a quick Arm swap. CSM Bolter Left arm, Chaos Lord Staff, Lord Familar, Sorcerer backpack. He's also got a Tzeentch shoulder pad on his left arm from the CSM champ sprue.

Cpt_Reaper Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Simple head swap of the Company Master. Yes...my knee had the best lighting in the house. I am still surprised how good my phone is. I can clearly tell that it my mate's An'ggrath sitting on the tv unit.

Grotsmasha Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Here's my Ravenwing Librarian, It was fairly straight forward, hobby saw off the legs of the Libby, tidy with clippers then knife, glue to bike. Add some grenades and pouches. Actually modelling, from sprue to this was less than an hour half.

NemFX Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edit: stupid photobucket) Shrike counts-as from the Chaos guy with the lightning claws. Shaved down his shoulderpad, added a Blood Angels jump pack. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture020.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture022.jpg A few marines, arm swaps, added gear like cloaks, nothing too crazy for them just yet.. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture023.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture024.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture025.jpg And the part that I have been having the most fun with. Cultists turned wastelander themed scouts: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture029.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture026.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture027.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/nemfx/dvc/Picture028.jpg The heavy weapons guy is going to eventually look more like the Blastmaster Raider. The card armour is going to end up looking like leather or plasteel. Haven't decided yet. They have gotten part swaps from scouts and guardsmen..

PipX Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Has anyone else had the thought to convert the DA captain to a Dark Apostle? Shaving down his DA iconography and maybe replacing the sword blade with a hueg mace, and head, makes me think space Pope.

Raven of the Wing Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ive converted the librarian onto a ravenwing sergeant bike, will post pics later, question though...what colour would a librarians bike be? should it be from the chapter (green), ravenwing (black)or blue as per his power armour? pics. http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh543/raven-sco/Conversions/lib-rw-1_zpsccce6df0.jpg http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh543/raven-sco/Conversions/lib-rw-2_zps53ad3cce.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260893-dark-vengeance-conversions/#findComment-3186136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I've done mine in the RW black, as current DA fluff dictates that there are no bikes or speeders outside or the RW. As the Librarian technically isn't RW there'd be potential for the bike to be blue.

tvih Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm currently contemplating converting DV models to Black Templars. Originally I intended to field them as allies, but as I don't like green tacticals and in general preferring to just field Templars over Dark Angels I've been reconsidering my stance not to take the knife to the models to convert them. I'll likely not touch the Company Master or Librarian, seeing as the CM is a bit too robe-y to fit aesthetically, and we don't have filthy psyk... ehh, librarians. The model itself is nice, but probably too tricky to make into anything useful for BT. Of the tactical marines, I'm unsure yet. I suppose I could always use more models if the need arises, but it'd still take a while to erase the iconography from both shoulders (as compared to one shoulder on the AoBR models, and even then I hated doing it), and that still leaves some of the chest swords. On the terminators the swords are acceptable, since BT terminators are, after all, called Sword Brethren so it kinda fits. Also probably going to try to convert the feathers into purity seals, or if that fails, just cut them off and replace with actual purity seals. Oh, and the Bikes. I'd like to have some, but without paying 10 euros each. There's not a huge amount of things to file off there I guess, main problem might be the front wings. They seem quite "integrated." The thing I'm really unsure about though is the Chaplain. Because it's Limited, I'm hesitant to take it off the sprue, let alone start converting it. It's silly, I know! If I were more confident in my conversion abilities it'd be one thing, but if I mess it up... ugh. No cheap second chances without buying an entire new box (and who knows for how long you can still find those). But then again if I don't use him, what's the point in having him other than as a display model? And I'd rather have a playable and display model at the same time. I suppose the conversion itself shouldn't be a huge undertaking - with sandpaper get rid of the cloak icon (the trickiest part), and then smooth out the pistol arm's shoulderpad as well. Finally, change the head of the Crozius to a non-DA one. Of course I could just use him as is, but it's just a bit silly-feeling to use a model with the wrong darn iconography <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260893-dark-vengeance-conversions/#findComment-3186503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Right, gave one bike a go so far, as well as a bit of effort on the chaplain. Didn't "break" anything with the chaplain yet though, but the plasma rifle bike has its fenders and and rider cleansed of the symbols of the lesser chapter :) Just trying to decide on the wing thingies. I was considering using the rear one as a "flag pole", so cut away the feathers and make a flag with a templar cross on it in its place. The front wings I am trying to convert to an armor plate by evening the feathers to an even armor plate surface, since I feel that just cutting them out entirely would make the front of the bike a bit... empty.

Wraithwing Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I've converted the Chaplain from the DV box set, as I wasn't to keen on the original miniature.

tvih Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Well I took the plunge and converted the Chaplain. I already posted him in my own thread, but I guess I could spam him here too. http://www.tvih.net/stuff/wh40k/chaplain2-tableready1.jpg He's lacking some finishing touches, but the majority of the work was done. Took me over six hours. Yes, I'm really that slow. Next in line would be the bikes or the terminators. Probably the latter.

Danny Cyanide Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I decided to raid my bitz box and Chaos up the Dark Vengeance Terminators. I have built a couple FW Chaos Termie kits, so I had a ton of Chaos bitz to use on them! Mould lines will be cleaned before painting! I've removed DA symbols, but left purity seals on them as I will be painting these guys as Word Bearers, and parchment is an acceptable decoration: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Word-Bearer-Termies.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Word-Bearer-Termies-2.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Word-Bearer-Termies-3.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Word-Bearer-Termies-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260893-dark-vengeance-conversions/#findComment-3194016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
