Delvarus Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hello All, I have recently been thinking that many of the named characters from the first 3 books are likely to never have models produced for them. The more famous guys (looking at Khârn, Typhon and Erebus here) are catered for so far but, how about Shabran Darr?, Durak Rask? Autek Mor? Exodus? The list goes on, how about we use this thread to show everyone else our conversions and kit bashes of these Heroes/ Villains and get the creative juices flowing. I am working on Kyr Vhalen Waiting on his backpack with servo arm to show up and Mk III Iron warrior pads but hope you get the idea.

Reyner Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 That looks pretty cool - there was a rumour that the characters would be made as we would be seeing a mini for Golg soon (well I guess he is in a Black Library book). We need a Paramar heresy novel quick! (Preferably written by AD-B or John French).

Atia Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Here's my Durak Rask of the Death Guard: http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/durakrask3g2qv7sli5.jpg That looks pretty cool - there was a rumour that the characters would be made as we would be seeing a mini for Golg soon (well I guess he is in a Black Library book).

Noctem Cultor Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have to admit I love the models that are coming out to much to make my own, only to buy the FW versions when they come out and discard mine. I'm thinking of building some stand in models but only in gear rather than look and character.

Kronos Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Delvarus, the bolter is no longer there, decided to switch and gave it abaddon, so not sure yet what to replace it with, maybe another axe. http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n431/Titanicus_Kronos/Heresy/SDC17584_zps0dbb9d89.jpg as Delvarus used Abaddons body, and my Triarii used justaerin plate, I had to make my owb abaddon and justaerin plate to distinguish. http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n431/Titanicus_Kronos/Heresy/DSCN8472_zps9b714e03.jpg The Raven, still unfinished, need add hair, I know there's no rules for him, but I like the idea of a Raven Guard Pet . http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n431/Titanicus_Kronos/Heresy/DSCN8531_zps0c26e168.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297780-named-character-conversions/#findComment-3829479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dono1979 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've attempted an Alexis Polux conversion (keeping in mind that my main army is Templar themed); main elements I wanted to include was: - The Combi Melta - His ability to swing the Power Fist @ Initiative (so wanted something slightly different than a normal PF). - Giant among Astartes size through his description - Storm Shield An early WIP to try and get the size and layout sorted: http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/SAM_2683_zps43c75be3.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/SAM_2681_zps4b17755e.jpg The final product (greenstuff was cleaned up post pic, now being painted) http://i.imgur.com/bQgVcxi.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297780-named-character-conversions/#findComment-3829640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delvarus Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Fantastic work all round people. I hope they do release some of the lesser known characters but at the moment I just cannot see that happening. The Solar Auxilia will take the spot light at warhammer fest and I am hoping that we see another primarch (heard Pertuarbo is next), but I think we will be lucky to see any marines. It would be nice of course to see the named squads for the Alpha Legion, Raven Guard and Iron Warriors.

Balthamal Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It was said previously that any character not covered by BL wouldn't see a model and as for those who's legions haven't been covered they'd be put on the back burner. Just the way it goes unfortunately Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297780-named-character-conversions/#findComment-3831834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Garro over on Heresy30k said this: FW are well aware of the desire to see more of the Character series. as such, edgar and simon are now only doing primarchs, the non-primarchs have been moved over to 4 other sculptors to do between other projects, this means that FW are now able to do the FW created characters and plan to get the ENTIRE backlog of named characters done. (this will take a lot of time). their being prioritised by characters that 'stand out' from the rank and file, so if the character has unique wargear or armour, or just really fancy armour, then their getting done first, (so remaining characters from book1 are low priority.) however dynat was named as one about to be started.

Hyaenidae Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Personally, I like that they don't make models of every character, similar to their Badab books. So many amazing conversions come from such inspiration to fill the blanks. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297780-named-character-conversions/#findComment-3831849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I agree that people come up with some amazing conversions. For those that want an official model however, FW is planning to EVENTUALLY do models.

fission Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think that the old miniature of Chaplain Xavier of the salamanders would be a good one to represent chaplain Nomus Rhy'tan of the salamanders , and that was the point of FW creator since the beginning Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297780-named-character-conversions/#findComment-3832188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delvarus Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I for one am glad that they have not done them all yet, as we get to see the HH community get creative. I of course would like them to get round to all of them eventually but i also think everyone who has posted pics so far are doing just fine without them. Bravo!
