There is so much awesome work in this thread.

Still lots of bits and GS to do but I thought I'd get something up

Hehe squished man. Love it.

 

 Thanks,

I'm planning on making him into some form of imperial Guard, are there any specifics HH wise for their appearance

or can I just GS a trenchcoat on and find a commissar head?

 

Your Captain looks great, where did you get the heads from?

Plague bearers kit (technically I scoured bits and kits for some conversion parts/ideas and found them by accident). I'm also aware that there are some nice dangly heads in one of the skaven kits potentially I want to find too.

 

Those are some nice models Nusquam!

[The Pounder]

This thread has just reinforced the fact that there are some really talented 

individuals on this site!

I can't wait to get my BaC box and try to emulate some of these cracking

conversions.

[Aeternus]

I would like...but I'm out of likes. For the first time in my stay on the BnC :lol:

 

But nevertheless...some lovely (?) stuff there Nusquam, that hand..blade...scythe thing is scaring me, even as a NL player!

[Blindhamster]

very basic changes to the captain to make him into a sergeant (I think i may also do a head swap...) and a heavy weapon change.

I also did a bit of changes to the chaplain, whom is a sternguard sergeant in 40k, seeker sergeant in 30k:

I don't see any Imperial Guard, all I see is Some soldier of the imperial army :D. Like the guard of 40k the soldiers of the imperial army can literally look like anything, well as long as it's humanoid ;).

 

So as I believe I'm getting BAC soon I'm wondering how you guys converted the legs on the contemptors? I hate the static pose of the contemptor as it seems unnatural. I

We'll see what I come up with then!

To manipulate the Contemptor, the more you want to change the posing the more work it involves, the easy parts are cutting him off at the waist and giving him a flat rotation but you can GS the joint to make him lean in any direction, this is the same for the legs as you can take them off at the hip to rotate as required. The knee bend I used was the tricky part as you have to cut around the knee cap to free it. After that you just have to cut and test until you get your desired bend in the knee, note you will make a gap below the knee which you will have to GS in later.

I look forward to seeing what you came up with!

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

I've been working on getting the arms on my BaC contemptor a bit more range of movement and weapon options if you have some leftover bits from a FW version, and did a tutorial on it.

 

Some examples to show other options, more range of movement, etc:

Nice Tutorial mate, very helpful

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

So I have manage to Finish Assembling the Contemptor, I may still add things to the model but the majority of the work for it has been done. I hope you enjoy it!

There is still plenty more to come but it may take a while.

[Black Cohort]

That skull helmet contemptor is awesome

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

That skull helmet contemptor is awesome

Thanks!

 

It's just a mould of the latest BA chaplain's head after it has been trimmed down a bit, I think plenty other skull helms would also do the trick!

[Arac]

Some nice Inspiration here.

WIP Lord Chaplain Nomus Rhy'tan of the Salamanders... wielding Darkstar Falling, his master-crafted warhammer.

Thoughts on what more I should do to improve him will be appreciated.

 

Considering swapping out that plasma pistol for the wargear specified for him.

Edit: pic from a different angle

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

Perhaps include a dragon skull somewhere? I'd suggest part of the hammer if possible, such that you would be hitting enemies of the imperium with a salamander's skull.

The only other part model wise would be either a scaled loincloth or if you could put scales onto the models cloak. 

Also a Pretty Base always helps a model look good! 

[Zebulon]

Thanks for the reply NPNRNF!

 

I may try your skull idea - one of the wolf skulls might get dragonified for that.

 

I probably will try to do scales on the cloak yes.

 

And yes, the basing I always do last which seems to be different from most people!

[Brother Stonebridge]

Sorry for the poor Quality of photo.

 

Really simple conversion of a weapon change.  Will probably cut the plasmagun off for a Combi.

[Charlo]

@Julius you may have some luck with bits in the Lizardmen /Dark Elf ranges? :)

[apologist]

Had a crack at converting the Catahractii and giving them a more dynamic set of poses to go with the Lightning Claws:

 

...and then decided I'd make use of the spare bits to give Aethon a different pose.

 

The Mark IV work nicely with the resin conversion parts, too:
