+Burning of Prospero: Conversions & Ideas for the New Box+

[Major_Gilbear]

So with the new Burning Prospero box released this weekend, and in the vein of the older BaC thread here, I thought it was time for a new thread for conversions of the models in the new HH box.

I personally found the earlier thread really inspirational, and I am sure that some eager folks have already managed some great-looking conversions - so let's see them please!

It looks like the hands will fit both MK3 and Mk4 so you could use say the flamer on the MK3 Marines.

This is true ^

[Rune Priest Ridcully]

I'm planning to try and make some MKIII Noise marines/kakaphoni

[Aeternus]

Some bad pictures, but hopefully good looking models!

 

[IronDrake28]

That sorcerer is incredible. :O

[Quixus]

Wow, that sorcerer is great. I'm not so sure about the dreadnought greave shield, though.Otherwise the modle looks nice as well.

 

Where is the blade on the sorcerer's weapon from?

[aa.logan]

I was hoping to use the Custodes vexilla hand on the tartaros terminators for a command squad standard bearer, but it was looking like too much work to be worthwhile.

 

I have, however, used the plasma blaster on a BaC terminator and it fits really well.

[Soldier of Dorn]

Should have a few slight conversions/kitbashes by the end of the week, just need to play around with the models proper a little bit more.

 

I do have to say, though (and I've said it several other places) but damn, the Mark 3 armor is sexy.

 

... just remembered, I actually do already sorta have a Prospero-based conversion that I did yesterday. The main body of the model isn't quite finished yet, so that'll have to wait a couple days.

Thanks :) Quixus, what is it that puts you off the shield, ooi? The blade is from one of the Varanguard spears

Mostly a chainglaive and shield looks weird to me. While a polearm and a shield isn't unheard of, the way he is holding the glaive does not look like he would use a shield. Secondly the shield curves too much around the arm (more like an ill-fitting bracer than a shield) .

[Black Cohort]

My BoP minis will be getting a decent number of conversions.  But at least the tartaros terminators seem like they need to be painted in about 5 pieces so it could be a bit before I have anything to show.  Especially since all my 30k Salamander terminators have scaled cloaks and that is a two day process in and of itself.

[Noctus Cornix]

Still a work in progress (need to do some green stuff work and add my purity seals) but here's two Tartaros Terminators I've made so far for my Word Bearers.

 

Also, sorry for the really :cussty picture quality. Just made them in a rush.

 

 

[Soldier of Dorn]

WHY CAN I ONLY LIKE THAT ONCE.

 

Seriously, Noctis, you've outdone yourself with these guys. Chaos Knight shoulder pads, I assume?

[Noctus Cornix]

So, in a small fit of inspiration after watching a certain show's season premiere, I fixed up the Sergeant for the Squad, and I am damn proud of him, honestly.

 

Two words to give you a hint at who he's inspired by.

 

 

No Exceptions..

Here's a couple of bits I've been toying around with so far, still very WIP. Sorry for the bad pics. I've got builders in atm, so no access to my normal lighting.


First up is a model designed to pull double duty as a Tartaros Sergeant or a Librarian as needed.

This one is less based off the box, using the DV Master model instead, but I made good use of Ahriman's helmet. I'm calling this guy a Pyrea Astromancer (used as a Master of Signal).

... Dude.

Thats just...

 

 

Best terminator ever.

[Brother Dallo]

I'm considering stealing the Custodes' shields to make some fancy looking Emperor's Children breachers. Posing might be a bit awkward with no gap in the shield for the bolter, but I'll give it a go.

What do you guys reckon about using the Tigrus bolters from Betrayal at Calth on the MKIII marines?  Would they look to small?

 

I kinda prefer them to the ones in the Prospero box, plus I'm having a nightmare clipping them from the sprue - The part which attaches the top of the bolter to the sprue in particular

Tigrus fits just fine and looks smooth.

[JeffJedi]

Where exactly do you put the ammo clips on the new mk3? I've had a hard time with them. Also note that the chainswords go over the butt plate hanging of the belt and not from the bottom of the backpack like the swords with the mk3.

[Marshal Rohr]

I don't have the kit yet, but Ive had success with attaching pouches to the thigh to make room for other gear.

I've been trying for so long to fit them to the back packs and now feel like an idiot.

[Quixus]

Is that some xenos appendage the one terminator has instead of a power fist?

Gal Vorbak, I reckon.
