Mitsman Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 This is a very old conversion / kitbash but was one of my first inspirations once 3rd edition hit around 1999. Basically I wanted Marneus wit the trophies on his backpack and since the model was metal and I was a student with limited monies, there was no way I would risk the leg pose, so I changed only the backpack... I will retouch this model at some point as it was one of my favorites of that era.

Son of Carnelian Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Ooh! I forgot about that wonderful piece of art. You did a great job bringing it to life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykes Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) hmm, guess I never did post it here. Well, I like going through Visions for inspirations (and some great 30K cover art) so I eventually came out with this as the 'lead-in' miniature for one of my veteran squads from Vengeful Spirit's cover. I'd have put the pauldron on the other side but, y'know, right-left post Terra tradition.

Ironwrought Huw Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is such a great thread! All that warm nostalgia feeling and the great skill on show. This is my offering, an homage to my all time favourite bit of character art. (Anyone know who painted it?) Slightly tweaked, with a chapter change from Ultramarines to Imperial Fists. The bionic leg? Well, I am an Iron Hand at heart... One day I'll post something that doesn't have a servo-arm...

Magos Takatus Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 That's a really nice bionic leg. Was that from an AT model? That would be really useful when I get round to Magos conversions. Ironwrought Huw 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwrought Huw Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks! And yes, it's from the knights kit, although the knee was reposed slightly. The legs are just about the same height as a Primaris marine's legs. The arms and elbows should also provide you with ample bionic conversion potential.

Brother Christopher Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Ironwrought Huw, amazing execution! And your selection of artwork is spot on, too. I find this particular piece of artwork to be one of the coolest depictions of Techmarines out there. Your conversion is something you can and should feel proud of!

Warbringer Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Was looking at a new 2020 project with Iron Warriors and finding this artwork and reminding myself about Honsou the iron warriors seemed to fit the bill. I was lucky that this path had been tread and there is a couple of great conversions out there already by spedgeyminis and megzike from instragram that helped me with part selection.

Kolgrim DeathHowl Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I haven't gotten around to painting it since I just dug the model out of storage over Thanksgiving Weekend. But I always liked this artwork and back when I did this in the early 2000's my converting skills were pretty basic but this is what I came up with.

Magos Takatus Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Why does the original models hand look strange? Is it a set of digital weapons built into his gauntlet? Regardless, that's an amazing homage, it's a really faithful one at that. Spaced Hulk 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakshow668 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Spaced Hulk, I absolutely love what you've done there, that was always my favourite of the old skool captain models and you've done an amazing job of creating an updated version.

dice4thedicegod Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I only got back into the hobby a couple of years ago after a quarter century break. One of 5he first things I noticed was that the quality of miniatures had increased (along with the price)... except for the keeper of secrets, which was awful (this is before the latest version came out). So I made my own, harking back to the slaves to darkness era that I come from: The original: Mine (relatively poor paint job, as it was when I was first getting back into things) Shinespider, Slave to Darkness, Grotsmasha and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 That's a lot nicer than the model it was intended to replace. The new plastic one is pretty amazing though, isn't it? :) How did you build it? I don't recognize any parts barring the unfortunate eldar one the base.

There’s a reaper bones Minotaur demon lord as the base, additional arms provided from reapers Wolf demon. The sword is GW daemon prince kit.

dice4thedicegod Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Back in the day, the bloodthirster was more canine looking. My favorite bloodthirster art from the original slaves to darkness book was: When I chose a head for my bloodthirster conversion, i kept that in mind: As a side note: I used the same base body (Minotaur demon lord) for my keeper of secrets and bloodthirster- hopefully not too obvious once painted!
