Dr. Ruminahui's assorted conversions

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Thanks, @Valkia the Bloody and @Brother Anderson - I'm glad you like them.

 

Valkia, glad to be an inspiration.  Here are some better pictures of my own converted imperial knight, though they are older so don't include of my newly completed options. For another example of a chaosified imperial knight, you might want to check my Tyrant.

 

That said, if you are doing a larger force, I would pick up a chaos knight as well and kitbash the two kits - that's what I did for my other 2 abhorent knights - both the guy I've used above as my showcase model for the conversions, and the guy I largely use as an Abominant.   That said, if I were to do that again, I would give both the imperial shoulders to the chaos top plate and both the chaos pads to the imperial top plate, rather than one of each to both.

 

BTW, the same mix and matching between the kits works for wardogs, though requires some cutting to put the chaos collar on the imperial top plate (and vice versa).

That's a killer way to get more Despoiler gatling cannons, I may have to copy that. Awesome

The missile launchers look great, some fantastic plasticard work!

[W.A.Rorie]

Awesome job!

Outstanding @Dr_Ruminahui! Great way of maximising your bitz.

Thanks, @Boc, @Vairocanum, @W.A.Rorie and @The Pounder - I'm glad you like them.  Some more knight kitbashing to appear in this space soon.

 

In the meantime, despite the knightly distraction, I just managed to finish painting my tormentors before the new year.  Here they are:

 

 

Pretty happy with them, and have now started on the second squad.  Particularly like the studded leather shoulder pad coverings as squad markings, as they look really nice against the obnoxiously purple armor.  The head on the champion is from one of the FW space marine sets, and I think it looks pretty well on my EC - after all, a haircut that bad can only be an EC... or a space wolf.  

 

Anyway, just started painting my second squad, so I should be able to show you how I intend to vary the Slannpat on the cloaks to differentiate squads.

@Valkia the Bloody, you are in luck - here are my two latest additions:

 

 

My friend did indeed get me a Ruinator for Christmas (I got him a set of Frontline Gaming terrain and objective templates for he and his son to play on), so I got myself a Questoris to kitbash with it to make myself 2 knights.  This means that I only need to convert up one more galting cannon (for which I have the parts) in order to have 3 gatling despoilers - which importantly means that I don't have to convert up another missile launcher, as I now have the GW parts for that.

 

Anyway, I'll post and explain my kitbashing process here as I do it.

 

As I do that, I'll continue to post my painted conversions - I'm decided to slip in my Cypher stand in (which is almost done) before painting my second Tormentor squad.
