Conversion thread! what've you got going on?

No, it's in the fluff somewhere that Devil Dogs recruits dock their tails both as an initiation ritual and so they don't get in the way during combat IIRC.

 

I just finished this Nahab conversion. She's going to be the evolution of my Odalisque Obliterette.


And these are the Ghulam with Panzerfaust and Ghulam ML proxies. My Ramah Taskforce Ghulam Troopers all wear caps (two are the male and female Hunzakuts and the third is the Comm-Tech from Dire Foes Pack 3.

 

neither did the mk1 sculpts for dog warriors and mc murder (which it and his human form i still want so bad), the positive response from the duroc sculpt that came later set the Dog warrior appearance onward XD

 

Syke! Just got another ALEPH infiltrator converted into some kind of cyberpunk ninja-assassin out from nowhere.



And some gun mods for Kusanagi too.

takes a lot to keep the old man of the mountain in line

 

Finished a basic conversion on a Asura Spitfire for my OSS, and had to fix Pavarti´s braid. The darn thing breaks just by looking at it

 

That Asura is really great.

 

And it is an absurdly simple conversion. The old Asura arms fit almost perfectly with the new one.

 

I never would have expected that. I have painted the old Asura and found her to be quite petite!

Spoiler

 

I didn’t like that this sculpt had less fire than the aristea Mendoza. I fixed it.

 

I wasn't happy with my Hortlak sniper, so I had to start from scratch. Not 100% satisfied with the shoulders, but the pose and the weapon are big improvements.

 

Good thing I waited a year to paint my Gecko. Now I was able to update him to N4 standards:





The "panzerfaust" is the Taskmaster HRL turned upside down (scientific progress goes boink!), and the multi marksman rifle is just his combi with some bits chopped off and rearranged with some other bits. The Blitzen just got his wings chopped off and declared a chain rifle by royal decree.

Also: Not a good thing that I had airbrushed him already. Would have been so much easier to do the conversion without having to try to protect the paintjob all the time...

 

I can't remember where it said that in the fluff. Cause I feel it has come up before. But I also personally feel it would possibly be a futile gesture. Considering their regenerative capabilities and they don't have tails in their dogface form.
Unless maybe they guillotine that thing off each time they have to do a long combat rotation in dog warrior form. Which sounds like the sort of thing that marines with regeneration and a massive pain tolerance would do, just to show how tough as nails they are.

I had to give both of mine their tails back, they just looked wrong without them.

 

I don't know if it bothered anyone else, but I hated that our new hatail spec-ops (or my Taqeul ) had human weapons. So I decided to fix it.

BTW, did someone else had badly miscast fingers on their hatail? I had to redo the fingers her left hand with GS.

 

These are nice fire effects @Snowball

 

I am looking for some conversion ideas for Chimera and Pupniks. I would really like to run them in my Nomads lists from time to time ( playing Tohaa for years made me addicted to Eclipse grenades ), but I really really dislike current models. I was thinking of resorting to 3D printing, but I still want tournament legal minis, so I guess most of the mini has to be from CB with some heads and limbs 3d printed or borrowed from some other range. If someone has done something similar, or had some crazy ideas that were never realized, please let me know.

 

For Chimera use Flibusteira Gata, for Pupniks I am still looking...

 

Hmm, Gata skin could work. Honestly I forgot about Aristeia skins.
I had an idea about Pupniks, converting Jayth. Jayth are pretty useless in CA/Shas IMO and I have exactly 3 extra Jayths I don't need for anything.
