How is babby formed?

>>3404438
How many of your models see paint? Can we get a look at some of the results?

What is the answer?

Why did you get into converting in the first place?

Was it for the looks, or the ability to use bits you had lying around without having to buy additional stuff, aka, the cost, or a bit of both?

What can I learn from you in simple text? Nothing. Fuck off.

>>3404440
We must find way to instain mother
>>3404447
My latest paintjob was the Santa Marine and his lil' helper, here
I usually paint when I have nothing to convert. Which isn't all that often. I really need to paint more...
>>3404452
42

Why would you put that plastic window thing in first? Are you going to paint over it?

How would one go about creating either a CoG (from Gears of War) or Doomguy mini?

Preferably out of currently buyable parts.

>>3404476
>Damnit SQLfail wiped the namefield
>>3404467
Back when I first was introduced to 40k (early 3rd ed, first set was Eldar Guardians, a Viper and an Avatar) me and my firnd sat down to make them. We had no idea of the rules so we just winged it and he gave one of the Guardians dual catapults.
I then took another guardian, gave him the usual offhand and then modelled him on his knees holding his seelingly ripped off other arm (the dualwielder's left arm). I painted him bloody and anguished looking.

I guess my main motivation has always been "Anyone can make it straight out of the box. I want to be the little gir- I mean unique snowflake"
>>3404475
Would you like a tutorial of something with pics attached instead?

have you tried creating a Gordon Freeman mini? Will you?

Will you send me something?

>>3404487
It's not glued.
Heck, the whole tank is still in 3 parts to allow for easy interior painting
>>3404496
I made Doomguy (comic verson) once.
-SM Scout legs
-IG torso
-SM Scout head / IG helmet w/ rebreather & goggles out of GS
-Catachan/Chaos Marauder arms
-Suitably huge gun (Assault Cannon / Shotgun / one of those Tau plasma guns for the BFG...)

The CoG would probably work best based off a normal SM Power Armour with the backpack and shoulderpads removed and the legs shaved down a bit. Add a Catachan head (for Marcus), a Bolter with a Choppa (the chainsaw one) for a bayonet, maybe an IG VOXpack. Some GS and it's good to go.

I'm having trouble coming up with ideas to scratchbuild, and heavily convert some IG models to suit an Ork army; Chimeras for Trukks, Sentinels for Killa Kans etc. Do you plan out your conversions first, ie diagrams, or just head for the bitz box? Also, when it comes to scratchbuilding, is it better to wander in blindly, or use some kind of inspiration as a basis?

>>3404520
Only made this pic.
He's easy to make out of the Kasrkin Sgt model, with a bit of GS for the hair and beard + a crowbar out of some scrap plastic
>>3404555
I hate the mail system...

Does mighty putty make a good alt to Green stuff?

Also, how are ya, brah?

What tools do you use? Mostly, what's the best thing you use to cut plastic/resin. I've been getting by with cheap nigger conversions (ie-vox box+flamer+plasma pistol=guard's plasma gun) with a box cutter and glue.

>>3404567
Thanks.

Any idea on a Locust? Or would that be more of a sculpting job?

>>3404577
I usualy scroll through WD issues for inspiration, and make a mental plan of what I want before I start. I rarely use diagrams (but sometime I request a pic from one of the resident Drawfags to help me with visualisation)
If you want to go the "easy" way, play Blood Axes.
I actually have a plan to buy that SC Stormboy and convert him and a unit of Nobz into some proper uniforms and give them a nice clean Chimaera for a transport.
However if you don't like the 'Axes, I'd suggest getting one or two of every ork and imperial vehicle, mixing up the sprues and making stuff like Halftrack Chimaeras using the Truk front and Chimaera chasis, etc.
Sentikans are simple enough, just add some arms to it.

>>3404589
Can't say for sure mate, I only use GS. However I hear eBay hase some insane cheap GS for sale.
Also I'm good, if a bit tired. I took a nap at 6pm and woke up at 11pm. Now I can't sleep.

>>3404645
Ah, that sucks, I hate not being able to sleep.

How do you get ideas for basing your heroes? The only think I can think to do is put them on a rock or something to set them apart.

Also, do you build any terrain, Scriptarius?

>>3404612
I got a pair of heavy duty clippers from a hardwearstore, a steel file, the Citadel razorsaw and sculpting tool. + Citadel glue. I know it's expensive shit but I feel contributing to the hobby is important. And it's good glue.
>>3404633
I'd base it off an Ork Boy or Necromunda Scaly.
Cut the Boyz legs at the knees and repose them to stand more upright. Repose the torso to sit well on these legs and glue the arms as normal. Cover the "head hole" with an armour plate and the head is mostly going to be a sculpting job over a normal human head.
>This is what I'm thinking of for the finished one. I've never played GoW as I'm a sonyfag.

>>3404567

>Bolter with a Choppa (the chainsaw one) for a bayonet

Ork Choppa would be WAAAAAAY to big on a bolter. Just a regular IG chainsword would suffice. Don't use the whole thing, obviously, then it'd be too long. Just part of the end.

>>3404663
For basing, I usualy end up going with elaborate ruins/rock formations/corpse piles.
>Pic related
I used to make lots of terrain (including a roughly 3 feet in diameter Ork Fort) but recently my only terrain project is a bigass Cathedral I'm going to make out of Cities of Death boxes. The problem is I can't settle on a plan for it.
>>3404680
What he said
I obviously wasn't thinking
Thanks mate.

i got a question, with greenstuff are you supposed to let it sit a few minutes before trying to sculpt it or as soon as you finish mixing it?

>>3404702
Ah, I guess that works. Looks like I'm to hunt for some good branches for my elves.

Out of curiosity, how much have you spent on the miniature hobby?

>>3404729
It's better to work with if you let it sit for a few minutes.
GW pros say 15
I go for 5

My best was take a gorkamorka leader model and glued a chainsword to his hand instead the knife it had. I play necromunda with the orks as a gang of Goliaths.

>>3404734
thanks Scriptarius

>>3404732
If I were to count I'd hit myself
It has to be in the thousands.
>On a related note, as soon as I get the time to handle it, I'm selling off a pile of my old works on eBay. I'm hoping to raise around 1000€.
>More info will be posted as soon as I do it.

On an unrealted note
I had a less-than-brilliant idea of using the plastic SoB from the Immolator frame to make a full SoB army.
Is this brilliantly retarded Y/N?

My cadians are possibly gonna be based off of cliche Vietnam war stuff like a wounded trooper on his knees as in Platoon, "war is hell" "natural born killer" grafitti on tanks/ flak jackets/ helmets, Commissar R. Lee Ermey, Gomer Pyle guardsman shooting self with lasrifle, etc. Any more ideas? This idea is actually gaining support in my lgs and we wanna make this well thought out. Any thoughts or ideas Scripty?

>>3404754
Cool, hope you reach your goal.

Is there any other use for old sprues other than bricks and rubble?

>>3404793
My first reaction was
>Viatnam
>Cadia
I actually had to check you didn't write Catachan.
That aside, I've never watched any Vietnam War movies or even been to Vietnam so I can't really give good pointers on this.
You might want to give the WFB Chaos Marauder box a looj though. It has nice MANLY bitz.

>>3404793

Do the guys from Tropic Thunder.

>>3404817

YES

>>3404793

Better idea: Make a Lost and the Damned army based on Colonel Kurtz's kingdom from Apocalypse Now.

>>3404817
Ben Stiller- clueless sergeant with panda hat
Robert Downey Jr- Black guy with a shotgun
Jack Black- support gunner with heavy bolter
Alpa Chino- Normal trooper?
That other dude- Normal trooper facepalming behind Stiller's back?

>>3404792
Wouldn't that cost a LOT of money?

(I had to check if the immolator was a unit... and was... well. If you build an entire army out of a model from a tank sprue, I'm going to be afraid of you. :( )

>>3404809
Rebar in (ruined) structures
Handrails
Orky Gubbinz on da Truks
Flagpoles, lamp-posts, hole fillers, tank traps, punji pits, steel roofing, ETC.

>>3404837
>Robert Downey Jr

RD is black?

>>3404848
his character in Tropic Thunder is known for getting dangerously attached to roles, going as far as dying his skin black to better portray a black trooper

>>3404842
It's only good for mainly 40k stuff, isn't it?

How easy/hard would it to be to convert Catachan models to be laying down or in various crouching poses rather than standing?

How would I do it?

What's the best way to leave some mark on the model to indicate it's "real" height so I'm not being an asshole to my opponent?

>>3404838
The SoB Tank Acessory Sprue (around 20$ on Dakkadakka IIRC) has lots of cool bitz and ONE sister.
I was hoping to grab some extra ones off people instead of BUYING the whole sprues.

Plastic Sisters have long been a sort of dream of mine. It's a real challenge, something I haven't seen even people like Doghouse pull off.
My best plan up to now involved Eldar Guardians, Daemonetters, Marines and Chaos Warriors.
And still didn't work well.

>>3404870
REACH FOR YOUR DREAMS!

>>3404854
Fantasy Dwarves and Empire benefit from it
Ogres might too

>>3404865
Laying down is easy enough, you mainly need to repose the neck and arms to not look silly.
All kneeling takes is cutting the legs up at the joints and reposing them. The Heavy Weapons Team kit also has kneeling legs. Use them as a guidelike for reposing.
For height you might want to for instance model them all on rocks to keep the old height.

>>3404913
I'm going to try to make a tree out of them I guess.
Would you use sculpy or green stuff for the trunk?

Making Blood Bowl Saurus the new range?

I'm converting an Empire Knight's horse into a Death Rider, and I was wondering what I should do about making the mask, and what to use for all of the tubes sticking out of it? I'm already going to use Greenstuff to smooth out its body and fill in some gaps, but those are my pressing concerns.

Also, why are you so awesome?

>>3404895
LIKE THE UNLIKABLE
THINK THE UNTHINKABLE
ROW ROW
CONVERT DA SISTA
>>3404922
GS is a bit expensive for that. I'd use some crafts clay or something
>>3404974
Guitar wire makes cool tubing, or make a sausage out of GS and score lines around it to make the tube effect
The mask should be easy enough to GS too.
I'd also suggest usiung the bike bases (or making your own by cutting a round base in roughly half and bluing it on a calary bases ends) or Terminator bases for them, as 40k models on sqyare bases look kinda 2nd ed.
I dunno why I'm so awesome. Maybe it's compensation for my crap math skills.

I need a heroic Senior officer for my Guard.

I lack inspiration, can you help?

Cool inspiration, bro

Can't sleep furries will eat me

>>3405432
They'll do worse than just eat you. Eating will eventually end, the yiffing will last FOREVER

>>3405608

That implies the presence of gonads in the gastrointestinal tract.

>>3405608
>>3405619
Can't sleep
Busy drawing anatomical autopsies of furries

>>3404452
this is the answer...

>>3405694
eeh wha.

how would you go about connecting 2 land raiders end on end into one long monstrosity?

>>3405619
I just might be sick.

>>3405718
Cut the sloped rear part off one, the sloped front off the other. Connect them at the end of the "boxy" part
The final result will be something like this

So Script, got a question for ya (or anyone more experienced in working GS than myself)
How would you go about sculpting a rose, just a small one, out of GS?
Promised my gf a Chaos Termi Lord called Rose...
So now I've got to get a hold of roses one way or the other to decorate him..
Any and all ideas appreciated.

>>3405619
Well, we do always tell furries to eat a bag of dicks, so I'm not surprised.

Scriptarius, you are very entertaining.

I'm at a bit stuck for ideas. Hmm... how would I go about making an ironclad dreadnought? I have a lot of dreadnoughts from Black Reach (+1 one from an actual set) and I think it's time to add some variety

>>3405743
how would one go about covering up that gap at the front where the heavy bolter goes, where you have used the vindicator cannon,
what part would you recomend that would do the job and would look kind of communication-ie

>>3405746
some SoB minis have roses on them IIRC
The Empire Wizard kit has a scythe with roses growing on it. It's plastic and I'd suggest using it.
To make one out of GS, I'd say make each pettal separately and then attach them in a cluster

I was trying to convert some Praetorian IG onto Tallarn/Atiliian rough riders. Only the original rough riders bodies are much larger than the Praetorians. I cannot afford to experiment too much because Praetorian are expensive as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Halp.

>>3405746

You could get those little craft roses, they are very small, but fabric, so you couldn't really paint them.

What has your most amusing / fun / impressive conversion been Script?

>>3405746
watch out with that scythe the haft is really thin and the roses reach down onto it so you cant just cut it off at the blade.
I went through 4 for a conversion

>>3405768
Empire Wizard on 'to do' list for tomorrow it is.
Thanks. Might put up pics when done. I paint like I have arthritis though, so might take a while, but dammit if this isn't the project I actually finish.

>>3405761
Try Cities of Death bitz like my Land Raider in the OP pic.
Or tank parts. Dozer blades, extra armour, etc.
Then just give it 2 fists instead of 1 (2 Dreads make a good long range one and an easy Ironclad), and some tank upgrades (rams, even dozer blades)
>>3405762
Take a dozer blade, add some wires, make a radio dish.
>Also not my LR, found it off google
>>3405769
Empire Pistollier kit should help with that
Otherwise I'd suggest taking the normal Praetorians (standing ones), bending ther legs out, filing them down a bit and just mounting that on the horse.

>>3405804

Are WFB similarly sized though? I thought the Tallarn Rough Riders would be, but their legs and torso are huuuge.

>>3405784
amusing - the genestealer whose raping an ork
fun - I really liked doing the Land Raider in the OP post. But that's a hard call as I like doing most of my works.
impressive - Sauronator, ANGRON, Gingernaught, all get a mention here. Yet the final place belongs to my Chaos Chariot and close second to my Chaos Dragon.
>IT'S AWWWWRIGHT

Making a tri-linked lascannon for Leman Russ: awesome or stupid?

I know it's way beyond legal but damnit it will look cool.

>>3405823
Well I don't know exactly how small pratorians are but they SHOULD work.
If you think stuff is too HUGE, try some LotR cavalry.

A guy I regularly play 40k with recently showed off a 40k Inquisitor with a fedora hat and a converted whip. I was thinking of topping this with some Castlevania minis. How do I make a MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS?

>>3405838
Can't say for sure until I see it.
However I hate the Leman model and think a Chimaera with a Predator turret makes a better IG tank.
>>3405790
I didn't find it to be horribly fiddly myself. Well not atleast any more than all the WFB empire bitz are.
I used the scythe on one of my Nurgle Champions for a while.

>>3405862
Mephiston of the Blood Angels is pretty much exactly what you want.
Throw in some Vlad/Mannfred von Carstein, a few Chaos bitz and some GS
WHAT IS A CONVERSION?
>A miserable pile of bitz. But enough GS! HAVE AT YOU!

>>3405876
i used it with a haft from somewhere and added it to a space marine captian, I cant believe you never had problems with that bastard part.
Truly you are the god of converters

>>3405935
I just have bloody dexterous girly fingers
Good for converting and foreplay

>>3405966
whats your skill like with a blade or do you use a file?

>>3405876

>Can't say for sure until I see it.

Alas, I lack the greenstuff, plasticard, and spare models I'll need to do it. All I can give you is this.

>>3405993
THIS IS AWESOME

>>3405980
clippers/saw/file are my trinity of tools
>As for blades, I enjoy fencing. Not the wanky sports style but proper swordfights.

>>3405993
Looks cooler than I expected
Go for it!

>>3405910
Much obliged good conversionfag. I actually have a spare Mannfred figure lying around...

>>3406021
fencing lol lol har de har
honestly I cant see how any one would use a saw,
but then again most people dont have access to the tools I use normally.

>>3405993

If you ever get some one to agree to letting you use that monstrosity, what would the stats be? S 10 AP 1?

>>3406039
The saw is brilliant for making straight cuts through solid things, like thick metal models or buildings or entire tanks.
Or well, that's how I use it

>>3406058
i use medical scalples for those jobs.
and basically every other conversion job

>>3406079
Wait wait wait
You use a medical scalped to cut a bloodthirster in half?
I use them for sculpting if I have some handy, but never really found them that useful otherwise.

>>3406100
never sawed a blood thrister with one but I did recently used a heavyer blade on a keeper of secrets, they make other types.

I need a way to glue a plastic hand holding a sword onto a metal Wolf Priest Ulrik model that doesnt involve me holding onto it for fucking ever. Any idea how to do this?

>>3406129
pinning

>>3406021
I somehow now see Scriptarius duelling a very brittish butler with rapiers, shirtless, in a burning mansion
For an afternoon workout.

>>3406138
This.
Or superglue. Atleast in my experience it sticks metal to plastic instantly.

>>3406139
and now for a totally unrelated reason i have to fap furiously

>>3406127
I still find it hard to imagine.
Those knives just seem so flimsy to me

>>3406164
Medical scalpels are surprisingly strong and springy, its relatively hard to snap them. From my experience though, they dull quickly on anything tougher than plastic.

>>3406164
trust me they are made from decent materials and have a hell of an edge. It just takes some getting used to, but when you do you get decent results, or a scalpel blade stuck in your arm on your first try like I did

>>3406139
Well they're not exactly rapiers but close enough.
Now to find a butler.

>>3404974
In case anyone cares, update pic.

>>3405145

>>3406438
Probably not
I've heard FW minis are annoying to convert and even that Inquisitor didn't make me drool THAT hard.

Have you ever got any ideas for any Tau conversions?

>>3406520
mmmmm cake titan

>>3406520
I'll probably be too drunk

what the fuck happened here i went the loo for a bit saw talk of cake titans and scrolled up to see this,
whut?

>>3406536
Indeed I do.
I've wanted to try making a GRIMDARKer tau army

Cadian Torso, SM Scout legs, Tau leg armour, 2 Tau Shouldershields, scope and bayonet on the pulse rifle
Bulky battlesuits, less of that chickenlegs faggotry and more Terminator-style.
And a battle-worn looking Farsight. Wielding the Dawnblade 2-handed.

>>3406574
Ya'll need a trip code.

>>3406400

>>3406606
:(

It's okay, you're still awesome.

And I'm hoping when it is your birthday, you'll be drunk enough to try.

AT LEAST THE SEEDS OF AN AWESOME IDEA HAVE BEEN PLANTED!

>>3406592
never been arsed with one,

>>3406623
Well a Titancake wouldn't be IMPOSSIBLE per se, all one needs to do is make some cake bases or whatever the ter for them is that make the rough shapes of say a Warlord Titan, cover them with green whipped cream, make the detailing out of sprinkles and stick candles or something on it for guns.

>>3406710
Probably a dense cake for the legs, and a light fluffy sponge cake for the head/body thing?

Chocolate arms?

>>3406606
Script, how can I improve on this inquisitor, willing to reposition arms and what have you the sword has already been removed.

>>3406633
The fuck?

I'm cheese sandwichus.

It is the only way.

>>3406828
yawn. good night 4chan.

What's it like to not have any money?

>>3407105
Cripes that was fast!
Yeah, that's what I was going for. Just add the halberd and maybe get rid of the hat unless you like it.
>>3407121
I'd rather not
France isn't high on my list.
I'd rather be brittish. Jolly good.

>>3407105
The halo was something I was considering, but I was worried that it would look too much on her; I may well convert it on to a normal sister pack yet, but the cloak actually does look good, despite my normal hatred for cherubs.

It's funny I had this picture already =P I found the book looked a bit heavy, but then her leg is already buckled ;D

Think there's a way I can get a psycannon in there?

>>3407152
IDK, I recall it being annoying back whe I was 11 or so. Can't say for sure though, it's been a while.

Rough Riders advice for a cheap way to give them awesome looking mounts and how should I go about making them look more cadain.

>>3407154
yeah I already had tried what you suggested ;D just had to find the picture.

You don't like the hat? I thought impressive hats were quite inquisitorial =P I agree though that combined, they are a bit much. I don't have a halberd sadly =< I'll see what it looks like =3

>>3407154
British wedding cake chef?

Didn't turn out as well as I'd of liked, but I suppose it's not too bad. His pose is bad, but the legs turned out well. Also, it seems like I needed to use a lot more greenstuff to smooth out the horse itself, though I still might yet do this.

Overall, I'm pretty happy, but it could be waaay better.

But overall damn good looking

>>3407302
Explain what? How to live a year with 3000€?

okay this is a complicated one for ya scriptarius:

how can I convert the front plate on a land raider so the gun hatch (where the twin linked heavy bolter goes) fits in the center of the center of the console?

also, any ideas for making a combination assault cannon/ multimelta turret using the immolator cockpit as a base?

(im only on concept sketches and could use your advice)

I have this horsie, and I have this half of a sister of battle

>>3407346
So if I got this right you want the HBolters on the center of the tank instead of on one side, right?
And a Multimelta/Asscannon turret?

Well the turret is the easy part. Take the Immolator turret, add the meltas as normal, then add the asscannons on the front of the turret assembly between the meltas, sort of like on a Predator turret

Now the Hbolter is a bit more complicated, as you'll need to pretty much hack up the entire top front part (the one with the bolter housing) and rebuild it out of plasticard or something.

>>3407472
SoB centaur.

Make it.

>>3407472
You want to get rid of the crank on the horses ass, add a banner on the back of the sister or on her hand, add some detailed plates on the legs, and paint it all in matching colours.
It should look good.

should I do this? Or should I put one of the girls with a sword on, and use the half of a sister here to poke out of the top of a rhino?

Her arm covers ALL OF THE LEVERS on the neck of the horsie if she points forwards, so she could go sideways, but the horsies neck happens to lean to one side.

What do you think I should do with the mechano horsie? what would be a fun idea =3

>>3407527
I like the forward pointing pose
But I still say it needs a banner in there somewhere

>>3407559
sorry I was editing the picture when you made your post XD

>>3407635

>>3405743
Sorry but I think mine looks better.

>>3407752
I like it!
Somehow it reminds me of 16 bit sidescrolling shooter bosses
>Also the one I posted wasn't made by me. It's on google under "uber land raider"

I was wondering why yours looked sub-par to the rest of your work. And thanks

Sciptarius, do you have any recommendations on how to make Cadian rough riders?

Bikes, being the way to go with cadians, but on whether to scratch build the bikes or purchase pre-existing bikes and go from there?

I'm looking at these babies:
http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=157
but i'm not sure to get the ones with legs or get them without the legs.

>>3407816
Get the ones with legs, it'll be beasier. You can sculpt the uniform bottom on them if you want to, but it's harder the other way around.

Also I don't really know how to make good scratchbuilt dirtbikes (SM Bikes are too huge to be of any use here) so I'd say buy those.

Dear t/OP/hat. I want to make Chaos Sisters of battle for a chaos army I'm starting. I'd like advice on ways to convert models to have a nice mix of infantry and vehicles, with a slight tilt towards infantry. Slaanesh and Khorne are my favorites, but I'm up for whatever. Help me out! Note that I already have a bunch of Ork bits siting around, especially Boyz stuff, and a small box fulla random space marine crap.

Easy Mode: Warhammer Fantasy bits allowed
Normal Mode: Plastic only
Hard Mode: Advice for making Chaos Sister Zerkers, Noise Marines, 1k Sons, and Plague Marines.

Mighty Scriptarius! I'm looking at making a penal legion guard army, but I'm having trouble on the idea of making any truly interesting models.

So far my plans were to get a set of cadians and a set of catachan and mix them together, but this is very dull. Any suggestions?

>>3407904
Daemonettes. That's how I'm doing it. Although I'm making it as a Slaaneshi-themed army in entirety.

I want to make Odin (I have a Norse Myth army theme) He'll play as Kor'sarro Khan. I was thinking of making a quad bike for him. My friends suggested mechanizing a horse for him. What do you think?

>>3407904
>HARD MODE
Ok so, get some Daemonettes, CSM and Eldar Guardians.
The basis of the Plastic Sister is Eldar legs + Daemonette torso + SM pack/arms/gun, with GS to fix any issues. Shoulderpads and sleeves can be made from GS.
As you are going for chaos, replace SM parts with CSM alternatives and use Daemonette heads.

Berserkers - just arm them with axes and pistols. Repose into running. Use the heads with the most horns.

Noise Marines - Take any extra heads you have. Cut them in half so the mouth is removed. Now take a CSM backpack, turn the exhaust ports facign forward and GS the heads over them, so the outlet maked the new mouth.
For noisemarine guns, take 2 bolters and glue them on end to make a single long one. Then add a tank sprue gun muzzle on the end. Attach to backpack with guitar wire
Use the heads with the AWESOME HAIR

Plague Marines - This is GS work. Add huge distended bellies, pustules, and other nurgly crap on the basic chaos sisters.

1kdaughters - Either go the "headless horseman" way or make some SoB helmets. The easiest way to make said halmets is to take a Chaos Warrior helmet and GS the "panty" shape on it. Otherwise just assemble as normal.

>>3405030

Why don't you just make castings of the SoB bits you have instead of building one model and destroying your income for the next few months\years trying to make an army out $20 per Sister bits? Or if that's too complicated assemble the Sister in a pose you like, cast it, disassemble her then reassemble her, cast it, and keep doing it till you've got enough variety of poses to make a decent looking unit. Then copypasta the unit as many times as needed.

>>3407923
Empire Militia Sprue and Chaos Marauder Sprue. Both are FULL of characterful bitz.
Empire Pistollier, Handgunner and Halberdier sets are worth a look too.
>>3407983
2 Empire Master Engineer's horses (as seen here >>3407472 )
have the horses pull a chariot he's mounted in.

>>3408007

It's a shame none of it will ever get completed, painted or fielded.

>>3408022
My only beef with casting is that it somehow feels like cheating.
But you make a compelling point.

>>3408048

Your money, man. It's just how I would do it . Then again I am happy enough just converting my Space Marines so they have distinguishing poses beyond 'squat to take a shit while shooting at the hip'. Throw on a little iconography like purity seals, gernades, holsters, maybe a trophy from an enemy ( a head, looted choppa, what have you ) and we're set to rock and roll.

>>3408149
To be honest I'm most hyped about the upcoming PLASTIC STORMTROOPERS and the new IG HQ models.
My Inquisitor will have many new minions...

Plastic Stormtroopers? HOT NURGLE PISS.

Also, thanks for the advice on my penal legion!

>>3408181

I'm probably going to buy them and convert them into Scouts. The actual Scout models just don't sit well with me....

>>3407904
I

>>3408208
I took the scouts and made them into stormies
I'm bizarro like that

>>3405030
what's this made from =D Do you have any other SoB things you can show me? I'm after ideas for convertings and stuff because you've got me on a buzz for it now XD

If I cast some of the plates on my exorcist do you want any?

>>3408278
It's just the Immolator gunner with a SM backpack and a pair of bolt pistols.
AND IF YOU CAST THOSE PLATES I COULD SUCK YOU OFF FOR THEM.
>Given that you are waxed.
I'd really like the plates. Like 20 of each. At least.

>>3408278
Forgot pic

>>3408046

Counts as normal CSM units. Done.

>>3408040
That could be cool. The mechanical horse looks neat.

>>3408345
I had plans to make such a chariot for my Inquisitor
Never got around to it, though.
>It would have had 6 horses
>And laud hailers

>>3408324
Only if you tell me what you intend to do with them =D
But yeah no probs, worthy cause etc; I'll try and get some of the forge world doors and stuff too because I want all my tanks to have em.

Do you have any of the church arch stuff left over?

>>3408379
Think Exorcist
Now add the words "SUPER HEAVY"
Then think Fortress of Arrogance
Then combine all these with a cathedral
THAT'S what I need them for.

I have piles of Cities of Death stuff all over.

>>3408339
Oh bugger! that reminds me of why I decided not to give the inquisitor the book, I was going to give it to my celestine conversion due to her massive size >_<

Any recommendos as to what I could give celestine if not the inquis? Though I guess I could magnetize the book to switch between them... erf. Only got the one.

>>3408431
Get another one?
I don't really have other ideas at this time. I should be waking up in 20 minutes.
>Fuck year 4 hours of sleep

>>3408464
you don't think the pair will look daft having the same book in the same position? and yeah I've not slept, mostly because of you ;D 5:20am, no sleep.

I'll sort out my casting stuff and have a go at a few; once I get it going decent enough do you mind if I grab some of the arch pieces and whatnot off of you? I want to make that chapel Stormlord I told you about ;D

>>3408495
List up what you need and I'll see what I can do
And I doubt the book will look silly. Just paint them differently.

>>3408520
I think this might be the start of something a bit more complicated than at first I envisioned. How about I get the casting ball rolling and get all the plates done (I'll be using them mostly as Extra Armour), send them off to you so that C) is fair and then:

A) Work out what you'd want copied, or things you are after
B) Get a list of random crap I need as someone with no bitz to speak of (hell I even need bolters and bolt pistols)
C) find the most cost effective way for you to send the stuff to me, get them copied, and sent back

That way the exercise is worth while for both of us, and it doesn't turn into a silly back and forth

>>3408649
Well seeing I live in the frozen northlands the best I can think of is the good ol' mail system.
What I need mostly is SoB tank parts. The Exorcist plates, cherub speakers, those small plastic paintings, etc.

But now I need to get a move on to the academy
Cheers everyone

Another question about the chaos Sisters thing.

I was thinking of taking that nice Angel chick sisters get and converting it into a Daemon Prince(ss) for fun and win. Any advice on parts to use, and general advice on good ways to equip one for battle?

Pic 25% probability of being related.

>>3408834
I converted my st celestine to use gargoyle wings (old versions) but you should look at the carrion birds you get from tomb kings, they have decayed falling apart feathered wings that might be worth using. put a slaaneshi daemonette head in place of her normal one, and file down one breast plate to be bare (GS a nipple on or something).

Daemon Princes come with what they have, and option for a spell, so give her lash of submission and make her slaaneshii.

Interesting note: only one sister of battle has ever fallen to chaos.

more of my tanks

more converts!

Reposting my angry Ork Boy for fun.

Converting Ork soldiers is one of my favorite past times.

BUMP! Why is this tread not bumping?

>>3408007

Also! I like this, late thank you for the advice.

You know what will be really fun? Using the leftover parts for things like Possessed Sisters. Those will be awesome.

....do Possessed work well ingame?

(Here is a Loota)

No! we're on page 10!

At least it's archived.
