Converting for dummies: I want to chop people with my gun aswell as shoot them!

Hi, this is the first conversion, now this may be done on an Ork but it will work for most races (imagine an assaule marine with a bolt pistol with underslung chainsword and targeter). So here we go!

All the stuff you need is here, basicaly a black reach ork with chain thing and slugga, some glue, some files and clippers.

A close-up of the exact pieces.First, cut off the ammo clip from the gun.


Sorry about the blur on this one, what it is supposed to show is the chain blade and motor cut off.

Now cut the blade from the motor.

Finally add the motor whee the clip was but with the exhaust acting as a hand guard. Then attach the chain blade.

Note: YOU WILL HAVE TO FILE BITS DOWN THROUGHOUT THIS TUTORIAL AND MAY HAVE TO CUT OFF LITTLE EXTRA BITS !!!!!!!!!!!

Conversions for dummies: A new series about converting.

Ok, so I am going to do a new series about doing simple conversions, this will be done step-by-step and hopefully will help people.

A couple of days ago, I was thinking about converting. I know I am not the best converter but not everybody is and it is hard to learn some of the basic skills when you join theis obby, so I will be converting on some of the following races:

Space marines.
Orks.
Dark eldar warriors.
Tyranids
Maybe some other I am not sure.

So, tell me what you think and say if your interested.

Painting: Pic marathon.

Hi guys, I finally have a camera now so I have been on a pic marathon. Here we go:

Remember that post a while a go about random stuff, well here it is, Legolas Merry and a warboss (AoBR but the back of his claw is missing). Just a bit of fun painting.

Now for the real work, this is my WIP Slaaneshi squad.
The command

A close up on the banner.

And a random dude.

Nurgle time.This is a squad from a while back, I am pretty pleased with them but I forgot to take pics of their capes which are some of the best bits.

Now this guy is a 'Chaosling' They are men borne to close to chaos and never grew very tall as the raw essence of chaos flows through them, they are generally magicians and nomatter what god they worship, a tripe wants them. This one is a conversion and is devoted to tzeench. I mad up the stuff about chaoslings. The thing be his side is a count as fammiliar.

Another pic.

And another.

A cappy that still needs some work but is getting there

Taccy squad!

WIP maurauders!, flail heaven. The silver members are the young members of the trip that are not as devoted as the others so don't show as much heritige as the others.

And so ladies and gentalmen, that is all for today, more pics to come and my tutorial on mud basing will have pics too.

P.S. Since now I have based my army with my mud tecnique.

Painting: LoTR and orks.

Ok, I don't have pics yet but I do have some news.

Orks: I have started painting my warboss, I don't know what to call him yet though. The whole ork clan will either be called the Blood ----- (-= insert name) or the skull smashers, any ideas?

LoTR: Right, so me and my mate will eventually get into LoTR (after I have done marines, got a decent amount od Orks and Warriors of chaos (my fantasy army)) I have already painted Legolas and Merry which I got free from a mate and I may slowly build my collection.

Fantasy: Like above I have decided to get some Warriors of Chaos.

40k: Marines are proceding, I need to finish a tac squad then prime and paint 2 rhinos, 2 speeders, 5 assault marines and 5 scouts then Marines are finsihed and I can move onto orks and WoC.
