Converted Warpsmith
I realised something about my Chaos recently; I need more HQ choices. I have several different Chaos Lords that go way back over the years, but not a lot else. I was looking in the codex, and I remembered that shortly after 8th edition dropped, I was planning to convert a Warpsmith out of one of the new plague marine models. I still had all the parts, so I decided to finally make the project a reality.
Anyway, the miniature shown above is the fruits of my labour. I'm pretty happy with how he came out, and one of the things I love about converting characters is that he was basically free, as he was entirely made with stuff I just had laying about the place. I did buy the plague marines though, but I got them as a set shortly after Dark Imperium was released, and they were cheap as hell on eBay.
While I was at it, I finally greenstuffed and based my unit of Slaanesh marines that I converted from the other plague marine models, so I'm planning to undercoat and airbrush them together in a batch soon. I'm really happy with them though, and I think that they look great.
One more post to go for this week, and I think I've saved the best till last. It's cool custom chaos lord time, and he's fully painted in all his bangin' glory!
Fantastic splicing sir - I doth my cap to thee! I don't think I've seen a Warpsmith conversion from Deathguard before - it's a great looking mini with a brilliantly imperious stance! Looking forward to seeing them all painted! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, second this entirely. BZ
DeleteThanks guys. I really like the Death Guard models, but I really don't like Nurgle at all! They're great for conversions though.
DeleteThese look great!
ReplyDelete(...and Slaanesh falling to Nurgle? There's an STD joke in there somewhere...)
Probably, but as I have a whole unit, I'm not making any assertions about how they all caught it...
DeleteExcellent stuff! I always love seeing what people do with Dark Mechanicum themes, and Warpsmiths are the most accessible of them to work with.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you gotta love a good conversion. I just wish I painted and finished all the ones I've built!
DeleteGreat conversion! Looking forward to seeing your usual top-notch paint job on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff man. You're really powering through the Emperor's Children right now.
