Not really BB/FF Figures
I started playing Blood Bowl when it first came out. In those days, my gang were kinda quick to make D&D figures into fantasy football players. Then the first GW figures came out, and we bought those.
Anyway, I'm sure many of us have some conversions. So lets see them. Here are a few of mine:

Re: Not really BB/FF Figures
I got something, though conversion is maybe a bit too far-fetched, clumsy weapon-snips and kitbashes would be more accurate. I am creating a Khemri team from Necron parts (reason being that I don't want to track down old kits, but have the option of playing the team in GW events). I just finished painting one of the better conversions of the bunch - the one Thro-Ra I had an actually free hand left for.
I am reasonably happy with it. It is build on the basis of a Necron Warriors body and legs, with head and arms from the Lychguard kit. To designate a Thrower position his base rim is white and has a human ball from the 2016 base game in hand. The base hasn't fully dried in this picture, yet.

Tons of 'em, as I love to convert my own teams out of other miniatures.bound for glory wrote:No one has any conversions?
But they are either not painted or I don't have a decent pic of them.
And a lot have been posted in other threads already...

Can I pay you to make me one? I'm serious about this.

Re: Not really BB/FF Figures
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! This is my first conversion (well part of my first set of them anyways) and it is photographed in a way that hides its flaws (I really should have put some greenstuff into the hand joint...), I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to sell this level of quality.

Just make him pay for bits and shipping then!Deathrain wrote:I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to sell this level of quality.
But seriously, Bound for Glory, those conversions are easier made than you think.
Look at my selfmade Zzharg Madeye and Hthark:
The unpainted is the star player, side by side with a painted normal player.
I converted my Chaos Dwarves from Chaos Warriors that just got their legs shortened. (Never liked those silly hats!)
To match them, I had to design the stars myself, so I took parts from Chaos and Dwarves and kitbashed them for Zzharg and took a horse and Chaos bits for Hthark.
You only need some imagination and use plasic in the beginning, which makes the cutting much easier.
Also see the Doom Diver for my Goblins I made:
Basically a standard Goblin with "wings" made from Skaven banners!
It's really just raiding your bitsbox or ebay bits dealers and a little imagination, really.
For everyone who is interested, here are my conversions:
- Norse Team made from Chaos Marauders and a Yhetee
- Chaos Dwarf Team made from Chaos Warriors and Night Goblins
- Chaos Team made from Chaos Warriors and Beastmen
- Orc Team made from 40K Orcs
- Skaven Players made from Storm Vermin and Rat Ogre
- Goblin Team made from Goblins and Privateer Press Trolls (Hordes)
- Star Player Madcap Miggz (unpainted) made from a Goblin and a Kromlech Gnaw
- Bretonnia Team made from Bretonnia Miniatures for Knights, Yeomen and Peasants
