Just a quick view of work in progress

Post by Colin »

Here are some picks of some minis I have been working on, all have been converted in some way (usually by removing weapons), all are from the Heresy range of minis.
Image
This is the Heresy Thrud I converted to use for BB. Looks better than the GW version IMO.

Image
This is the Heresy ogre I converted (looks kinda like DW with that mohawk :wink: )

Image
Image
Heresy Mino Lord I converted for my Norse team to use. The guy being ripped apart looked a little to fantasy like so decided to make fig look more BBish. Had some extra chaos bitz and figured that Norse would be a good rival for a chaos team so did up the fig to look like a BB chaos mutant being ripped apart by "Da Rippa".

Good idea with thrud, a lot more muscular, kind of more in keeping with thrud's in game ST value.
Mino lord has a lot of agression going on there, tempted to try something similar but putting a gutter runner or witch elf in place. But hey, that would be too much like self gratification at the thought of my oponents top score player getting ripped in half.

If only I had time to work on them.

Love that minotaur. Wish I had a use for one. Would like to see the victim made into a ref though.

Good work Torg can't wait to see them painted.

Torg attacks strictly-limited-to-500-now-unavailable collector's piece in weapon snip shocker! :o

Not disparaging your conversion work or anything, but something that limited that comes with a certificate and everything? I just couldn't bring myself to hack it around...

Don't worry about it Torg. I cut the feather off the top of a GD2000 Kroxigor because I had 2 and I didn't want a duplicate.

Heh, I brought 2 of the Thrudd mini's, one just to convert to BB.

It's great seeing the faces some people pull when they realise a fig's converted from a lmt ed. Mate has a Chaos Vet Sargeant converted from the LotD figure. Should have seen the faces on the GW staffer when he realised what it was :lol:

even though I wouldn't have hacked bits off myself I have to admit the weapon snip for Thrud is pretty tidy - have you resculpted any fingers of angything?

I wouldn't have mounted him on that base though, not many knee high boulders on a BB field ;)

Thrud looks great!! And I REALLY like the mino. It has the same killer feel as the 2nd ed two part mino, that IMO some of the later miniatures don't.

although I too would be reluctant to hack up a ltd edition mini, you do appear to have done a decent job, especially with the axe hand. I'd not have used that base myself though, as it's not often you get knee high boulders on a BB field!

Some awesome looking conversions there. I always thought that the minotaur would be a great BB fig. Almost broke down and bought the ogre during the sale last month, but bought the sculpting tools instead. I bought a Thrudd also, but can't bring myself to cut him up. He's getting painted as he is.... When I have time
