Modified Warbuggy (conversion using an old model)

We acquired an old warbuggy in eBay a long time ago and it was in my brother's and mine to do list to modify it so it looked more current with the actual orks, instead of having a tiny driver and crewman.

 

The model that we bought in an almost good state and it had the body for the driver of the wartruck instead of the original one. Nonetheless it had some pieces missing like half of the engine that my brother has replaced with a plasticard box. My brother has also added a shooting box for the crewman and more armour plates to protect a little better the bigger driver. In the pictures below you can more or less see all the things that he added.

Chaos Dwarf Earthshaker Cannon (Conversion)

In this post I want to show you another thing from our chaos dwarf army, its Earthshaker Cannon.

It is based in the dwarf cannon from the Battle for the Skull Pass game box set. The conversion is pretty simple, we just added some putty to it to loose its dwarf look and enlarge the mouth of the cannon. To someone that has the chance of having the original 5th edition version it would look like a little small but it is what it is.

Vendetta Gunship for my Imperial Guard Army (cardboard made)

This is another amazing cardboard scratch build made by my twin brother, it would look even better once painted but I haven't manage to do it yet...

To make this model he didn't use any blueprint, he just made the pieces using my Valkyrie Assault Carrier.

Chaos Dwarf Bullcentaur Hero (conversion)

Today I want to show to you an old conversion that my brother and I made around June in the year 2007. It is a Chaos Dwarf Bullcentaur Hero and the pictures are also from around that time.

Folding Blood Bowl 7 pitch protected in both sides

One of the last pitch I have made was a Blood Bowl 7 pitch and I decided to go a little further protection wise in this one as opposite to the others that you can see in the Blood Bowl section of the blog.

To make it I used:

• 2 mm thickness grey cardboard
• Black Geltex
• A3 size sheets of paper
• Strong glue stick
• Autoadhesive transparent wrap

The process is quite similar to the ones that I have already written: cutting the cardboard pieces, glue them to the Geltex, glue the sheets of paper where I print the pitch. The difference comes now that on top of the printed pitch I place a new layer of autoadhesive wrap.

I use my pitch design so you may have see it in other pitches.

Penal Legion Troopers conversions

I have two Penal Legion Squads in my Warhammer 40000 Imperial Guard army. Both of them are made using the Catachan Guards plastic miniatures for the penal legionnaires and one Cadian imperial guard as the custodian. I decided to paint their "uniforms" orange as if they where took in a hurry from a prison and there wasn't any time or money to give them more than a lasgun.

In the unit description it is said that:

New legionnaires have their heads shaved and tattooed with their insignia. Explosive collars are clamped around their necks. The collars are a disciplinary device, primarily designed to discourage a prisoner from attempting to escape. The blast from one is directed inwards...

That gave me an idea, "shaving" the head of all the miniatures wasn't the one, it was to make some collars with green stuff. Nothing fancy, just a flatten putty sausage and a small square part to make the explosive part. Even if it isn't to obivius it gives them a little more aspect of penal legionnaires.

My brother's Clan Pestilens Skavens

Sometime ago I posted my brothers Plague Furnace, in this post I will include all the Clan Pestilens units in my brothers Skaven army.
