Welcome. A veteran player of the 40K hobby from the Games Workshop.Not satisfied with standard "straight out of the box/blister" models; I like to "Konvert" to put my own interpretation or vision of how I want my figures to look. Often to project the "fluff" or for WYSIWIG. Some model ranges have a very limited variation or expression .... I like to introduce a change (Sisters of Battle). Some have an unlimited scope for variation (Orks).

Backlog Update: Meganobz

Back to clearing the backlog, and the last on the list (present list) for the Orks was the Meganobz.
Mostly in pieces these have been hanging around for ages ....... well, not anymore.

Using alternate bitz; simple headswaps and the like needed very minor konverting. Essentially they were just filing or trimming down, filling in hollows on the back of the head or the addition of trophies.
I do like to overall effect away from the standard model.

On the right, a couple of Shoota-skorcha kombi weapons. Their muzzles drilled out and the swap of a helmetted head from the plastic Black Orc sprue (WFB). This sprue is great for 'Eavy Armour swaps and guantletted hands.

To the left, shoota-rokkit kombis; an armoured visor head from the Burnaboyz sprue and a Nid spine plate on the shoulder.

The other Nob has a Cybork head, with exhaust from the new Nobz sprue.

Both needed trimming to fit into the jaw plates.









Finally, as I was another jaw plate diffy (slang: deficient), another head from the Burna/Loota sprue (Mekboy), but a faceplate/mask from the Black Orcs sprue, just stuck on the front of this shoota-skorcha kombi Meganob.






Painted up with different primary colours, based and then accompanied by my lonely Mega Armour Nob that has never seen the light of day (it needed a basing update, to tie-in with the others). Here are the finished articles.



Cabling was picked out with a simple Ice Blue and Snot Green contrast.

The list is complete ....... "NEXT!!"

About Me

My photo
A modeller, gamer, painter; in order of preference (and more like skill as well). I usually have a huge backlog of figures and projects to get done. More often than not, I will have something waiting around for years, until "The Muse" takes hold and obsession takes over. This is then usually completed; ocassional projects do stall and are left at the basecoat and metal drybrushed stage (until I can get the drive for the detail painting). Armies i currently run are WH40K only: Orks (lots & lots & lots) Blood Angels (lots & lots) Witch Hunters (lots of Sisters of Battle) Iron Fists Space Marines (developing at approx 2000pts).
