"A warriorīs faith in his commander is his best armour and his strongest weapon."
Tactica Imperium

Cleutin
The basis for this Conversion is an old Space Marine with Bolter. I filed down the bolter handle an nozzle, added the backpack with cape from the old captain miniature and painted the miniature as Veteran Sarge. After all Iīm quite satisfied with the outcome. A nice conversion I maybe will never use (just one equipment card: with this points value you must take a protective field and not be able to arm him. But he must march to the front to be of any use)

Librarian on bike
For this one I used a normal plastic bike and the librarian model with the raised Power Axe. I cut off the lower half of the Marine and put him on the bike, on the plastic legs. I added blood drops and honour badges to the bike (green stuff again). I also added the top off the Marine Standard pole and the equipment pack from the attack bike. Then standard painting and coming up with a banner design. Thatīs it.

Terminator squads
Iīll not go into detail here, but of the Terminators I converted some. One of the Lightning claw Ts. has its arm stretched out wide. I filled the gap with putty (green stuff) and covered with weapon handles cut in half to represent wires and hoses. The banner poles are from Manowar ships. Some weapon switching, skulls and blood drops, thatīs all.

Assault squad
This squad is somewhat special because I not only handpainted these damn squad badges (the lightning) but also converted nearly all models. One of the Marines makes the "devil sign" with his fingers and nearly all arms are twisted and/or bent in some way (I love the plastic arm sprue: take the "holding-bolter-up-hand", cut off as many fingers as you like and glue it/ them to the "bolter-holding-fist"). For the squad leader which is not Sarge I took the second squad leader miniature and filed off most of the badges. This gives an impressive look without looking more experienced than the Sarge itself.

Scout squads
I have only five of the new metal scouts. I gave one of the standing scouts a real cape in camouflage. Therefor I had to file off the "cloak pack" on his backpack. I then painted some paper tissue(!) and glued it to the backpack. The rest of my scout squads is composed of the good old plastic guys (Tyranid Attack, etc). They are converted very much (arm/ leg/ head repositioning, weapon switching).

Bike squadron
I heavily converted these ones because I simply love them. All plastic but detailed nevertheless. The Squad leader holds a ripped off Gretchin head in his hand (taken from the original game Gretchins 3rd edition). I glued some weapon handles and aerial parts under the head to represent spine and arteries hanging down. I built a flamer for one of the guys (nozzle from plastic flamer (base game) plus bolter body). Still another one shows its opponent the middlefinger. There are also a few minor changes I did, but of the bigger conversions comes last but not least: the Sargesī banner pole tops are cut off from the standard Marines banner backpacks.

Tarantula & Servitors
You remember Space Quest? You remember my Tarantulas. One with twin lascannon and filed off eagle, the other cut down to twin autocannon (just cutting away and drilling holes, nothing added). One servtor has an ork chainsword as arm replacement.

Land Speeders
As I love them nearly as much as the bikes, I did some work. As you maybe recognize, one of the speeders was Ravenwing. One driver presses a button on his control panel, another one shakes his fist at the evil he confronts; I replaced the Swords of the Ravenwing parts with blood drops and switched some weapons around.

Attack bikes
Not that much with these two. An honour badge here, a heavy flamer built out of the bolter and the heavy flamer nozzle from the tank kits and a turned head.

Assassin
I turned the head of the Eversor assassin. Iīd call this one of my most tricky converions because itīs a metal model and itīs quite a thick neck you have to cut through. So, if you cut it wrong you lose much. But it worked out well. And now the guy looks into the direction he should, that is along the weaponīs line of fire.

Electro Priests
These guys are heavily converted Confrontation miniatures. I took some Kelts and some Barbarians, cut off all weaponry, dangling heads etc. Then I modelled on the lightning robes on the Barbarians (the Kelts had robes).

Warhound
As the Missile launcher (not shown on the pic) was (they are not being produced anymore) just built for the Reaver model, I converted one in that way, that I cut off the axe design and modelled on the arrow with the skull inside. OK, and the banner design is by me.

Reaver
As you can see on the detail pic, I added spikes to the shoulder pads. On the spikes there are a genestealer, a dark elf, a banner and a chain with a skull.
I also glued to plastic skeletons onto the Turbo Laser Destructor. I just cut up all joints off two of the WH fantasy skeletons and glued them together again around the barrel of the weapon.
Again, both banners are created by me.
