To throw my two-penneth into the mix, I remember wanting to own the OG Thunderhawk (the metal one) when it was released, because it was a great-looking model, not because I wanted to use it on the tabletop as a unit in 40K. I still want the current Thunderhawk, for that reason. I wonder, did GW start making the big FW kits because people clamoured for them as units, or because they wanted cool models to build? I got into 40K because I like making models, enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, and the setting offered both of these things, with a Gothic mash-up of Star Wars, Dune, Napoleonic Wars, and so on. I had far fewer unit choices, but each unit felt like it had an impact on the battlefield. Now, looking at the various battle reports and factions, it feels like I need to make sure all of my toy soldiers has at least AP-1 (or a gimmick rule that necessitates their inclusion) and several attacks before they are considered from the huge swathe of units that my factions can field. Obviously, in a friendly game I can field all sorts of randomness, but I still need to be mildly structured with a game plan in mind. The elephant in the room is the likes of the Knights (and other superheavies). They work well as an expensive unit in a bigger game, or as an 'all or nothing' unit in a smaller game, but they're a standard unit, you need specific models and can't just take the ones that you think look cool/have some utility but aren't hyper-focussed. One of my main group runs Knights, and if I know I'm playing him, then it'll be a right pain because my available models (which are perfectly serviceable against most other factions) for my T'au/IG/Marine armies won't have a good time against his Knights. Even my Farsight Enclaves list can struggle, despite The Eight and a bunch of other high AP stuff. -
Hey all! Have been a lurker mostly, updating my thread in the WIP forum, but was invited by @Dr_Ruminahui to post here (I didn't want to double up threads in case it was against the forum rules), so here I am! This project is primarily of the Kill Team variety (Legionaries specifically), but I have done conversion work branching into other game systems (I have a few characters representing the warband's leaders that could be used in 40k, for example). I'll be porting my work here a bit at a time, and will keep updating whenever I have something new to share. To start with, let me post my tester Marine to show off the basis of the color scheme: This is the first thing I've ever hand painted, and I'm super proud of the way it came out! I wasn't very happy with him after applying an oil wash but it has grown on me. I skipped out on some steps and rushed others, because I really just wanted to get a good look at an end result, so future testers will have more work put into details and color separation. Onto the real meat and potatoes, my conversions! I try to make every conversion unique, trying to infuse some level of personality/character into each one. I'll start off with some generic operatives, my Gunners. I tried to have a few unified themes for this trio: combi-weapons (not completely WYSIWYG for Kill Team, but I planned on painting the various non bolter parts different colors from the bolter section to hopefully make it obvious what type of weapon it is. Think hazard stripes on the melta gun casing, bright red on the flamer casing, and plasma has its obvious coils), CSM Havoc bodies, and Anvilus-pattern backpacks. Melta Gunner: My favorite of the three. The gun is from the Chaos Terminator Lord/Sorcerer box and is such a cool piece, I had to use it. Plasma Gunner: My second favorite, with a pose I'm really happy with! Flamer Gunner: I made the mistake of gluing the knife arm, so I know it's going to be a real pain to paint now that I've done my tester Live and learn! That's it for now, let me know what you think! -

That's not a bad idea. I'd done the blue to match it to the arc weapons and taser goads in the army as "electric" stuff. But I don't need to be that fixed. Might try that on the next lot. -
Transfers. The one on the sides are from the Primaris Upgrade sheet and the others from the FW Horus Hersey Decal sheet. -
