That Raptor looks incredible. massive improvement on the stock pose for sure :tu:

Nemac

 

thanks alot nemac, what you think of this one then?

he is very superhero like :)

*snip*

 

Yea that is also very cool :). I really like the horizontal poses you have come up with for your Raptors. What do you have planned for the others?

 

Nemac

glad you approve, i plan on a mix of everything, a cupple in ground running, some takeing off others landing and such, all arms will be magnetized so i can change them to raptors later on if needed.

 

Damn that is one impressive repose! GW could learn a couple of things from your conversions ;).

well to be homest the base poses arnt bad, if i make another 5 ill just use them out if the box :)

[Thousand Eyes]

Loving the warp talons, a real sense of movement into them. Really nice touches.

 

It will be interesting to see how they all look flat on the table.

[Zhul]

Awesome conversion! can´t wait to see it painted!

i cant remember if i mentioned that they all have magnetized arms so i can change them to raptors later if needed.

 

it be 3 squads of 5 and then ill have a lord with jumppack aswell and he has to stand out a bit so he dosent just look like the rest of them.

 

so what do you think so far?

Really impressive, best warp talon/ raptor poses I've ever seen! They do give a sendation of movement, the reposes are briliant.

[Vairocanum]

Stellar reposes, if only GW had the stock models like yours!

[Thousand Eyes]

Now that is a lot of warp talons! Bravo.

 

Do some of them have paint on the bodies or are they cast?

thanks! really sure they are the best? maybe a tad exaggerated? :)

thank you but i still hold that the gw standard poses arnt bad ither.

hehe no they arnt cast they are bits with paint on becuase they are secondhand. gotta stick to what i can afford

[Biohazard]

Warp Talons are really nice buddy, looking forward to this lord though :tu:

thanks bio! im working hard on the lord, he is gonna be made from lots of diffrent bitz ill get some pictures for you soonish

[Sgt. Blank]

Awesome work on the warp talons - the ones leaning forward to skim along the ground look far more menacing than the take off/landing pose the stock models have, plus it gives you some nice variety to a large unit.

thanks and they arnt all done yet, my plan is to paint osl around the back of the packs and i lready sculpted flames that ill add to almost all of them so they look more flying :)

[thamier]

now the chaos lord with jump pack, i was afraid he look just like the rest of the warptalons and since he is a lord i wanted him to stand out.

 

so i tryed to add alot of detail and character.

 

 

i wonder if you guys can see where the bitz uused in hos build is from, there was quite alot of diffrent kits used on him just the head alone is from 3 diffent kits

now with the lord they are all build and ready for paint, i was going to use them for the tournament but its in a few weeks and i just dont have the time to do them justice so they be packed away for later andd ill just have to make a new list to field.

[KrautScientist]

Okay, that jump pack Lord is just freaking amazing! A perfect kitbash!

 

As for the bitz that were used, I love challenges like that, so...

 

 

• Head: Kranon's horns, a Blood Warrior faceplate and some Marine "ears". I don't know where the topknot came from, but I suspect from the Bloodwarrior kit as well...?!
• chest: Blood Warrior breastplate with skull ornaments from Kranon
• Warp Talon arms with Dark Vengeance Chosen shoulder pads
• legs: Warp Talon/Raptor legs, combined with Dark Vengeance Chosen legs
• the chains dangling from him are the chain cape from the WFB/AoS Chaos Lord Manticore
• Warp Talon/Raptor backpack with some CSM spiked and trophies grafted on

I'm still missing a bit or two, but that should just about cover it, I believe...?

[ElDuderino]

Very cool model, I love the head.was it much work to get the chest plate to fit?

[The Traitor]

I'm blown away! The model as a whole is amazing, but the mouthless head is what I still like the lost. As for the bits... I think that Kraut has it pretty much covered up! ;)

very nicely spotted, think you got everything even noticed the leg parts :) you are great at this.

not that bad actualy fairly easy then i just filled in some gaps and added a bit of spacemarine lower front half to make it more 40k and trimmed the gorget a bit

thanks, the head is really a place where most look on a model so it gives it alot of character.

[Biohazard]

Jump pack lord looks awesome. Are you planning to have him 'hovering' using his cape to mount him to the base. I love the eclectic mix of bits and Kraut beat me to the punch with the bits list.

[Vairocanum]

That lord looks stellar! The choice of bits fit together so well! Really great conversion, looking forward to seeing him painted up eventually.

[Khornestar]

Oh man, he's brutal. Ready to :cuss slay!

[BrotherJim]

That's beautiful work Thaimer. He's one of your best. I was worried who would lead your Raptor Talon but that guy is perfect for the job. He's lethal.

 

Man such an awesome conversion!

 

I'm so happy you exist :)
