Grotsmasha's Conversion Challenge 5: AoM Completion Thread


Recommended Posts

Time for round 2, my MotF with power sword, unfortunately the arm and body both come from Chronus so doesn't qualify, but I really like this guy (not so much the finecast servo arms, took a lot of bending to get them mostly straight).

Heres my entry. :) Hope its okay to have bits tacked on. The servo skull is for instance, cause i want to paint it seperately.

Cause most marines are shooting guns or waving swords, i thought i'd get this Techmarine preparing to do some repairs. Here he's putting in commands for his servo-arm / checking vehicle schematics. ;)

I like what I'm seeing so far biggrin.png so far my favorites are magicman's and Aquilanus'. The former has a charming simplicity to it, and the latter really captures the creepiness that adepts of mars exude in the artwork.

Edit: Pics!

I think a couple of you guys might want to reread the 25% rules for the challenge. Just a piece of helpful advice.

I'm just glad I'm not the one having to adjudicate on this ! Could be a weekend and a half for poor 'smasha ! laugh.png

I'm pretty certain mine doesn't adhere to the rules. I did mine for the fun of it smile.png

Absolutely love what's been posted so far, and I've seen a fair few ideas that I will be 'borrowing'...

 

Here's my attempt, 30K era techmarine. The legs came from a previous (failed) conversion and are mostly painted, and the torso, head and backpack are base-coated. I hope that's not a problem?

Well lads, this is it, 7 days to go!!!!!

 

@ Squeaky: Very nice GS skills, I'm a little jealous of you guys who can achieve so much with it.

@ ninjasuperspy: Very nice combo of bitz, I might need to look into those Kromlech legs...

@ oldschoolsoviet: Loving the melta-axe!! 

@ Daemonifuge: That Servo-harness has come together really well :tu:

@ Skoby: That loincloth, so well done :tu: and yep, Failcast *sigh*

@ Magicman: You know I hated that helm when I first saw it, but now? The more I see it, the more I want to find a reason to use it. I love the idea of a Techmarine, you know, fixing stuff rather than bashing skulls, seem appropriate

@ Aquilanus: Excellent fluff to accompany a very unique conversion :tu:

@ BassWave: I love that cog pattern on the HUGE sword, I LOVE huge swords....

@ Brother Martemis: Good news!!! I can't see anything that excludes your entry, as plastic kits are exempt from the 25% rule. Futhermore, that is one badass Warpsmith, I'd have never considered converting a Centurion in that way. Kudos dude.

@ Sgt. Sharpe: Nice tidy kit-bash, well done :tu: also, are they Anvil legs? I've been meaning to try them out.

@ Grotsmasha: Well done me, you've stopped procrastinating.

@ Huberticus: BITZ, bitz everywhere!! That servo-arm has turned out quite well. 

 

Alrighty then, Update time, Week 3 done and dusted just 7 days to go......and we've had a great two weeks with 12 new Completions;

<p>Grotsmasha, yes they're Anvil legs. Their resin quality is pretty amazing, no bubble's on 15-20 bits i ordered a while back. Only issue i had was they're a little slow to ship my order out. But all in all great products. Also they sell chain-halberds, and the only people that hate chain-halberds are the ones on the receiving end.<img alt=":lol:" class="bbc_emoticon" src="http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png" title=":lol:" /></p>
