brother_contagion Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was wondering if anyone out there has done a conversion for a Nurlge count-as for a Brass Scorpion? I honestly have no idea where I'd even start with a conversion like this, but if anyone has any I'd like to here it because I'd really want to have a Brass Scorpion but more Nurgle themed.

King Jackal Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The actual Brass Scorpion model? Check these out too http://papanurgle.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_contagion Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Wow, yeah, definitely something like that! I know Nurgle is insectoid/slimeball creatures, and it's not that I don't like the Brass Scorpion model, but maybe keeping it a scorpion but making it more organic. Is there a large enough scorpion model out there that could be converted with mechanical bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xin Ceithan Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Given the "Classic" insectoid, rusted metal and putrid flesh that goes so well with Nurgle, I would start looking at parts from Goblin Giant Spider, Skaven Pitbeast, the DE Talos and the Plague Flies, throw in a few Defiler parts and go on from there...

King Jackal Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Could you do something with Glotkin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40kChrista Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 There was this awhile back, shortly after the Lord of Skulls(LoS) was released... http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y447/40kChris/plague-robot-2_zpsd64a12cf.jpg I know it's not a Brass Scorpion, however it could be used as a jumping off point for it. Maybe 2 Defilers, from eBay, and the LoS top? The Orc Arachnarok is a great choice but maybe not big enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_contagion Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Could you do something with Glotkin? Actually that sounds like a great though idea! I've been wanting to use that model ever since it came out. Hmmm, how about using the Glotkin for the top and the Arachnarock for the lower half?

Chaeron Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 If it splits, perfect. Although the Arachnarock might be too small. Defiler legs are always good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goreshed Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I always had envisioned some sort of crab like insect for a Nurgle themed Brass Scorpion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 There's also this Nurglite conversion of the actual Brass Scorpion model, done by a fellow German hobbyist. Although I shudder at the heresy of it, it's still very good work, if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goreshed Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Out plowing over the thanksgiving time I had some time to think about what parts to use. While I haven't done any model comparison here is the general idea I had to make this crab walker come to life. Using Defiler legs (perhaps two sets) you create beefier legs (ie double up, with expanding the coverage of the armor plating) so that you have three legs on each side. The body could either be Glotkin or perhaps that giant spider used as the lower half while the upper half would be a mauler/forgefiend. Center the cannon between the two bodies. The three claws (instead of the two claws plus a tail) could be done Boneripper style from the Skaven line (two arms in the usual spot while a third is slightly up and behind one of the arms) to mount the next lines of weaponry. For the 'head' I would try to create something using some armor plating to give it the overhang of a brow line with recessed eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
