Here we have my Scars-ified dreadnoughts with TL Autocanons.

Praetor with Paragon Blade and Volkite Charger

Legion Champion with MC Charnable Sabre and Power Sword

Plus some apothecaries but they don't count.

Here are some conversions for my Night Lords

Librarian, using Grey Knight head, Stave and hand.  Would be appropriate to give him either Telepathy to terrify and control his foes or Divination to see into the future like his Primarch.

Praetor with Paragon blade

Praetor hackjob, was pretty easy to get the power sword from the Terminator kit to work, but care is required to get it right.

Although all the models in this topic are great, I'd particularly like tips on how you did both of these? Did you use much putty etc?

 

I'm rubbish you see :)

 

These two fill my Ultramarines needs.

Did a little weapon modding and a repose. A cut across the midsection was easy enough to swivel the dread to make it a little more dynamic. The saving grace about the awkward fist is that you can utilize the shoulder and 'elbow bracket' to cheat the KAC into the socket with a little bit of whitteling

 

KBA, how did you manage to get the KAC on the left arm? I'm trying to get a duel KAC (since I bought two boxes) but I am not sure where to cut on the arms to move the KAC over.

Alright, I'll try my best to explain:

 

1. Grab the power fist arm and glue it together. Snip the joint (the circle with nuts) in half. Throw the fist into the bits box.

2. Carefully start to hollow the rest of the circle joint out. You could also drill it. I found whitteling away at the plastic, keeping the curved 'end/receiver' of the arm just below the shoulder intact.

3. Grab the KAC and glue it together. Snip the arm in half this time just above the circle joint, right at the 'end/reciecer' you just spent a bunch of time carefully saving, hollowing out on the previous arm. Snip and whittle until the circle joint is exposed and ready to fit into the other piece.

4. Test fit it, it will take some more whitteling on either piece to get a nice fit.

5. Find an angle you want for the gun and glue.

 

Awesome dude thanks, I'll be trying that after work.

No putty, was just a case of snipping away at the Powersword until it had a nice fit, the angle of the model helps hide any gaps that might be there, but I'm not a perfectionist like some people.

I've done some combi-bolter conversions since then, I'll get a pic up latter.
