+++BCK's Character Conversion Challenge Announcement+++

[Cryptix]

Could you do a non-special character? Rules dont specify.

 

If we cab, I'll be converting the Lord of Contagion into a Khornate Terminator Lord.

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Nope, this is a named character challenge. 

[Kizzdougs]

Hmmm, so many great options out there...

 

Death Company Tycho,

The Sanguinor,

Huron Blackheart,

Ragnar Blackmane,

Azrael,

Grimaldus,

The Emperor's Champion,

Helbrecht,

Brother-Captain Stern,

Captain Cortez,

Inquisitor Coteaz,

Vect,

Yarrik,

Ghazhkull,

any of the Phoenix Lords...

 

And then all of the awesome characters that never had an official miniature...

Saul Taritz,

Kyr Vhalen,

Tybalt Marr, 

Maloghurst,

Kaedes Nex,

The Nemean Reaver,

Inquisitor Valeria,

Duke Sliscus,

Barron Sathonyx,

Lias Issodon...

 

The list goes on and on...

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with :tu:

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Personally, I would love to see some xenos characters since they've only recently been allowed here.

I might have to get some bitz together and make another Lady Malys then, if that's the case!

 

Either that or make an Epherael Stern ^_^

[Grotsmasha]

Dear god, please do Ephrael Stern....

[FlamingDeth]

Speaking of xenos, I may be in for a Grotsnik...

[The Traitor]

Hmmm named characters only... That might be a problem...

Would a count-as Fabius Bile be allowed? He wouldn't "be" Fabius Bile, but he would be as close as possible...

Another option would be making Kathal, first captain of the Sons of Malice, there's not much info about him, but he's a named character and appeared in an official GW story... Would that be a valid entry?

 

Edit: might end up doing Rogal Dorn for a friend based on the new Guilliman model.

WYSIWYG is in the Event Rules, so the named Character needs to have had rules in at least one Ed. of 40k (I guess RT characters would be eligible too, as long as they had rules).

[lionofjudah]

Sweet!!! My gs-fu is weak but this sounds like fun

[Morovir]

For Space Marines etc., does the power pack count as part of the torso percentage-wise?

I'm really interested in entering this one, I'd love to "corsair-up" a named eldar character or something though. Quick question though, which could lead some interesting opportunities. Can we enter a 40k version of fantasy characters? So a thousand sons version of the curseling for example?

[Grotsmasha]

Previously the backpack didn'tt count towards the percentage, I'd be a safe bet it'd be in he same here.

[Morovir]

If the character is a dreadnought, what would be the percentages? (such as Chaplain-Dreadnought Titus)

[Grotsmasha]

As there are no name character dreadnought MODELS, there wouldn't be any percentage restrictions.

Bjorn the Fell Handed is a character Dreadnought.

[Grotsmasha]

True....

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

In the Badab Wars books from FW there was a character dreadnought, Chaplain Armand Titus of the Howling Griffons and there was a model made for him.

Quite honestly, I completely forgot about both dreadnought characters and the % rules for normal figures would be more difficult to apply to a dreadnought so I think for this one I'm going to say they're not allowed for the competitive entries but a non-competitive entry would be fine. 

[MikhalLeNoir]

I think I will have a go at the Nemean Reaver^^

[Naryn]

I've been kicking around plans for Ahazra Redth for a while now, since the Space Marines line has changed quite a bit since my last one. Figure that'll be a good fit for this project.

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Good news, everyone! Prizes will now be available for this and future BCK Conversion Challenges! YAY!

[The_Stray_Idea]

I will be submitting my take on Harval Red Blade from the HH. Looking forward to seeing how creative everyone is going to get.

[Ferrus Manus]

I've got the perfect Phoenix Lord for this one...

[brother tycho]

You've got my interest brother Kage - this sounds fun.  I've been considering a project for a while, might fit nicely with this challenge.  Would entering a build of the space crusade box art captain be ok?

This is specifically a character challenge and if you can tie him to an existing character that had rules at some point, sure. If not, I plan on doing more challenges after this, including a generic HQ.
