Those hands are smashing guys. I’ll definitely be ordering a few and some chain blades when I get round to my next batch of berzerkers. Plus I can see them being very useful for certain weapons from FW. Are you considering doing some human scale ones?

@Onboard61

 

Thanks, glad you like them.

Yes, I will do hands (and arms) as well for other factions then "armoured heavy and super heavy" infantrie, such as guardsmen and even xenos at some point.

It will be tricky though, cause with guardsmen for example the sizes of their arms and hands are much less "uniform" than with armoured infantrie... (I will have to see how I approach this. Most likely with different versions...)

Hi. Any plans for dreadnought arms?

[Panzer]

Hah, if you'd do a Redemptor Dreadnought arm with a Force Halberd I'd buy it instantly from you. Would save me a lot of work converting a regular Redemptor to a Librarian Dread.

[Aegir_Einarsson]

Niw, when FW arms are out for normal dreads, i thinking is huge niche. And no one do This from 3rd party bits companies

Just ordered about 30 of the heads and 5 swords with the bolter built in for my Black Templar successor the Argent Saints. Cannot wait to start the build.

Here’s my second review of Conversion World - they really know what they’re doing !

Hey guys,

I know it´s been way to long since my last product-new-release, but now I have finally something new to show. Here´s our now available "Planet Eaters Masterly Chainaxe". I hope you like it... It´s available as a single piece as well as in a value pack of 10.

Any chance for iron hands inscribed shields or weapons?

[Laughingman]

I have bought Items before from conversion world, they do good work, clean casts, with minimal prepwork required

 

Example of a Halberd they make on a heresy era dark angel...

I've been meaning to pick some hands up for a while; are they easy to work with?

[Conversion World]

@DutyBeforeAll

Yes, I will surely do some more stuff that will match the Iron Hands in the future and adding some engravements such as "Ferrum" or so will be an easy thing to do.

 

@Laughingman

Thanks for sharing that pic and for giving your opinion on our bits. Happy to hear you like them.

 

@Isinfier

Well, I would say "yes they are", but maybe it´s more meaningful if somebody else confirms this too... 

Maybe also scroll through my Instagram account, for there I did - amongst other things - repost some pics of customer-minis using those hands.

Could you see yourself doing some work for templars?


Those halberds look outstandig, could definitely See myself using them

Cross-shaped sword guards would be awesome

[Conversion World]

@ Marshal Vespasian and Elzender

Of course their will also be Knight/Templar Knight themed stuff. For example shield with a templar cross and swords.

Really nice chainblades here. The longsword is a good idea, and I'm a fan of the 2-handed chainaxe. Do you have any plans to make more chaos-friendly designs in the future?

[Laughingman]

None of the following is criticism of Conversion world they do good work, it just things you need to note before you start cutting...

 

 two handed swords, they are long.... and the grip is too large for traditional hand conversions... Not really a problem if you plan, and use the conversion world hands, but the hands were not designed for MKIII/MKIV wrist guards in mind, which can lead to complications...

[Urauloth]

That blade looks taller than the wielder in that picture? I like it.

[DutyBeforeAll]

Since you’re already doing hands, any chance for a bionic kit? A bionic hand in the style of your other ones would be great. The problem I’ve found with other third party bionic sets is that they don’t match up with GW style.

Not saying I’d want a complete copy, but I’d want it not to look out of place. A chest piece like the official ones but with chapter symbols imstyof the Aquila or winged skull would be awesome, maybe a set chapter customized.

Like cables and mech details for iron hands, scales for salamanders, ect.

But while full arms and legs would be nice, I’d really love a left hand bionic set. Other companies bionic hands tend to be to skeletal for my tastes. I’d like them to look just like the ones that you already have, except for the back of the hand to be mechanical.

 So .... they would be perfect for a Primaris model?

Considering the size on that model they would be a bit too long for primaris too but in 40k weapons are usually oversized

Oooh. Any katanas and future head options?

Depends... I think they are similar in size to the FW Legion heavy chainblades, Even at Primaris scale it would likely be a chest high weapon...

 I would have prefer them to be similar in size to 30K  Swagismund's  "black blade"....

[Conversion World]

Thanks for all your questions and comments guys, and sorry for the kind of late replies...

 

@Urauloth:

Yes definetively. I plan on pretty much doing a lot more of everything in the future, including some more stuff that will match the CSM quite well.

 

 

@Hungry Nostraman Lizard:

Yes to both. A Katana is already wip. I plan on 3 versions, one still in the saya (sheath), one with only the sword and one half drawn.

Some more heads and helmets are also wip already and many more are planned. (Roman-style helmets, norse-style helmets ...)

 

 

@DutyBeforeAll

I will see what I can do about that very specific request for bionics.

As for themed legs, torsos etc. that´s something I very well plan on doing as well. Along with backpacks. I will do some generic stuff at first, but will later one dive hard into specifically themed stuff.

 

 

@Laughingman

Thanks for sharing that pic and your opinion and preferrences about the size of my 2-handed swords.

I am sorry that you personally feel like they are too long, but I guess it really comes down to personal taste with questions such as this.

If you would ask me, I - obviously   - would say they are just right for a 2-handed sword that should be compatible to the GW range of miniatures, in which, as we all now, weapons traditionally tend be be oversized...

I did take a quick picture (please excuse the poor picture quality) though, to show one of mine 2-handed swords in direct comparison to some GW swords. I did try to allign them so, that the ends of the grips of the swords, where the grips meat the crossguards, are on line with each other. All of these swords, exept for the BA sword on the far right, GW is selling as 1-handed swords...
