Spacker Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 A few weeks ago I finally got around to finished my Defiler conversion for my Iron Warriors. I was never happy with the look of the Defiler kit, so pretty early on I'd decided to rip it apart. Here's the result (sorry about the paint job, I'm not a good painter and it was drybrushed in a rush to get it ready for a game). http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery/Spack49/IMG_1331 Some of the earlier WIP pics are here if anyone is interested: http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery/Spack33 ***edit: oops, thought my pics were 640 wide, I'd forgotten about adjusting the sizes recently, pic changed to url *** Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Dice Thrower Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hell yes! That's very good work you've done there! Though I miss Iron Warriors Insignia. Did that take two defiler kits? For I can't see where the scorpion tail is coming from... And if I may say so, the paintjob looks okay, we're lucky with our metal colours :D Edit: Question answered, he bought an extra Defiler Leg sprue.

pinkbunny Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 looks like he skipped a pair of legs, unless the defiler isn't an arachnid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacker Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 The Defiler never was an arachnid, it only comes with 6 legs (4 walking, 2 claws) in the box. I picked up an extra sprue for the tail (tried some other options first, none fitted the look of the rest of the parts), and sold one of the spare legs to a friend for his Defiler conversion :D Oh, and about the insignia - it'll come when I've given it a decent paint job ...

Chaplain Desmodus Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Very cool conversion. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulfenkind Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I like this one... Many defiler conversions look weird, but i actually like this one. Dont worry about the paint job, its a great picture of the model and most of the model is quite detailed in it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacker Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 I just realised - I never put the leg armour on it! I'll have to see how it looks with it on, I might just leave it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge The Weak Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Looks like the one used in khorne colours at the Uk gamesday a few years aback. A very nice conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Always nice to see the scorpion style defilers, I remember I cursed myself when the defiler kit was realeased, and I'd just assembled my own, when someone posted a defiler made to look like a scorpion. Your defiler is very nicely converted too. :D Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aretziel Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 nice work spacker ... and I never seen you here before =) only on IRC =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Gluttious Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I've seen this before and love the conversion, so seeing the WIP pics, really help see hos it goes together. Not having ever bought a defiler, my only question is, can you build this model with just a single defiler kit? I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
