Converting cooler and cheaper models
Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2006 11:32 am
As we all know, money is (almost) always a problem for wargamers. Buying those expesive metal blisters will always ruin you, but without them your army is seriously lacking.
Here are some examples and tips for how players can substitute metal models for cheaper plastic ones, as well as customizing your minis to make them more personal and cool. I've simply used plastic boxes that make one type of regiment, to make another instaed.
Feel free to comment the sloppy painting etc, this thread is mostly to give people ideas about cool conversions. I'm not showing of my painting 'skills'(anyway, many of the pictures are abit bad, the colours are not correctly shown etc, but like I said, I want to show off the models, not the paintjob), I'm showing of my conversion SKILLS!! Hopefully, everyone who reads this thread will contribute with at least one idea that hasn't already been mentioned. I'd like to hear your tips too!

They are made from plastic empire knights, with dark elf torsos and heads, bretonnia lances, with dark elf speartips and sheilds. The "wings" on the back of their helmet comes from a plastic bretonnia knight head.
The banner comes from chaos warriors, the skulls from a marauder banner and the dragon on top from the helmet of the old elector count on griffon.
The champion is weilding an empire militia greasword. The spikes on the horses legs are tips cut of dryad arms and stuff.
Edit: I realize now that some of my conversions are now obsolete, since GW has released plastic kits for them. Below are some of my outdated cheap conversions.

I bought a box of 40k 'Ard Boyz and simply assembled them without guns and gave them sheilds and choppas and command. Quite easy and cool.
Alternatively, if you are even cheaper, buy a box of normal orcs and assemble them and order some metal black orc heads for them.
Ghouls:
http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/8162/img00573nj.jpg
I used zombies. The body without shirt(not the one spilling its guts) and the legs with loincloth work best. Arm them with something pointy or some random body part.

They are made from plastic empire knights, with dark elf torsos and heads, bretonnia lances, with dark elf speartips and sheilds. The "wings" on the back of their helmet comes from a plastic bretonnia knight head.
The banner comes from chaos warriors, the skulls from a marauder banner and the dragon on top from the helmet of the old elector count on griffon.
The champion is weilding an empire militia greasword. The spikes on the horses legs are tips cut of dryad arms and stuff.
Edit: I realize now that some of my conversions are now obsolete, since GW has released plastic kits for them. Below are some of my outdated cheap conversions.
Black Orcs:

I bought a box of 40k 'Ard Boyz and simply assembled them without guns and gave them sheilds and choppas and command. Quite easy and cool.
Alternatively, if you are even cheaper, buy a box of normal orcs and assemble them and order some metal black orc heads for them.
Ghouls:

I used zombies. The body without shirt(not the one spilling its guts) and the legs with loincloth work best. Arm them with something pointy or some random body part.
