40k onlines Convert An Army Comp

REGISTRATIONS HAVE CLOSED! No new entrants!


Rules for this section are as follows

Posting of WIP progress is to be done in here, in a couple of ways

1 - Post your pics up, and update that post each time you have some progress.

2 - Each time you have more progress, make a new post, this option is there for those of you who might want a complete work history for the army as a tutorial for others that might wish to do something like it.

COMP IS NOW OFFICIALLY OPEN

Good luck to all of you.

CHAOS !!!!!!!

DECEMBER 1, 2007
TO DO LIST:

Since the points cost is upwards of 3000 points, I’m using 2 Force Organization Charts, to make this army legal in 40K and NOT an apocalypse army.

0=Not started
1=Organized Bitz
2=Skeleton Completed
3=Greenstuff
4=Completed ( Strike through it )



4-Daemon Prince
4-Daemon Prince
1-Daemon Prince
3-Abaddon
3-Greater Daemon
3-Greater Daemon
4-10 Plague marines, 900 points penalty. (from Ellobo's contest)
4-10 Plague marines
3-10 Plague marines
3-10 Plague marines
4-3 Obliterators
3-3Obliterators
4-Defiler, not sure if I want to update it, but I’ll count it as a 100 points penalty.
2-10 Raptors

3-6 Lesser Daemons
3-10 Chaos Spawns
3-Chaos Eldar, Jetbike army (playing with the idea, count as bikers)

3-10 Chaos Tau Firewarriors (Noise Marines)
2-1, Chaos Devilfish, (Rhino)
4-2 Chaos Fireprisms (Predators)

2-1500 points of Deathdealers BFG fleet. (using Tyranid Rules)

Basic: 1000 points.
Penalties: 1000 points.
Total Minimum: 2000 points.

Total Chaos army: 3998 points + 1500 BFG fleet.

This is roughly what I think I’ll be doing from now til through May… all conversions.

PROGRESS:

DECEMBER 03, 2007 through DECEMBER 08, 2007: http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=145682.msg1816749#msg1816749

Good show, the modeling begins TONIGHT!!!
Maybe the regiment consists entirely of Ninjas who were orphaned by Dark Eldar slavers. With a score to settle, these black clad night assassins fight against their hated parent-murderers with laser shurikens and untold ferocity.

reserving this space for first wips and updates :) good luck to everyone and happy modelling

ok well last night i got to work... unfortunatly im very restricted to what i can do until christmas as i dont have any decent tools to do the jobs that i want

i got one guy done, the Sgt for Tact squad 1... this guy features parts from the commander sprue aswell as normal sprues and i have repositioned his sword arm with greenstuff to make him look more dynamic.  I have also greenstuffed a skull into his knee cap but i am undecided whether i like this or not (would ultramrines have skull decals in their armour) and secondly i cant decide whether it looks too "choasified" i know thats not a word but its the perfect word for what i mean
will post pics tonight

And so I begin the journy that is this competiton! Here is my City clearance force of IG:

HQ
Senior Officer and Retinue

HQ Support
Fast Reaction Vehicle (Sentinal) squadron
http://www.skunkbutt.com/atruck.jpg
http://www.furnation.com/Skunkbutt-Productions/atruck2.jpg

Elites
Hardend Vets
Hardend Vets
Hardend Vets

This is a small collage of troops I'm working on.  Most of these are of the Sargents of the various squads. Forgive the poor paint job, I found the black primer didn't show up well, and needed something for contrast (And yes, I was so into it I forgot pictures, but most of them are fairly easy to see what I did.)  The top one originaly had a plasma pistol, but I cut the hand off and replaced with the sword hand from the basic sprue(all metal mini). The second one down was a fairly simple chop and swap, using the shotgun arm from the Marine scout bikes. The one on the bottom left was my attempt for a Mr. T type Sarge, down to multiple gold chains and a purity seal instead of medalion.  The guy on the top right....Well, that just speaks for itself.   And for flavor, I tossed in a fuzzy picture of my heavy flamer man, created useing the flamer from a sentinal and fuel packs, stringing them together with some small tubing and greenstuff.


Troops
Grenadiers

Total: around 8 or 900, with weapon options and the like.

awesome =)

 will likely start tomorrow , can't wait.

 list is looking to be something along the lines of..

Wraithlord, EML + bright lance,
Wraithlord with scatter+starcannon ( might change)
5 dark reapers, exarch with tempest + crack shot

2 squads of 10 defenders with platform,
thinking of doing a farseer, likely with guide/mind war,
and possible dire avengers,

wraithlords are built, no heavy converting..just repositioning etc, also added a little GS to make the head more dynamic and interesting,

 not sure how to convert guardian defenders/dark reapers...really stumped on these, :S

 my theme is a sort of primitive tribal eldar culture.  Still technologically advanced, but culturally somewhat regressed.. so think tribal ha..

I carry with me an Inquisitorial Seal. It is a small, unassuming object contained in a neat box of Pluvian obsidian. It is a modest thing. Relatively plain, adorned with a single motif and a simple motto. Yet with this little object I can sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a billion souls to Oblivion.

I just want to be 100% certain.

Yes that is correct, sorry if I confused anyone. You dont just have to limit yourself to one post that you edit each time you have an update, I for one like to follow the progress of works like this from it's infant stages to being a full fledged monster.

As stated, if you only want to make one post and edit that each time your posting updated pics, then thats fine.

If you (like me) like to show the evolution of models/armies by making regular posts that people can still refer back to, that is also fine. This is my preffered method, as it's how I do my WIPS.

Now that I have hopefully cleared that up for you all

CONGRATULATIONS to all of you that have registered and entered for this, it is my hope that this will not be a one off comp and that we will be able to see a yearly version of it. So I thank you all from the bottom of my chaos heart for taking the time to make this, the "First Annual 40k Online Convert An Army Competition", the best it can possibly be. We have alot of talented modellers involved in this aswell as some true veterans of the field. Just make sure that each of you gives advice and praise where neccessary and most importantly have fun.

The Tariff Fleet makes planetfall!

( Forward scouts report massive numbers of incredibly scary types in every direction, including those rigid and grumpy   
  space-marines. This could get ugly.)

Okay, here are four pictures of the work in progress, preceded by a wrenching confession, which begins here:
 - this is my first contest on these boards, and, ignorant of the rules, I screwed up. When I signed up for the contest, I had just begun converting the Tariff fleet, and didn't think to hold off until the 'official' start date. This means I've been converting since
November 20th or so, when, apparently, I shouldn't have been. If this means I can't compete, I accept that, or, more happily,
if there's an increase in the total points I need to convert to compete, I'd gratefully accept that. Either way, I'll still be converting the army, and would like to post here to share in the experience.

On to less embarrassing stuff ; photos, poorly taken:
First Ogryn - will stand in for tyranid warrior with devourer and scything talons - chain-cleaver to be added.

Second Ogryn, chain-cleaver will replace sword, same weapon as above.

Third Ogryn, again, still doesn't have his cleaver, armed with venom cannon eq.

First infantry squad, will be replacing oh-so-squishy gaunts. Devourers and extended carapace, topped off with fleshhooks.

This model will stand in either for a carnifex or a hive tyrant, on a suitably enlarged base..with a large chainsword, powerfist on trailing hand, beefed up armor, et

That's about where I'm at. Hopefully, I'll be starting work on my Ravener-standins soon...cavalry on mini-sentinels, with lances and sabers..which could wind up being fairly cool or monumentally stupid. Here's hoping.
Happy modeling, everyone.

All right, I got excited and started slapping paint down on some of my first (minor) conversions.

These're Salamanders.  Since Salamanders come "from a society that places great prestige in craftsmanship and which has high regard for artisans," and has close ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus, well, you can maybe see the direction I plan on taking this.

Company Champion. Gave him a Nosferatu collar and a head swap from a Black Templars sprue.


Test color scheme, and modeled a Salamander head onto his shoulder.  Very much WIP.


Veteran Sergeant.  All those medals and hanging papers are greenstuffed.
