I see a lot of complaints about mono-pose figures on /tg/ especially since they kill conversions, so /tg/ let's see all those conversions you've done!

Dumping some of mine I guess. I'm not really too good at conversion work but I enjoy it well enough. Most are simple swaps.
1/?
2/?
Big sword for even bigger heretics. Warzone lads have some decent conversion potential.
3/?
Some slight swaps to the Dark Imperium tactical chads. Just some basic stuff to make them fit my army more.
Couple of mine.
4/?
Trying to convert Captain Karlaen into a Terminator Chaplain. Ending up going with the first pose but with the head facing the opposite way. Substituted the little bit of sprue with a Khorne Berserker helmet stuck halfway into the ground.
5/?
Goofy headswaps I was testing for Karlaen. Didn't use either of them in the end. I still like the guy on the left though. Reminds me of Squidward in his impenetrable snow fort.
>>55121064
>>55121659
6/?
Some librarians made out of Dark Angel Company Veterans and some other assorted bitz. I hated how Librarians have to be smurf blue so I put all of them in robes to minimize the amount of blue showing. Still need to green stuff some psyker runes onto their weapons but I haven't found the time yet.
>>55121726
7/?
Counts-as Mephiston for my Flesh Tearers.
8/?
Counts-as Astorath for my Flesh Tearers.
9/?
Some Devastator Sergeants converted from Deathwatch Veterans. Still need a few more of these guys to run all my Heavy weapons in a single game.
10/?
Simple headswap of SoS with the Immolator gunner helmet.
>>55121743
11/11
Just some more Greyfax headswaps I tested out.
Deathwatch capt only had ultramarine shit. I was like.... nah.
>>55121659
Noice
just a simple head/weapon swap
>>55121847
where's the head with the headset from?
>>55125288
Das also immolator kit.
Librarian
Here's a few I'm working on.
Captain
A small one, but switching the ugly sword for a head is a slight improvement.
And this one is made of multiple parts.
unfinished captain
beakie captain
>>55125018
does he have his own book of grudges?
8 more of these little bastards that are going to come to pieces the second I put them in a figure case
Blood Angles proxy captain
My bike sergeant.
Honor Guard
Sternguard
more sternguard
I may have gone a bit too far with the Sternguard.
I still need to make two more to add to 5 older metal ones
Did them a few years ago when me and a couple of friends did a tale of so many gamers but we didn't make it far, aim was 500 points every month till 1500, we got to 1000 before life got in the way of games and painting.
Non-defined model I always wanted to make
Probably honor guard as well
And the first and most useful captain I made, even when a librarian is still more viable
>>55125469
Hurp, posting fucked up and only copied half of the reply
My Corsair Princess (one in the middle)
Metal Autarch legs, female guardian torso, Lelith Hesperax head, Metal Autarch power sword (other metal autarch) Forge world corsair wings + fusion pistol.
The bladesworn are a mix of Dire avenger heads with the plumes cut off and filed down, Dire avenger legs for the cloth bits, Guardian torsos, Storm guardian weapons, power weapons were the corsair ones.
Have some venoms instead, These corsairs just use the avenger torsos instead, reaper launchers as missile launchers
>>55125510
why are his legs so thin and disproportionate
>>55121064
People, who whine about monoposes are teens who are proud of their first kitbash.
>>55121603
What kit is that head from?
>>55125998
It doesn't really make sense from an economic perspective to only have monopose characters. It wouldn't be any more expensive to do multipart/multipose models, and it would mean people could buy multiples of the same thing for various conversions.
>>55125333
Like the Torquemeda style you have going on.
Loving all the BA stuff
>>55121717
How well do these convert to Khorne Berzerkers?
>>55126270
>It wouldn't be any more expensive to do multipart/multipose models
I am assuming you are talking solely about plastics, because metal and resin are often the more economical choice for small companies and by virtue of their properties much better suited to monpose.Also, monopose generally allows for better looking kits because the sculpter doesn't have to worry about "posability" or compatability and can just focus on making the miniature good

>>55126758
Yeah, specifically GW's tendency to use monopose plastic.
And it's not like any of their poses look good even now...

Some people add CSM boots because they dislike the leather boots.
I saw one guy paint the bottom part of the leather boots metal, so they looked more like gaiters. Looked pretty good.
I think chain swords/axes help as well

Finally I have something to contribute to this thread. Guard body, Marine Scout head, and a piece of sprue used as a Starlight-esqe scope to make up some Guard veterans.
>>55131107
majority of the model is the Forgeworld chaos decimator, but i wasnt willing to pay for the guns so those are left over ad mech autocannon bits i greenstuffed together into guns and the nurgling is from the plaguebearers kit i think.
>>55129716
Feel free, I'm sorry that most of what I have is 40k.
>>55131192
Image rotated, ree etc.
Some melta-guns converted from grenade-launchers I have been working on.
>>55130718
I might be retarded, but is the only conversion here the nurgling?
>>55131216
Which demon engine is that? Its fucking rocks.
>>55131313
theres actually 2 nurglings, one is just haning on the back
but also no, the guns were made by me because i didnt want to pay 40 dollars for 2 butcher cannons. heres a pic of them from when i was still working on them.

I assumed that's what you were going for since, you know, nurgle
>>55129734
Nice I like it
>>55131693
I've always loved your Nurgle predator conversion the most.
Only thing I'd add is one large, bloated mutated eye and two smaller beady eyes next to the cannon barrel, simply because there's a targeting camera lens on the normal model there.
>>55131066
Breddy gud, the Veridya model is a great base for converting. Here's mine.
Here's one from last night.
>>55132886
Hell yeah! Looks great!
Put some MKIII helmets on my chads.
>>55132619
Yeah it's on hold at the moment while I move house really slowly... I started painting but was unhappy so will be starting again. Tbh was considering converting it again down to a rhino.
>>55132918
Cheers bud!
>>55125393
what're the base sets?
>>55126838
>>55126270
Posability means inevitable compromises with scale etc. Ofc. GW figures have wonky proportions anyway, so it doesn't matter as much.
>>55121506
underrated post.
the work of thepolysmith, inspiring enough that I bought one of those stupid redemptor dreads.
>>55134428
Interesting take on it. You got any pictures of the hand arm? What parts other than the dread is the whole conversion made out of?
>>55131138
Buy an immolator, learn how to recast bits.
>>55133311
Looks like Dark Eldar Wytches, at least for the body and legs. I think the left arm is a hydra gauntlet from the same kit too.
>>55126819
>>55130127
I don't hate them, but they don't usually look that 40k. This is being a fine exception.
>>55132408
>>55130964
Thanks all! And he has since been cleaned and primed I'll post results on here soon enough I'm sure.
God damn warhammer infantry are fucking hideous. I forgot how ugly they are.
UNironically think primaris marines and the big mech kits are the best things they have made in years, which is a shame because the big robutts are just fuck all for price and storage.
If kill team rules resurface, I've been thinking i might get some primaris marines and build a tiny 'chaos' force... but fuck, the rest of the figs are so ugly I'd probably never get myself to play against anyone.

>>55137506
Here's a WIP pic. He is mostly made of green stuff, wire and parts from the AOS Maggoth Lord kit. Incidentally parts from that kit have been used for my Predator conversion, Daemonprince conversion and even plague marine conversions and I still have a bunch of it left. It's an ugly model but the kit is priceless for Nurgle conversions.
>>55131635
>>55131659
>>55131672
I love these, very classic style of nurgle instead of the more cartoony modern stuff. Cracking job.
>>55131635
Think the rust on the sword needs a little bit more tone variation, like bright orange spots in some of the deeper crevices.
Also I'd suggest some more leadbelcher along the edge and some scrapes near it to make it look like its been dragged and swung about, despite its despite its corroded appearance.
Because right now that sword, which looks great in >>55138437 and has a LOT of lovely surface detail to give it life and depth is lost because of the overwhelming amount of grime.
TL;DR:
-Add leadbelcher to sides of blade
-Use a lighter metal paint to do scratches and highlight the blades edge and dents
-Take a light orange like fireslayer orange, water it down and use it like a wash to bring out all the nice sculpting work done on the corroded surface of the blade
-Extra disgusting cherry on top add nurgles rot rivulets flowing from the daemons blade hand.
here is my attempt at a adeptus mechanicus culexus assassin.
still not completely satisfied with him though.
>>55136014
It does look a bit wobbly from that angle. Other angles show it having crushed the steps behind it. So it's not quite teetering on the edge, though the angle of the feet means it still pitches forward a bit.
>>55137895
Cheeky
>>55139729
Also, it lights up. I've since fixed the rear of the left eye that was shining through too much.
>>55132978
this looks infinitely better
>>55125041
Classic!
My Emperor's Champion
I tried doing primarch/demon prince something chaosy out of girlyman but I still struggle with making his weapon not look retarded. I tried to do the Kanabo (weeb mace) but It always ends up retarded. Here's how he looks right now. All purity seals will have cuts in them.

Good stuff, I'd throw down with you with my CSM lord. Does anyone else like to do thematic encounters during their games, like rolling up with Guilliman and his pimp posses against the Swarmlord?
>>55126819
That looks like a lady I'd see leading a battlefield. Good job.
>>55135487
I call him Honor Cripple
His gimmick is that he's spartan as fuck and doesnt accept decorations. He's ended up more or less as he started out, with a bolter and his trusty armor. He will have tons of painted detail but has almost no sculpted one.
A miracle of the 41st millenium, Honor Cripple has served the chapter for centuries, and was one of the first marines to be fitted with the then-new Mk VII armor.
He's a miracle of technology, more machine than human, revered as a relic himself. . He's the chapter ancient but my marines dont carry big flags into battle. Also the honorific sergeant of the Honor Guard, a title that's never in real use.
He's revered by everyone and his advice valuable to all the chapter, including the captains, chaplains and librarians, and is always at the Chapter master's side.
He's friends with a couple of dreadnoughts and older than some others.
>>55126819
This is a really nice conversion. Not overwrought but has the right aesthetic feel. Only thing I could think to add would be a fleur de lis on one of the shoulders or painted on the loin cloth.
>>55121266
What do you guys think happened to that miniature? Couch, dog, or owl intestines?
Heres a empire knight conversion that I made, based on some of the total war models. Not the best paint job, but im happy with how it turned out.

Any ideas how I could convert my chapter's librarians to make them look a bit more wizard-y? So far, I'm going to give them all force staves (with additional adornments), and hooded or long hair and bearded heads.
Pack of Servitor Fulgurites nearly done. Got considerably better at greenstuffing over the course of doing these, and despite a few janky posing decisions from me I think they look a little better than the GW Electros and their identical gear.

This seems like a good place to ask.
Anyone know of some good sites selling lookalike minis of licensed characters? For example, Hasslefree miniatures have a few miniatures that are undeniably Scooby and the gang, Major Kusanagi, the gatling gun dude from Predator, and all that.
Klukva miniatures also has a few Overwatch minis, Black Swordsman Guts, Skull Knight, and 2B from NieR Automata under different names to avoid copyright shenanigans
