Dingbat's Chop Shop

[Dingbat]

Im making this thread in tandem with my painting thread(which is very sparse at the moment) to get some feedback on some on conversions and keep me motivated. I have TONS of half finished projects that need to either be finished or scraped.

I also made a 6'x4' board a couple of months ago and am steadly working on terrain to fill it. Most of it is half baked ideas with 10 minutes of actual work done.

Lets see what we got...

First up I have a brood of 3x Biovires I kitbashed using a 3rd ed. Biovore body, a gene stealer blind head and a pair of the old rending claws from the 3rd ed. bioweapon sprew.

The necks were "resculpted" as vest as my lame skill would allow.

Not the most original conversion, but those heads and arms are wayyy better than the originals...I think.

Thoughts? Room for improvement?

Thanks jbizzy

Rember the Doom? You know, that big brained fella that was way too random to use competitively, but too much fun not to use?
I miss him...

He still needs alot of work to finish him up. Now that he's MIA from the index (cross fingers for codex) he'll be my Neurothrope as Im too cheap to drop coin on the plastic kit.

Hey all!
The converting and terrain aspect of this hobby is really what keeps me into it.
I like to play, but like converting and hacking stuff apart way more. This is probably why I have a pile of half finished projects and still havent played a game of 8th yet.

Ive always wanted a game table of my own and since I now have a man-cave I figured "what the hey?" The theme of the table and terrain will be: overgrown city turned jungle. This should give me options for cityfight and dense jungle. Its only a 4'x 6' as a 4'x8' would be harder to store and kill most of my space. Ill have to snap a pic of it, but most of the following terrain pieces are taken on it, so you'll get the general idea of the finish.

Made these for some LOS blocking terrain out of driftwood bark from the beach on old CDs with spackel to fill the joints/make the ground uneven. I have since based them with sand and primed them black.

Building wise I dont have much...yet. Way back when the imperial sector buildings first came out (late 3rd?) I won the big box in a local GW painting competition. I cant wait to get those assembled now that I have a place for them.

i like yer doom, some people got a little crazy with the modelling i think yours turned out nicely.

I like the biovores, the only thing that bugs me is one of the gun models has a hand sculpted into the side of it that could do with filing down.

Your screen stuff skills are insane! Nicely done.
