Oh, this loveble thread! 
finally I've got something to share here. This is a fantasy steampunk warjack for my little imperial army. The theme is based on the symbol of a italian noble family wich dominated Verona (my born town) in late middle-age: white ladder in red field stands for Della Scala family, aka Scaligeri, loyal to the german emperor. Verona's flag is just blue and yellow so I used on my army mostly the three basic colours. Well...back to the mech! It is a Warmachine Khadhor heavy jack and I bought it essentialy because it was a new plastic kit. I sanded the shoulder left hole to put inside a magnet to be able to switch between different arms with different weapons.



then i cut away the big axes it had as I wanted only a big iron fist for the first arm option. A magnet and it was ready. I wanted a fire weapon too and so I've added to his original small cannon some bits from the gw imperial great cannon.





here's the finished model in his two versions















aaand...
In this period I'm planning to run a Pike&Shotte&Zombies game/campaign so I made a little kitbashing (gw greatswords and gw pistoliers) to create a ferocious survivor: Arroganzio, mercenary, veteran, brave bastard! Here is some pics







and with two fellows...


Hope you like it guys! C&C welcome

cheers

thank you Jack Italian cities lords banners and colours are really a good inspiration source for imperial minis. And I love to have a "theme". Scaligeri story is really cool for me. If you are interested: Scaligeri and Cangrande Della Scala the man I would like to lead my army

In case I don't get this painted in time for Christmas (the mini only arrived yesterday and I'm still waiting for some bits to set), then, in the words of Mr Frank Turner,

"... but on the day I die I'll say,
'At least I f***ing tried!', and that's
the only eulogy I need."



This is my interpretation of Captain Christmas, one of several personifications of Christmas who kicked around in 17th century England before everyone settled on Father Christmas.  It's a TAG Swedish standardbearer.  I've added a fur lining to the cassock, a bough of mistletoe, and a tall hat crowned with holly and wrapped with ivy.

A photo of the finished model will go up on my "At Hobbs Hill, 1645" thread.

Edit, Christmas Eve: now done and posted.

Only just discovered this thread!
 
Some great stuff on here, great for inspiration.

Thought I would contribute something I did some time ago;


A couple of alternative Nurgle Beasts or any other kind of gribblies that you care to think of.

The one on the left is mostly GW with a new head, the other two are almost complete sculpts with the exception of the claws.

They were all slightly different to represent male (centre) with large slashing claws, female (right) with digging claws for burying eggs and male child (left).

Nice one, Steve  
Oh, and thanks to your "Hobbs Hill" thread I ordered the Dismounted Officers

Just a minor conversion here, gave the "Pact of Wolves" Marksman the "Whirling Blades" Fronsac is using in the final battle.

These are my latest two - pretty entry-level compared with what else is here, but I had fun doing them.

The originals are ex-Reiver Castings, from their Glorious Revolution range, and are shown with the conversions for reference.

simple conversion... turn a goblin pirate into a monkey pirate.

I also do have some of those models. The poses are great, but the clothes are just TERRIBLE. painting them right is quite a big issue. :-\
