Author Topic: Some more Space Dwarf conversions. (Read 7003 times)

I was lucky enough to win this on Ebay:

30 new on sprue with six poorly assembled and a bit covered in glue... so the six that weren't on the sprues were perfect for a bit of conversion. Here is the first one:

There are areas that I think need changing... but it is a gradual process so the next one will reflect the changes.

Comments welcome

I have enough bolters, Catachan Lasguns, Cadian Lasguns and the ones that came in this box of guard... which weapons do you think would be best for the troops (I am not sold on the old school lasguns

).

Great work so far.
I was always a fan of the old Squats.
Lasguns are too skinny, not chunky enough for Squats. Go with bolters.

Looking forward to the continuation of this project.

You weren't lucky you just slavishly sated your need for shiney shiney!

Looking good though. Nice.

Looks pretty good to me. The old school lasguns would look good I think if shortened to carbines, I personally would go with bolters.

Keep it up!

The next one is in progress and will, hopefully, be better proportioned (shorter torso). I've been asked for a guide as well so that will be done while I'm converting.

The next one has been finished. In my opinion, the proportions are much more Squat like than the first one but the bolter looks a bit big for him... please feel free to comment

:

And I was asked to put together a guide to make them... it is on my blog if you are interested:

The next one will be a bit more involved because I'll have to sort out bent legs rather than straight ones... so a little more chopping and sculpting will be involved

Just like what i said on the Squat FB group, these are rather good

The third one is nearly finished (he's got a lasgun and a helmet on)... just need to finish the beard and addthe arms/weapon.

I've started painting the second one but have been slow about stuff because 'life' has kept me busy this week

There should be more pix later today
