And here are a few more conversions.

Again comments are always welcome.

First pic the 4.
Second pic is a man at arms straight from the box (fireforge sergeants) with a head from a victrix roman set generous offered by Hu Rhu. The archer has a body and head from the fireforge box plus 2 GW arms from the militia empire. The only thing i made was scratch a little the arms so that they didnt look to big on this figure.
The third and forth pics are a man at arms with a West Wind head and a hood sculped on his back. The arab is a leader of a faction, again body and arms from the fireforge box, plastic arab head from GB and a iron sword made by beating a clip and shaping it with a file. The cloak is a plastic one also from fireforge with a little green stuff to disguise some errors and come to shape with the head.

They look awesome! But each time I see the topic name I expect actually transforming models. Like some sort of wargaming transformer toy.

Pinny, nice one. :-* :-*
Keep it coming.

YPU, all about transforming figures to those we like and are not available in the market or suits more for our collections.
Just that, plain simple. ;)

Thanks Rumacara,

I always find the small swap of an arm, small green stuff sculpt or a headswap make the best conversions, keeping it simple

Is that Honest Abe the Zombie Hunter or is he having a rough day at the office? :)

Nevertheless, nice conversion and end result looks very good.

Yet another cool mini, obviously ready for trouble, sword drawn and stern look on his face.

Great "allure", very smart in the posing of your rider !
 :-*

the horse is very impressive, i think. 

The GW head doesn't look too big for a fireforge. Generaly GW are nearly 32mm in scale.

You didn't have no more Westwind hooded head ?

ahahahahah   lol lol lol lol lol

sorry, i'm going out !

Hello all

Thanks for the comments Antti and Eric.
Yes Eric i didnt have none WestWind hooded head that´s why i tried that head from a wood elf.
Usually they look big but this one looks nice on this miniature and with the cloak sculped, any oversize is disguised.

Cheers

Rui
