Foetid Bloat Drone Maggoth Conversion II (Even Nurglier than the first)



It always comes back to Nurgle, right? My love of Nurgle models goes waaaaaaay back to the earliest days of the hobby for me with Epic Mortarion, original Plaguebearers and the Realm of Chaos. In the theme of unchained, silly monsters, I offer my second Foetid Bloat Drone conversion.

Alpha Legion Khorne Berzerker Conversions from Primaris Reivers and FW bits


I've made some Khorne Berzerkers for my Alpha Legion. I really liked what I did with my Agressor Conversions so I decided to use Primaris Marine Reivers as a base for my berzerkers. I wanted to add some seriously Khornate stuff, but leave them a little toned down and give them the "behind enemy lines feel," so I left chainswords off the menu and went with only blades (another reason to use the Reivers). I also used the Forge World berzerkers helmets and shaved off the huge crests (bunny ears to the initiated, lol). Let's take a look though ...

Alpha Legion Obliterator Conversions from Primaris Aggressors!


TJ here with some Alpha Legion Primari ... um I mean Obliterators! In all seriousness, I love the idea of ALpha Legion getting their hands on Primaris Gene Seed and corrupting it! These Aggressor models make great oblits with some slight modifications. Let's see what I did ...

A Typhus Conversion and Dreadnought step forward for Helloween 2017


TJ here to rock some simple starter kit conversions for my Death Guard. Now DG are not a priority army for me right now. I have my Alpha Legion and World Eaters taking most of my attention at the moment. This means that any DG I make are going to come from kits I already own or from the seven, YES seven! Dark Imperium Nurgle sets I have been gifted or discount sold by my friends.

First off is Typhus. Yes, I know, he is another conversion based on the Lord of Contagion, but it's what I have to work with. Hopefully, I have made him unique enought with the addition of some Destroyer Hive flies thanks to the Maggoth kit and a scyth also from the same kit.

Maggoth Foetid Bloat Drone Conversion! Helloween 2017


TJ here with my late entries to the DFG tradition of Helloween! I always create or paint horrific models around this time of year and share them here in celebration of Halloween! Today we will look at one of the few Foetid Bloat Drones I converted with the Maggoth kit! Let's check this gasbag out!

DIY Dreadclaw from a Drop Pod Conversion Tutorial Revisited!




TJ AKA Old School Terminator (I love dropping names I haven't used since 2012) here to talk about converting Dreadclaws for your Chaos or you 30k army using just a single drop pod kit (technically less than the whole kit). I really dig the fact that using units like the Dreadclaw is becoming more widely accepted. Playing with these units shouldn't break a player's budget and it also shouldn't force them to resort to using the dreaded Pepsi Bottle Proxy. I want to revisit this tutorial, brush up the explanations and help distribute it to a whole other generation of players. Let's take a look.

New Nurgle, pt. 2 -- a hands on with the new Putrid Blightkings



Hey everyone, KrautScientist here. In the last post published here on DFG, TJ already talked about the possible conversion potential of the new Putrid Blightkings. And now that the kit has been with us for a while, allow me to talk in more detail about my own experience with these guys. Step this way to learn more.

New Chaos Daemons and CSM models available from new Fantasy Release!


TJ here to talk about the upcoming Nagash releases for Warhammer Fantasy and how they are pretty much the best thing model-wise for Chaos converters to come along in a long time. Let's take a look at the new possibilities before us!

Knight Fever


 Hey everyone, KrautScientist here. Seeing how TJ's latest posts have been focused on Knights and similar superheavy walkers, I thought I'd ride the same wave and talk about converting Imperial Knights to Chaos.

Having worked on my own Chaos Knight conversion recently, I have put a fair bit of thought into the business of building Knights to fight for the ruinous powers -- and it would certainly make lots of sense to make you dear readers profit from the research I did for my own project, right? Thought so! Now if you would step this way, please...

The Drawing Board: Concepts for Conversions and How I Approach a Project Initially


TJ here and you are all either going to love or hate this post because it is filled with a bunch of crappy doodle I have been making in my notebooks during the less productive moments of meetings. Now normally, I would never post anything like this, but I did get an e-mail recently that asked me how I come up with my conversions and if I just endlessly peice plastic parts together until I find the right look or if I am some kind of natural ... I don't really do either. In order to come to an idea like the angry robot above, I first hit the drawing board and see what comes out of it. Let's take a look at the process.

My very first Obliterator...



Hey everyone, KrautScientist here. Today I would like to talk about a model that seems to have been ages in the making: I recently managed to finally complete the very first Obliterator model for my World Eaters. Now why did it take me so long? After all, it could have been as easy as picking up a box of Oblitz from my FLGS, assembling them and slapping on some paint, right? Where's the problem?

Yes, well. I have a bit of a complicated history when it comes to Obliterators. Allow me to elaborate.

Maulerfiend Conversion Finished and Painted: The Mammoth Walks Among Us!!


TJ here with another conversion for my army - this one has been caled the Mammoth for some time (though it really has no mammoth like qualities, but I digress ... This is one of the last conversions I will be able to paint before I leave for 8+ months ... actually, it may be the last! Let's take a walk around the model and look to the future possibilities for the army of the Apocalypse!

The Mammoth is Ready for Paint: Maulerfiend Conversion Taken to the Next Level!


TJ (AKA the artist formerly known as Old School Terminator) here with an update on the "Mammoth," my Maulerfiend conversion. This one may be huge, but it was a quick project for me. Let's take a brisk run around the model.

Chaos Sorcerer Biker Conversion: Hit the Road with a Horseman of the Apocalypse!


TJ here, dropping in after the holiday break to present you with a little conversion I whipped up for one of my Chaos Sorcerers - Ashiok, (or if brevity isn't really your thing) the Herald of the Army of the Apocalypse, Diviner of the Inevitable, Summoner of Swarms and Blight of 1,000 Battlefields. Enough pomp and circumstance though, let's take a look at the latest sorcerer to enter my cabal.

My Army: A Year of Daemons and Evil Things! Happy New Year!


TJ here with a ton of photos of my Army of the Apocalypse, otherwise known as my Chaos Space Marine and Chaos Daemon army. Along with a few other projects (commissions and such) and between military moves (one deployment and four exercises in 2013), I have worked on this army and with the help and encouragement of readers and close friends, it has been great. Let's take a look at some group photos as we close out 2013 and look toward another year of adding to this crazy army!

Crazy Maulerfiend Conversion Part 1: The Stone Horn Cometh!


TJ here and it really seems like I cannot stop making giant monsters for my Chaos armies. This time, I am working on a Maulerfiend with some major kitbashing going on. This is just the first of several posts that will take you along on the ride for this conversion. Let's take a look at where we stand right now.

Skull Cannon of Khorne Conversion Painted and Ready to Roll!


TJ here with my latest Daemon project. This time, I have a Khorne Skull Cannon conversion using the original model, a Juggernaut and some Green Stuff. When I first started this project, I honestly felt like it would bore me to death, but I have found that this has been way more fun to paint that I at first imagined.
