MODheim: Fishmen update; shrimp / lobster beast

He's my latest "finished" work, this one is not a conversion just a re-paint (and re-base) of a pre-painted plastic model from Privateer Press's Monsterpocalypse; "Crustaceor" monster from the Tritons faction. 

I decided to paint him blue to go with my Fishmen scheme, though if I ever do write a list for these things though this thing and the Mato will be options for the fishmen, they should be a list in themselves as well (IMO), so I made it a rather different blue scheme so that if they ever get fielded against each other they'll look like different factions.

I have another one of these that i'm looking to convert, but superglue doesn't stick to them too well, i'm going to try pinning.... but the plastic also doesn't drill well.... we'll see how it goes.

Cheers for looking :).

MODheim: Mato

DISCLAIMER: this was not my idea, it was filched over from Tael on ATT:

Another conversion that I saw some years ago and loved the look of.
I immediately went out and got most of the parts for it but was stumped for a few bits.
However just recently I was tidying my plastic pile and I came across the parts I needed to finish the conversion... !! I grabs the bits and took them straight to my desk.

some fiddling, swearing and picking apart my Superglue'd fingers later I had this to show off:

I love this little guy, I have no idea what i'm going to do with him and I only have the parts for one more, but that doesn't change the fact that I love it!

The parts are: Nid Gaunt head, OOP plastic spider (from WH quest or the OOP spider swarm), and 2 each of the 2 gaunt guns, plus one of the little toxin sack thingys (and some plastic card).

One of the most creative / imaginative conversions i've ever seen.

If anyone else has seen any really creative conversions out there on the net, please feel free to share the links!!

Have a good one.
