The figure is
converted out of OOP Gorkamorka orc legs and a OOP Mutie raider top
half, his weapon head was removed previously for another conversion and a
plastic OOP skeleton weapon used instead.
Another archive conversion (I need to get somethings finished i'm running out of archive conversions!! (or at least photos of them)).
Another figure created for Fringe Wars for the mutant warband I was working on.
The model would also work in a carnival of chaos warband for necromunda... which I have only just thought of.... . I have some plague bearers kicking around too.... damn that means another warband......
The lighting is crud at the moment so you'll have to wait if you wanted some more Kroot conversion piccies.
The parts used in the conversion are:
2x pairs of necron legs.
1x Necron warrior torso.
1x Necron spine + pelvic region.
1x Terminator helmet front.
1x Defiler wavy attacky flail thingy.
6x Dwarf helmet horns.
A weapon cut off an old Eldar titan (a titan that would now be worth a lot of money... oh well).
Some greenstuff and a 25mm base.
So this guy is another archive conversion from my abandoned "Fringe Wars" Necromunda conversion. I dubbed him a "demi-warrior".. can't really explain why.... the idea behind the conversion is that there is a snake type of creature inside the suit.
The fluff in my head is that the "Ichar" a race of highly evolved sentient lizardmen were extremely advanced before their race's demise at the hands of the imperium. The Demi-warriors are an example of the pinnacle of their technology, allowing the otherwise relatively harmless sentient race of serpents that co-inhabited their world to perform functions that they have only ever dreamed of.
Although much of the technology from their home world could not be saved the Demi-warriors were capable of evacuating themselves and thus able to escape their world's demise with their Ichar allies.
Anyway, I didn't really go far enough to distinguish this from a Necron model, though a paint job would help, it's origins are immediately obvious. Also the underslung gun looks pretty rubbish and I never finished the tail.
A few years back I was working on a sci-fi project called "Fringe Wars", the intention being to create a modified version of Necromunda where you could use other races than just humans (and the few Genestealer or Ork lists out there). The below conversion was a race I had called the "Ichar", I was going to mix lizardmen with another race, much like snakes but that were implanted into a mechanical suit (converted from Necron parts).
Much like a lot of my projects the Fringe Wars project came to an end when the players at the club went off the idea of Necromunda. I'm appear to be driven by the desire to play games with races un-seen in the usual canons, but i'm stiffled by a lack of players with any desire to do the same :P. I wish I lived in a town, city where there were people with a passion to create random crap like me basically :( lol.
Anyway, incase you are curious the weapon was made out of sprue bits and a glass bead, the rest is just a lizardman skink and a bit of plastic shaving for his shoulder armour.
Well I MIGHT have something to show after the weekend is out, but in the mean time here is another archive Necromunda conversion dug out of the archives.
Again this conversion used an OOP Eldar ranger body and woodelf head, but she was finished off with a Warzone helmet and a shotgun from the OOP necromunda weapon sprue. The knife was from the OOP plastic Orlock figure.
Ugh look at the paintwork on that shotgun... shocking... :( lol.
Ugh, it's been a draining week, sorry for the lack of updates, and to top it off... I still don't have any, instead i've dug though my archive and brought you this little conversion from a few years ago.
The conversion was based on one of the OOP Eldar rangers. It also uses wood elf parts, a beastman weapon and an OOP necromunda plastic Orlock gun.
This was one of a few I did for a warband that I never finished painting (partly because I was not happy with the paint jobs). She'd probably look pretty good in a 28mm ][ Warband that I see so many of over on the Ammobunker specialist games forum.
Anyway, hopefully i'll have something new to show after this weekend, otherwise i'll have to plunge into my archives again.
