Post subject: | Converting a Mk3 Warlord |
Hi folks I've recently taken up the challenge of creating an AMTL demi-legio and decided to stick to using the metal lucius pattern model for my Warlords. I've already managed to do one conversion that I'm qute proud of but when it comes to my next one I'm a little stumped. I was hoping for some advice or pictures of what other people have done in the past. I'll maybe post a picture of my first conversion but it'll need to wait till I'm back at a PC tomorrow. |

well, what are your goals for the conversion? Is there a theme you are going for? I would also love to see your conversion that may inspire some ideas as well! |

When I get some more games in I think I'll have a bit of an idea of how to arm my titans, so just now anything will do. My conversion is just a fairly simple weapon upgrade to have a power fist, plasma destructor, laser blaster & plasma cannon. Will get picks of it up tomorrow. I will eventually be magnetising any weapons I make to allows changes between games. My current idea for my next titan is a trio of missile launchers & a landing pad, I was going to use some drop pod deathwind launchers for the arms and terminator ones for the carapace. The landing pad would just be plasticard and brass etch. Thanks for the pics, Dave. It'd be awesome if I could see more shots of CaptP's warlord if possible. Also big thanks to ragnorok, lots of cool ideas in there. |

Dont forget to check out shapeways for generic robot fists, I beleive Lsutehall posted some comparisom pics up here a while back too. http://www.shapeways.com/model/71389/ro ... id=mgrobot For me the biggest problem making a Mk3 look unique is the rather generic pose, if you want something a little different have a look at changing the position of the legs. Other than that head swaps with older Mk heads are often good. I've seen a nice Mk3 custodian conversion a while back (? by ManofKent ?) using an old custodian head and a converted devotional bell. I can't find the thread but here's a pic of the finished jobbie http://media.photobucket.com/image/cust ... v31230.jpg |

More great ideas thanks, I'm quite pleased that I'm on the same wavelength for some of them. As promised some shots of my first conversion: I got a pile of spare Mk3 warlord parts from a friend who was using the legs for a dreadnought conversion, so used a spare turbolaser barrel to create the laserblaster. 2 cut down plasma guns for the plasma cannon. A combination of the volcano cannon arm and a metal 40k plasma cannon (I didn't have any spare plastic ones). The power fist is a combination of witch hunter tyrus' power fist with the fingers of the talon of horus. Hope folks approve. |

Agreed, the power fist combined with the dark grey and glowing blue colour schemes looks great. |

Mmm, very nice indeed! As others have already said, the powerfist is particularly good. And you're right, having shown us what some of the suggestions I listed look like, it does seem that there is consensus! |

Love the look of that MoK, consider the flail idea stolen. Just got lost reading the rest of your blog. Lovely stuff, makes me want to go put more detail on all my orks. Do the old plastic Warlord parts come up often on ebay/for trade? I really like that head. Where is that gun from? |

I'd suggest using a bits website (like http://bitsandkits.co.uk/ ) to plunder the current Sentinel kit for weapon bits and pieces. I used the missile launcher for my Reaver conversion, and I'd suggest the hunter-killer and plasma cannon parts as well. Your Warlord conversion is great - I love the sinister vibe it gives off! |
