Space Hulk Conversions

Postby Ben » Sat Sep 19, 2009 9:01 pm

Has anyone taken a hobby knife to the SH minis?

I really just don't like Blood Angels. I have thought about painting them up like Soul Drinkers but if I make them Black Templars they would fit my 40K Army (presuming I play again in the future).

I have some serious gaps with a few of them so I need to Green Stuff anyway.

Just curious what everyone else has done.

the only thing I have seen ppl do is attached them to 40k bases!

I would file the symbols etc down (if you feel you have the skill) and painted them into your current army, dont have to be BA in SH. I would but i have a large BA army :)

There are some changes I want to make anyway. For instance there is some snap fit issues where they have strange bits connecting them for mold stability.

It is the same way that I changed some of the AoBR guys.

There are lots of little blood drops and other BA iconography all over them - it would be a lot of work IMO to make them "generic". Might be easier to simply swap them with a BA player for normal/AoBR Termies and scratchbuild SH-friendly bases for them...

If you manage to pull it off though, please post pics! :)

I was thinking of painting the blood drips to look like jewels when on the chest. Maybe even use the lighting techniques to make it look like it glows so it will be like a power cell or something.

The ones on the shoulders are the easiest to fix.
