Alternative Empire Units
January 4, 2008
I am currently building a nice little Empire Army, based loosely in the south of the Empire and in the Border Princes.A sort of roaming, for-hire force, sometime working for the various elector counts of Wissenland, Averland, Stirland, even into Reikland, or the halflings of the Moot, sometimes wandering off over the Black Mountains to extend the glorious realm and of course earn a bit of dosh. The models are painted red and white, so they could even wander off up to Talabheim… (but the reason is that I really wanted to paint gored and puffed clothing with those colours, and it fitted my idea for my knights - more later…).
Turn a Landspeeder into a Hummer
January 4, 2008
This tutorial will show you how to turn a Landspeeder into a Hummer. A good tutorial by Andrea with pictures.
Defiler
January 2, 2008
Here you can see the parts used, and the plastic tubing I used to create this piece. I also used a small plastic lid from a container later in the process of building this conversion.
Slaanesh Dreadnought
January 2, 2008
This conversion is rather simple but requires a bit of practice with sculpting. Either way you could easily swap the new Slaanesh lord’s mount body for the pieces I sculpt in this article. Here is where I began, two pieces of wire bent into position and the assembled dreadnought sarcophagus without one arm.
Nurgle Defiler

Here are the parts you need to make a defiler. I did not put the dreadnought parts in this photo because they were a last minute decision. I felt the front of the model would be too thin without them. I used one basilisk sprue, six ork dreadnought legs, two dreadnought arms, and parts of an old chaos rhino.
Building a Goblin shaman
December 30, 2007
Once upon a time, Games Workshop provided a wonderful, diverse range of miniatures for the various armies of its games. There were often dozens of variations for each troop type, and many different character models to choose from.
Plague Terminators
December 30, 2007
1) This is where you will start for this conversion. I have all the parts laid out for you, and nothing else will be used other than putty and wire. As you can see there is little extra needed and the plastic skeletons are a cheap way to convert a model.
Creation of a Tau Catfish
December 30, 2007
White Dwarf #271 saw the release of the Tau update to the Vehicle Design Rules. Finally armed with our weapon point costs, Shas’os could finally start breathing life into the mad scientist ideas that had been plaguing their minds. Given the anime style of the Tau, there was no shortage of inspiration, nor of model kits to transform into Tau machineries of destruction!
Bulding an Orc Shaman from scratch
December 30, 2007
As with the Night Goblin shaman, there is only one model available. And just as with the Night Goblin shaman, this just isn’t good enough. So, once again it’s time to go converting…
Making a goblin shaman
December 30, 2007
A follow-up to the article on scratch-building a Night Goblin shaman.
The day after making my NG shaman, I thought about how I would make a plain Goblin shaman. There are no models available for the character, and haven’t been since 3rd edition (and I’m assuming that models existed then). So, a free hand with regard to how they should look. I decided that mine would resemble a brightly coloured jester, like the model from a Warhammer Quest expansion, which I have heard of being used as a Goblin shaman. Why a jester? Well, the outfit looks different, and suits the Goblin mentality, which is similar to that of a magpie - bright and colourful is GOOD! Plus, shamans are dangerous things for greenskins - get too close at the wrong time and your head will pop. So naturally they will be marked out with distinctive clothing. Thus the bright red and yellow jesterish outfit.
