Well we finally have all the entrants for the conversion category, and what an excellent set of conversions they are, all would make fantastic centre pieces in anyones army.

Below you will find each entry, with the entrants name, what they have entered, follow by the pics.

Guidelines for Voting

Some of you may be unsure of what to look for, so here are some helpful guidelines:

Does the basic concept work? What the entrant might have thought may be a good idea may not be in reality.
Are the components are good choices? Did the entrant choose the right piece?
Did the entrant convert enough, perhaps he could have done a little more? Or perhaps he went too far and changed some things that we not really necessary?
Does the final model look like a complete model? Perhaps one of the most important things for conversions. You want the end result to look like it was originally cast that way. Do all the parts work together, or is it obvious that head is too big etc.
Finally check for little things like sculpted details, are they gaps where there shouldn't be etc

Following the above should help. Remember you are voting for thoughts and design as well as the actual implementation.

Best of luck to all the entrants.

Now this was not an easy pick...

I bow to the inventive minds of all of the entries. Lovely stuff, indeed!

**Disciple of Nagash** · 08-15-2010 11:49 PM

Please remember as per the GB rules - you cannot vote for yourself. Any such votes will be discounted

**The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy** · 08-16-2010 12:56 AM

Argh! That IS a hard choice!
Gonna have to give mine to Richie, if I had a second vote I'd totally go for Mioum's Ghouls - Fixed boobs = win anyday

Well thanks for the "second place" smile

Richie is not fair though, he's a (professional) scultor entering a brand new scult, not a conversion! You should make a category 'sculting' only for him cheesygrin

Also for curiosity, why can't we vote for us?

Last thing, vote for me, and if I win I'll share the reward with others if I get stuff I don't need Perv

**Bishop** · 08-16-2010 01:58 AM

Lots of good work there. Excellent job everyone!

WeeDawgNYC · 08-16-2010 03:21 AM

I personally dont think sculpting of an entire model is considered fair in a compitition like this. converting to me is searching for that perfect bit, sizeing it up, cutting away...glueing & finally after all that huffn & puffn, sore necks & sensitive fingertips you sit back & enjoy your frankenstein creation.

I think theree should be a cap of 15-20% MAX use of green stuff/puddy/clay of any kind to be considered a CONVERSION contest.

I voted for the Monstrosity, it looks like a giant tractor and I think it would have been a ton of fun to make.

ChaosJedi666 · 08-16-2010 05:55 AM

Well, Richie got my vote, but hats off to all who entered. Some great pieces in here.

**Kalandros** · 08-16-2010 08:11 AM

To me a conversion is making a model from other parts.. so I will not vote for entirely sculpted models!

I'm having a hard time deciding right now so I will come back to this and decide.

**Ophidicus** · 08-16-2010 10:34 AM

I'm tempted to vote for Rik the Builder purely as a show of solidarity against those 'not a conversion' naysayers, "sizeing it up, cutting away...glueing & finally after all that huffn & puffn, sore necks & sensitive fingertips" is exactly what it is. Solidarity, Brother. And to my knowledge, he's not a pro, just bloody good at what he does. He gets models cast by an independant company & I highly doubt he's that well rewarded for his talents. He's just been accepted for AoW through the abuse of his own fingers in doing what he loves. I shall hear none of this "he ain't making an effort cos it's not a conversion" nonsense. Nonsense, I say, nonsense.

I haven't decided who's getting my vote yet. I shall be objective in my judgement.

"sizeing it up, cutting away...glueing & finally after all that huffn & puffn, sore necks & sensitive fingertips"

This is an insanely hard choice! Every single entry is fantastic - massive kudos to all the entrants. I'm gonna have to think on this a bit more....

Skarsnik the Lord · 08-16-2010 02:36 PM

Soulcart got my vote, the idea is great and original and the conversion work is great. I mean every work here is great but my personal favourite is the ghost cart, very good work. smile

Mr Saturday · 08-16-2010 03:14 PM

Gah. This is a hard one...

TheNosferatu · 08-16-2010 05:58 PM

Ritchie's got my vote, simply because I think it's the best model. Bo%£cks to all this rubbish about it not being a conversion - it's in the competition plain and simple. If you don't like the competition, don't vote.

Skaramak von Carstein · 08-16-2010 08:20 PM

Another batch of cracking entries - well one to all

**Disciple of Nagash** · 08-16-2010 08:28 PM

My vote went to the Norscan Vampire. The idea is a good one, but it was the implementation that got it for me. The components were well chosen and put together really well, with the GS adding some really nice touches.

But it was really hard to choose again.........

Sanai · 08-17-2010 01:13 PM

The Norscan would have been my choice if it werent for Richie's master scultping.

miniPhil · 08-17-2010 03:33 PM

My vote is for Forge's Black Coach. Too many times I've looked down at my own Coach and thought it looked far too dainty only for it to die soon after. If you had that coach on the field you'd feel unstopable.

Originman · 08-19-2010 05:16 AM

Wow. Someone actually voted for me. I sure wouldn't. These are some quality conversions, folks. Kudos.
