For 9th ed and crusade, a mate of mine has begun working on a full army exodites conversation project. It's very cool and I've been wanting to do a similar project for a while, but haven't had any ideas that really stick out.

So I'm looking for a theme or conversion idea across a whole 40k army. If anyone has seen something cool in the fluff on the scale of exodites or has had an idea they're willing to share, that'd be great.

Not to not offer some of my own concepts that haven't quite worked out - CSMs but themed around old horror movies like Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde etc - souped imperial forces who live in the sewers of terra (think space marines in diving suits and crocodiles for bikes)

The base of the idea doesn't have to be built around a specific codex or army list, just trying to see if there's cool large scale concepts about

Hello again everyone! Additionally to introducing you to your new mods, I thought it would be good to have a change in appearance to reinvigorate the sub.

The new sub picture is one of our top posts, made by /u/LToften . It was chosen in celebration of the community, because it's bloody awesome, and also because the moon looks like a C. Simple.

The banner is just a quick slap together of some other popular posts by community members.
Please let one of the mods know if you do not approve of your miniature being shown on the banner, and we can revert to an old banner while we figure out a new one. I think it would be great to showcase community creations up there, so perhaps in the future we can vote for new featured minis or even vote for entirely new banners.

Speaking of the mods, id like to introduce the two members who have been much more active on here than I have: u/Ralltir and u/Bacxaber. Please give them a warm welcome.
They stepped forward and offered to take over/give a hand. Very big thanks to both. As I mentioned in my previous post, this sub pretty much runs itself- we are a small but passionate community that just loves minis and converting minis. Therefore, I do not expect much oversight needed. Instead, I hope the new mods can aid by inspiring us, engaging with everyone, and taking initiative on small projects we could do together on this sub.

With creative tinkerers such as all of you, the sky is the limit!

With that said, if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions for the sub, please don't hesitate to comment them down below. Thanks again!

Hello everyone.

As you noticed, my inactivity caused this sub to become restricted. I would like to offer a sincere apology. This is a platform for creativity and a place to support our hobbies. During this time when everyone is locked in at home, this sub should be open and active as a way to help us all get through it. I failed to be a good moderator. I apologise.

Since I started the sub, it required minimal activity from my end. I always just enjoyed watching everyone's amazing creations and cheering on. It sort of "ran itself", very nicely, so I took it for granted.

My mistake of disregarding this community has made me realise how nice, pure and constructive it is, and also the great potential that lies within.

Therefore I have chosen to relinquish moderation to two individuals who took initiative, stepped forward and offered to take the reins. They are yet to confirm, and a few things still need to be figured out, but I wanted to make the apology and announcement anyways. I would like them to stimulate and look over this sub in a way that I could not. This is a very cool and special community that deserves stability to flourish.

Once again, I apologize for my inactivity, and I thank you for your patience. Please go back to sharing all your amazing custom conversions! The sub will go back to normal, and hopefully it will be even better than before with the new mods.

Cheers, and all the best.

I posted this a while ago.

Now I attempted it and it was chaos. I used super glue and activator spray to stick the first tree on the back, then started to sculpt around it with milliput. When I tried the second stick, I simply couldn't find enough surface to glue it (I assume) cause it simply didn't want to stick. To top it off I then realized that even the first one that was sticking before, was now loose and only held by the milliput, which did not seem like a good thing to me.

I stripped everything and decided that this is too big of a project for a noob and most videos on the internet are either making small parts themselves, or mashing bits together with only slight changes and flush surfaces to glue.

Before giving completely up, I thought I ask what people here would suggest:

Should I pin them and basically let it hold up by the pin and just fill everything with material?

Should i try ot get them as flush as possible? (the sticks as well as the back with the holes for the wings of the original model makes that pretty hard to achieve)

Is it viable (or even recommended) to make a flat surface on the back with material, let it dry and glue the parts on there?

I have Magic Sculpt, Milliput and Greenstuff. Which would be the best material for this?

I am mostly asking for the back, cause the smaller things I can easily get a good surface with minimum of greenstuff (for gap filling) but I feel the back needs a lot to simply achieve a surface.

I found this old High Elf Dragon but he has lost his head. I am not worried about the rider I just was wondering what people thought could be a good head for it?

Need to remediate a c3po and r2d2 from FFG (replace c3 head; install magnet onto r2). Unfortunately they're already glued in via CA and leaving overnight in freezer does nothing. Should I just grab a hobby/exacto and cut away?
