Converting - Which teams to convert?

Post subject: Which teams to convert?

After seeing Zinak and Bampf's Lizzie conversions in the painting forum, I was wondering...which race do you guys/gals feel can be converted from a WFB army and look better than the currently offered BB team? I think the Lizzies are a no-brainer (yes, I have no brain because it didn't dawn on me until after I ordered the Lizzie BB team!), which others?

Chaos is another no brainer but works well. Using some d.eldar female characters and 2 champions of slaanesh (one with the head of lord of slaanesh and a box of plastic beastmen, you can make a team pretty easily.

I did it last year and the models are intimidating being slightly taller. As is right for a mighty god of perversity such as slaanesh.

I'm not a big fan of the Khemri team, so the GW's Plastic Skeletons are the way I will probably go. Easier to model, easy to paint, and more flexability for the poses.

Plastic skellies are definitely the way to go. I have a 2e Skeleton team made from the old plastics that I recently updated to Khemri by making some mummies. I carved down 2e plastic humans to make the mummies so they have bandages and kit.

I'd like to see that if you have any pictures.

Another good set of plastics is the warhammer zombies.

Here's some pics of the chaos ones I've done. Sorry for the quality of the pics. + I'm partly putting them up to see if I can put images in a post, so if this feels like I'm hi-jacking this thread in any way I'm sorry. Confused

Ok if this hasn't worked, I now look like an idiot!

In a couple of weeks I should have some time to fiddle with the camera and get some shots to put up. Busy with final papers this week and ArisiaBowl the following weekend.

Wow

That is one of the nicest looking teams I've seen. Any more pictures? Can you tell us what figures you used?

Thanks

I'll try to take some and put them on a new thread for you over the weekend. I'll annotate them with the models they came from too.

Ive seen a nice norse team converted out of chaos marauders which didnt look too bad.
Ive also seen someone else do orcs out of a mix of 40k and fantasy bits and it works really well. Rolling Eyes
