Seriously epic Raider. I love the colour scheme.

ever get one of those conversion ideas that seem to grow on their own when you start on them?
I saw a excellent conversion for the Baron on a windsurfer type skyboard and wanted one myself.
dug out the bits box and a couple of hours later here's what i ended up with...




now apart from painting him i just need to get some Hellions for him to lead...

Whatduyutink?

Erm, wow?
Very impressive stuff lonewolf, makes a nice change from the green goblin style skyboards, can't wait to see it painted!

Looks cool. He certainly looks like som kind of special character.

I have to admit that I am rather partial to windsurfing Barons but even so this is a great conversion lonewolf. That is a great looking board you have put together, it look suitably nasty and commanding, well done!

Whatduitink? I tink it is excellent freehnd on the raider, and an excellent Baron conversion. Promise to paint some symbol on his sail?

I promise .

@ gobsmakked ~ kudos on you excelent and inspirational conversion. Saw it and saved a choy of the piccy for reference but couldn't find the thread again our who done it

Dead-sexy Baron conversion Looking forward to seeing him with some paint!

Fantastic as ever lonewolf. The raider is gorgeous and the Baron conversion is perfect. Gives me some nice inspiration for my own Baron themed army I have planned.

That Baron looks awesome. Would you mind listing the parts used to make the skyboard?

all leftover parts from my bits box....

Spare sail from raider
2 reaver bike canopies glued end to end
piece of sprue glued in the slot under the reaver canopies
chains from raider
spare blades from raider
tormentor grenade launchers from ravager
bladevane from reaver
2 splinter rifles from reavers
skulls on spikes from raider
engines cut off each side of a vyper jetbike and glued together (was going to use a rever engine but didnt have a spare.
the handle on the sail the baron is holding onto is cut from the end the guide rail the sail of a raider sits on (spare on left over from the ravager kit)

think thats pretty much it
hope it helps

"thats pretty much it".... You kit bashing type converters crack me up. Nice model, I like the casual surfing feel of it despite all the spikey killy bits.

lol like all my conversions he's just made up of whatevers laying around at the time.
as you can see 99% is just the leftovers from a battleforce box and a ravager the only exception being the engines (from the vyper jetbike that were on a imperial guard jetbike conversion i never finished)

your warriors are awesome man! could you give us the recipe for the armour ?

I also like very much your conversions, your Baron is stuning!
