Fritz’s Tabletop: 40K Konversion Korner
Painting, playing, collecting, tactics, and narrative are all part of 40k. What about converting some of the models in your collection?

My 40K gaming buddy ROB has an amazing Dark Mechanicus army which is a regular team up with my Berserkers of Skallathrax Chaos Space Marine army. I deliver him the prisoners and slaves of battle for his experiments, and in return he makes sure my warband is up to date on the latest Dark Mechanicus machines and models.

What about converting vehicles and terrain to fit the theme of your army?
Or even more common models that we see all the time, making them uncommon?
