Conversion Corner- Plastic Mephiston!!!

Posted by Man Boy Genius Sunday, January 22, 2012
Check out this awesome all plastic conversion for everyone's favorite Lord of Death, Mephiston.

Zail posted this finished conversion up recently over on his Warhammer Blog, and it rocks.

All the normal Mephiston elements are there, and head even reminds me of a young Sgt. Centurious from the Legion of the Damned.

Lets take a closer look....


Bits List


From the picture this looks to be based off of a set of Death Company legs, a Sanguinary Guard Wings glued to a Death Company Backpack, and perhaps either the old pewter Mephiston torso, or maybe a Finecast Asteroth torso.

The accents appear to be normal Death Company pads from the plastic box set, a cape from the Chaos Marauders?, and an Iron Halo. Mephiston is armed with a Space Marine Commander power sword, and a plasma pistol from the Death Company box set as well.

The Conversion


Overall I really like this conversion, the jet black armor really sets the tone for the figure and the white of the wings (with black undertones) sets it all off. The reds are perfect and don't seem to take anything away from the scheme as a whole.

I like the blue on the plasma pistol, but am thinking that if there was some blue over on the sword as well, it would work better color wise. Then all of the colors would be spread out equally (or symmetrically) across the whole model.

Finishing up the conversion with a base full of skulls is definitively a nice touch as well.

Really really solid work. Kudos Zail you earned it.  Check out the three sixty below.

Spikey Bits Blog

Spikey Bits is a blog about the hobby of Warhammer 40k and Fantasy Battles, both tabletop wargames. I try to cover all of the aspects of that hobby from converting and painting models to actually playing the game.

By nature I am a competitive tournament player, but my true passion is converting and painting. I will spend more time making a figure than actually playing with it, lol.

The aim of this blog it to keep me motivated to produce new work, and to share my experiences along the way. I very much value all feedback about my work, and will answer any questions about it.

Feel free to send me an email or post a comment about anything on here.

However please no cursing, first offenses will be edited, second offense results in a ban. You can disagree with me of course, just don't curse!

Thanks for reading, and happy gaming. -MBG
