I've already worked on some Free Folk giants, see Converting and painting Free Folk giants. I have another pair of savage giants, one of which needs to become a spear thrower. Obviously I won't do the same conversion again. Instead I came up with the idea of a pine tree thrower, as previously the guys joked a lot about pine trees flying across the table. I also put some work into the other guy, just to make sure everybody understands that this is a melee giant.

Yarrick's return cinematic was hot stuff, and I immediately set to create a proxy/conversion. I had several ork bodies 3d printed to have a pile of them for the base, but the model turned out to be set on 32mm. Sigh. I dismembered just one body, and decided to have Ol' Bale Tits standing on it triumphantly.

The second batch of 3d printed Escher-Kasrkin also include officers: Cadian Castellans for the squads, as well as an Ursula Creed proxy. Besides the random colors, I got to experiment with transparent fabric.
A tournament prize from back in 2025. I didn't really want to paint these guys, but I had an idea for an experiment and I dove in.

Rounding out my Papal Guard/Krieger collection, here's the command squad in the dress uniform colors of the Noble Guard.
Along with the rest of the Papal Palatine Guard, a proxy squad of Krieg infantrymen now join the army.
I already like the minis so no major conversions. Also slapchop isn't good enough for them.

Not many conversions, mostly just scenic bases. Once I was free of the movement tray concept, I could glue in the giants and use the entire surface for basing elements.
After the Thenns and Followers of Bone, I had all the tools out to make unique Raiders as well.
More Napoleonic Kriegers, this time the Combat Engineers. Instead of drones, they will use WW2 Russian mine dogs.
Inspired by the artillery teams, I continued to use up my Napoleonic infantry as Kriegers.

The last block of Free Folk infantry that I recently purchased.

I got a box of these for relatively cheap. Still riding the high of the successful Thenn conversions, I decided on giving these guys the same treatment. Unlike the spearwives, make the miniatures unique through weapon swaps and other conversions.

Unsure if I'll do any more but here goes the process (with pictures stolen from the various ones I did).
My first foray into real conversion work on ASOIAF miniatures. I got a box of Umber Greataxes super cheap, with the intention of converting them. I also decided to create a scenic tray, with a raised middle.
Or at least I really hope they are the final batch, because I am really bored of painting them. But I wanted to max out the number of Tempestus Scions I can take, to 6 units of 10; and I also wanted command squad members with master vox.

Ride of the Valkyries starts playing in the background.
I liked the humvee, but it wasn't quite Taurox-like enough. So I experimented with having another model 3d-printed. However, the printer kept misfiring, and I actually received 4 damaged hulls instead of 1 whole one. I decided to take it as a challenge.

I found a cool proxy for a Taurox. Unfortunately, it needed some extra work.

Another squad of Ogryns and an Ogryn Bodyguard, equipped to double as Nork Deddog.
