As promised, the Great Workbench Clearance of 2008 begins.
I'm starting with Space Marines, since that's what I've got most under way.
* Raven Knight Commander on foot
What is made of: Unusually for me, all stock pieces with only two modifications:
Khorne Berserker running legs (right knee reposed, so he looks more like he's marching rather than running)
Company Champion shoulder pads from the Command Squad box
Commander sword, read torso and backpack (upper half of it)
Bolt Pistol right arm from any plastic Marine kit, really.
MK IV torso and one of the "knightly" helmets from Black Templar sprue
Lower portion of backpack from a 2nd Edition plastic Marine backpack
General concept: Listen to House of Doom by Manowar for a bit. Then apply that image to Space Marines and you get a battle-hungry Space Marine marching over mountains of corpses (not included on the model). Apply that to a Space Marine Commander and it's precisely what this one is.
Status: One last touch of Greenstuff in the right knee joint and he's ready for painting.
ETA: Will be finished today, painted next week.
* Spirits of Malal
What is made of: mixture of random Chaos and Loyalist Marine bits
General Concept: posted earlier in this topic or its previous incarnation
Status: Cancelled. I'll finish the first one, and go back to this project when I'm done with all the other crap clogging the workspace.
* Ion Dragons Space Marines (1 Bolter Marine, 1 Sergeant)
What is made of: Marine bits and some minor conversions.
General Concept: Another custom Chapter that turned up as a result of browsing Deviantart during a severe caffeine overdose. I'm converting two marines to try the color scheme on.
Status: Leg repose almost complete. Heads and torsos will be stock, arms for the Sgt stock as well. Arms for the Tac Marine are in converting right now.
ETA: Somwhere this month.
* Raven Knight Biker #2
What is made of: Marine bits, Chaos Bits, Bretonnian head, Greenstuff, wire.
General Concept: Marine turning his bike into a slide while aiming a meltagun at the opponent.
Status: The model is actually coming together at last. The old attempt at the base had to be scrapped (I need to figure how to model dirt and stones spraying from under the front wheel, otherwise the sense of movement won't be there)
ETA: This year.
* Ion Dragons Techmarine
What is made of: Nothing yet!
General Concept: Kind of Techmarine equivalent of my work on Chaplain Raziel. That is, use minimum stock bits and add green stuff to everything.
Status: on pause. Will come back to it later.
* Servo Skulls
What is made of: Skulls and random bits
Status: Pile of skulls and bits in a bag, mostly. One skull halfway done.
Excluding some random bits (heads and backpacks mostly) I'm converting just for the sake of it, that's it for the Space Marine stuff unless I dig up some unfinished project I all but forgot about.
Wraithlord
What is made of: Old metal Wraithlord with the original Shuriken Catapult/Flamer underslung weapons replaced.
Status: I'm nearly done. Just a little filing of the GS here and there for the final shape, pinning the arms to the torso and it's done.
Siamese:
What is made of: Siamese miniature from Heroclix Indie line
General concept: No converting. Just cleaning the thing, filling up any gaps and repainting.
Status: Halfway done.
Oh yes, in all that chaos I managed to lost track of one of the Hasslefree female head bits. At least I made a Greenstuff mould of it before that happened, and I'm sure that the actual part will turn up when the cleaning progresses.

But overall I'm very, very pleased with DRM and E/W for that matter ! 
One Reaver down, one to go, with some Warhounds waiting their turn. I also stripped a bunch of Rapiers and Thudd Guns.
