Hello! I'm new here. I'm trying to scrounge what Epic bits and bobs (lots of bits and bobs.. a veritable cornucopia, in fact) into something organised.

I got some Warhound scouts off eBay but they were busted up almost beyond repair. I had to straighten the legs back out but the heads were useless so I carved them off. I decided to modify them by making the weapons underslung, more like their larger Reaver Titan cousins. I used transparent plastic rod, but I still need to add some details with greenstuff. The weapons are magnetised, too, so I can swap them around.

I made some arms for a gargant using plastic bits I had lying around, mostly gun parts and styrene rods. The claws are from some resin accessory kit, I have a bunch more of them. The huge gatling gun is from something else. It came as-is, with no guns or other parts. I have another one which came with all the guns, so it was a bit of a facepalm moment, but oh well.

Finally, here's my fave, what I refer to as the "frog head" gargant. I did very little converting on this one, just scratched together a new gun arm and belly cannon and replaced the turret with a plastic one from the Ork plastic tank kit.

NIce use of bits from a variety of ranges. I particularly like the use of CoD bits for the belly gun on the last gargant.

I find those Warhounds downright neat. Well done.

Very funky conversions which all look great, only criticsm I can come up with is that the Warhound's shoulders are a little wide, which is very minor.

Ekwatt forge pattern warhound titans look neat, i recommend throwing some shoulder pads over the weapon arm's. Maybe something bulky with some symbols on them.

Very nice conversions, i look forward to seeing more.
