What is converting?
Converting a model can mean anything from just re-positioning a limb or adding a few extra details to extensive remodeling. The most satisfying aspect of converting is that your model becomes unique, rather than just one of many identical ones. Converting can also allow you to produce convincing models to represent army list entries, such as Storm Guardians, that Games Workshop does not yet make. Individual Q&A?s about converting some of the more common of these models follow. There are a wide variety of techniques involved in converting. Plastic figures are the easiest to convert, both because there is a wide range of parts and because they are simpler to cut and assemble. Converting plastic vehicles usually requires at least a small collection of spare parts (usually referred to as ‘bits’), and access to plastic card (see below). Metal models are perhaps more difficult to work with, because the pewter used by GW is less easily re-shaped, and larger parts need to be pinned (see above)
