Pictures will be coming soon as well as progress.

I wasn't going to enter the contest, full knowing I couldn't beat a DC truescaled marine, but after looking through it and some others I've decided that not entering at all is a surefire way to lose. Seeing some of these entries I've noticed that they aren't so much conversions, but completely new modeling projects using plastic pieces as a skeleton for it.

I'll be making a Thousand Sons Terminator, it will use all plastic/metal parts. Greenstuff will only be used in places where even a two year old could get it right. I think this will appeal to people as unlike many other entries, it won't be a monumental work of art requiring a tube of Greenstuff and 30 hours of your life. It will instead be a practical conversion that anyone could do in less then 5 hours of work.

The best conversions are the simplest.

Forgot to mention, The pieces used will be:

Grey Knights Terminator
Thousand Sons head
meltagun muzzle
various plastic bits and pieces to make it look a little more chaotic
