Here are some shots of a converted Centurion tank to a Nurgle Heavy APC. I doing the siege of Vraks campaign with my local gaming group and I'm going with a more WW2 bent with my miniatures and tanks, what is your opinion of this conversion?

Very Spiky the sponsons on the side are very a nice 40K touch. |

Not nearly enough skullz. |

It still looks a bit like a centurion, dont take this as a negative criticism as I hope I can suggest a simple way to hide that. The main thing I notice is the track skirts which are very 'modern' looking, were you to alter these that would help disguise the kits origins a bit more. I'd suggest cutting the side skirt away from the front wheels a bit, extending it downwards in the middle almost to the tracks to give a bit of structure to support to your side sponsons and extending it to cover the wheels at the rear almost right up to the idler.
All of this could be added by plating over the existing work and shouldnt be too difficult.
Plastic card or even cardboard would do, paint should blend it all together as if it was always meant to be that way. |

Nice. I'm in the process of painting up a bunch of the Pig Iron Kolony Militia and am altering a bunch of M113 diecasts, and a couple of SU-100 Diecasts for them. Also bought a 1/35 scale KV-1 model kit to make a superheavy tank. I'll get some picture up when I'm done. |

You could also disguise the skirts by adding pustules and sores to the flat plates. Alternatively, add a trailing fringe of tentacles, maggots, ooze, etc. |

The Centurion is one of my all-time favorite tanks so of course I think it's cool. |

Very nice – as noted, a bit clean for one of Papa Nurgle's vehicles, but very nice |

Neat. I am converting several T-34s to Chimera-substitutes to use for my Red Blok as IG substitutes army. Rob |

The tank itself is brilliant, but the green colour scheme looks too realistic. I'd prefer a brighter scheme and more brass.
Or have the Nurgle green look like it's slowly overwhelming the original Imperial colours? |

Since tanks are ALREADY machines of death it seems a little redundant . . . :) On a more serious note, it's a great conversion; Again, I agree that some further corrosion and a couple of patches of pustulent living metal would not go amiss here and there but otherwise very nicely done. Maybe a couple radar/sensor domes would make it look good too. |

Zits on a tank. There's something so… wrong about that. |

Very cool, thanks for sharing the pics. |

A very nice conversion! I wouldn't change a thing. |
