How to convert - Bloodaxe Warboss by Mezgike

[@wbrando22]

As someone who's just starting to get into minipainting and crafting these videos are incredible and make me super amped to continue on my journey in the hobby. Keep it up and thank you!!!!

[@Stylinski]

Dude, your glowing style paintings first, followed by amazing conversions, and now doing your own holograms of the sice of a rice corn... Unbelievable, you are very talented and your videos are great in every aspect. Hope games workshop pays you money for that one day. Keep up that great videos and ideas. Props to you

[@andrewpryor8526]

Wow, my mind was blown at the level of expertise. I wanted to learn how to fill holes and clean up the mini... this was so much more. A very good watch.

[@earltheartist3697]

Another in depth conversion? Hell yeah. Giving a ork more character than a primaris lieutenant I see

[@Rishkar-Peema-Pants]

Every grot has more character

[@Rishkar-Peema-Pants]

Than a primaris lieutenant

[@dreadedpixel9022]

That's abit mean to say, I mean it's TRUE but it doesn't make it any less mean

Ok, I'm officially FASCINATED and blown away by the hologram... the whole process!

I was drawn into your videos by the calm and soothing nature of your voice and the calming activity of painting. Watching you sculpt is incredible. Keep up the great work.

Thanks my friend. I’m working on some more chilled out content right now, so keep an eye out!

Hi mate, I do remember you! Awesome to hear that you got your first miniatures! Let me know if you ever need any help. You can send me a message through instagram.

Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@furyofgungnir]

I'm late to the party, but this exact miniature is what I would love to convert into a world of warcraft tier 13 heroic warrior armor model. If anything the helmet to add to the base model would look amazing. I need to watch more customizing videos like these to get an idea of how to accomplish this.

[@davedogge2280]

Very important channel. Why ? because GW themselves don't do any / many Blood Axe painting guides or conversion guides. I'm getting into Blood Bowl and not only do they not sell some of their star players, for some in their latest edition they've never even had a miniature released for them. Conversion skills are so important.

[@Mezgike]

Dave Dogge conversions are important as well, because you make your own unique miniature that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

[@Kasyx]

Wow, just wow. Amazing work!

[@Mezgike]

Thanks I’m working on new content. It’s a bit slow because of some tough family times right now

[@Gebunator]

I was thinking "Why you want his armor to be smooth looking, instead of big, loud and clanky like proper ork's?" Then it hit me. Blood Axes. They ain't always like traditional "propa orky". Warboss with a mic and in armor that looks like it's not from dented, battered and looted. Yep, definitely brewing some Taktiks there! Fun and entertaining video to watch too. I just recently got into Warhammer 40k, went with orks, only to later on realise that there aren't proper updated warboss models (excluding Ghazkull) and the megaboss seems to be popular conversion guide. Might as well try and make my own 40k spin on the big orruk sooner or later. Conversion and kitbashes is what ork players oughta be doing anyways, right?
