I'm stuck for which miniature to use for my Empire Army. I don't particularly get on with the current Plastic Wizard box- but I would love some inspiration for a conversion.

I'm also willing to abandon the current plastics for an old, oop or alternative to GW. There must be plenty of generic 28mm wizards out there, right?

Inspire me!

Thanks for posting the pictures.

I love that last one! (They are all great by the way...)

I 've been scurrying around in some old boxes and have found out the wizard from advanced heroquest. I think that one is in the running order at the moment, until I put something else together.

My amber wizard - Head from white wolves, hands from free company and body from old handgunner + lot of green stuff.....

That's an awsome conversion! Thatnks for posting.

Keep em coming!

@soth - where is the staff top on the light wizard from? Don't recognise the piece but looking for something just like it for another project.

Cheers,

Dante

My bitz box

I think it came from a wizard from Harlequin.

Markus Von Brownpants · « **Reply #7 on:** August 23, 2009, 08:32:16 AM »

I think it's from one of the plastic chaos sprues. I have some of those skull things myself- I got them in a selection of bits from Ebay.

How did you make the legs for the mounted gold wizard?

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #9 on:** August 23, 2009, 11:34:45 AM »

That wiz is a conversion of an HE mage.

Sorry for the piss poor quality. Gotta get me a real camera one day.

These are the two I've been using for lv. 1 mages on foot in my Marienburg themed army. (Pics taken before I based them.)

and I just used this guy as a Lv. 4 mage mounted on a barded warhorse and wearing the Armour of Tarnus for the first time last week:

edit (pic didn't show up the first time):

Where did you get that last miniature? It's great. Is it old citadel? Or another manufacturer?

Obi · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:00:08 PM »

Nice one Mortikai! I love that guy. I'm currently converting a wizard to look like this guy:

Due to my edit, that would now be the second last miniature.

Yes, he's an old Marauder/Citadel figure, shown in an old catalog here:

nice minis everyone/

why is this threads width out of whack?

vesrian · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2009, 10:05:33 PM »

I love this thread. I've got my eye out for ideas to 'borrow' for my colleges of magic themed army.
Morticai, where is that model from? It's an odd mix of styles.

The page expands to fit the width of the images. So a large image will cause the page to get wider.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2009, 10:58:42 PM »

I've got the odd wizard model, so one of these must surely be an inspiration

This is probably several thousands points worth, a small army

The Order of Light

The Golden Order

The Jade College

The Grey Order

The Celestial College

The Amethyst Order

The Bright Order

The Amber Brotherhood

Sorry the photos are a bit blurry, but I did them in a rush

Quite the collection you've got there. I'm jealous.

orcyboy · « **Reply #19 on:** August 26, 2009, 04:30:51 AM »

I believe this guy was from the old Citadel LOTR range from the 80's. The 'Mouth of Sauron' I think. Now he's my Amethyst wizard or necromancer for for VC army.

generic old wizards:

Bladughadda · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2015, 12:11:44 PM »

Almost all of my wizards: I like painting them. But almost never field them.
Lets se if I made them obvious enough. Can you Guds them all?

DariusZero · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2015, 01:39:47 PM »

some cool conversions here

mottdon · « **Reply #22 on:** February 19, 2015, 04:44:01 PM »

Here is my mounted Wizard that I usually use.

And then there is this one that I made for InvaderZim as his "Surprise". I think I might try to make another one similar because I was so pleased with how he turned out.

Cal1989 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 19, 2015, 05:29:52 PM »

I've been working on these three - sorry for iphone pics

This is my converted Light Wizard, from the well known elf mage from IoB
