Warcry Total Conversions: Middenheimers, Dwarves and Skavens!

    Games Workshop finally released a skirmish-based fantasy game, named Warcry. The game is still young (when this post is created), but interesting and pretty quick, brutal and fun to play.

    But a review of this game is not the purpose of this article, as here I want to focus on "total conversions" (often addressed wrongly as "proxy").

    The purpose of a total conversion is to allow players to use their favourite miniatures in place of others when there are no "official" available rules for those models: you will basically use the miniatures you prefer with the profiles of others. Nothing wrong on that, as long as you follow few rules:

    - Doing a total conversion can be easy and fun, but what is more difficult is to avoid gaining an advantage because of the models you use. You can't pretend a goblin to represent a giant, right? Some common sense is needed here, and you always should try to respect the general size of the original model.

    - A total conversion can be widely accepted among your friends, and even in many events, but you should always ask first if you can use it. If your opponent or the organization says no, you must avoid bringing a total conversion and use the original models or another army/band.

    That said, I'd like to share a bunch of Warcry fighter cards I modded to be able to play factions I really like but that aren't available in the game so far. All the data you'll find in these cards are official: nothing is created from scratch; they are just a reskin of the original cards (which is indicated under the miniature picture for reference).

    So, here we go:

     1) Middenheimer Mercenaries [Bonesplitterz "reskin"]


  


     2) Dwarves [Ironjawz "reskin"]




     3) Skaven [Cypher Lords "reskin"]
