WarZone 1st Edition Cybertronic Chasseur Hero with LMG: TG9823PB (Neglected Model May ’18)

Warzone 1st Edition Cybertronic Chasseur Hero with LMG Conversion

This one is the last of the WarZone models I’ll be doing for the time being. Challenges like Neglected Model months are good motivation for me to poke around in the depths of old cases to see what can be dug out and revived with a lesser or greater amount of work. As this month winds down, I’ve gotten to the last of the WarZone models I picked out of the case, and I’ll save my next delve there for the next Neglected Model month. Plenty of other stuff on the table I want to clear out that’s been there for ages, anyway! As you can see, he’s a member of the nWo Wolfpac, and is specifically named Nash, after Big Kev.

Warzone 1st Edition Cybertronic Chasseur Hero with LMG Conversion

This figure is a conversion of the original WarZone 1e Cybertronic Hero model (yeah, they only had one!) Originally armed with a shotgun, he’s had a bullpup LMG grafted and built around where the shotgun used to be, and his left arm was taken from a Chasseur Sergeant model, in order to completely change the “shape” of the model. Head is chopped off a metal 40k Techmarine, and the backpack is made up of some 1:35 scale military parts. Wires are just copper wire taken from that little handful of a bundle that I “found” in high school metalwork all those years ago… which I still have today whenever I need bendy wire that’s not guitar wire (I’d use guitar wire on him these days, but …1990’s conversion!

Here’s the original base model.

Again, this model is still available from Prince August. Well, the base model is, anyway. You can see how much chopping has been involved – this is how we used to do conversions in the old days before plastic kits became the norm. With metal and a saw. And yes, he’s very “flat” like a real mid-1990’s figure, though that’s largely due to the pose of the base figure and limited parts to draw from that fit Cybertronic in the rather chunky WarZone style if I didn’t want him to look like a Space Marine.

The Neglected May ’18 WarZone contingent.

And finally alongside the other Neglected WarZone models I’ve finished over this (last) month: 1st Edition Dark Legion Technomancer, Agent Nick Michaels, Cybertronic Chasseur Hero with LMG Conversion, 1.5 Cybertronic Chasseur, Atilla III Cuirassier with HMG Conversion, Capitol Sea Lion Hero and Imperial Blood Berets HMG Specialist. Not exactly a cohesive force or anything, but bloody nice to have all of these figures finally completed.
