What Are Conversion Kits for Warhammer 40K Miniatures

What are conversion kits for Warhammer 40K miniatures?

In the world of WH40K, you may find yourself asking: “How can I build an army that’s truly unique?” The answer: conversion kits.

At Dragoon Gaming, we understand the frustration of wanting something different for your models but not knowing where to start. This blog explores what conversion kits are and how they can help you turn your standard miniatures into one-of-a-kind creations. Let’s bring your vision to life.

We’re starting at the very beginning…what are conversion kits?

Conversion kits are customisable parts or “bits” that enable players to level up their existing Warhammer 40K miniatures. These kits can be as simple as a new weapon or helmet to more advanced upgrades like bespoke armour, intricate bases, or thematic accessories.

The result: models that reflect your individuality and personality so there’s no mistaking your army on the battlefield.

Why use conversion kits?

Your army is an extension of your creativity. But standard models often don’t reflect the aesthetic or narrative you envision for your army. Conversion kits give you the tools to realise your thematic vision and develop characters’ backstories.

And for tournament players, having a unique army can give you that all-important competitive edge. Not only will your models stand out on the table, but a distinctive army guarantees a memorable presence, making your gameplay experience even more immersive.

What are the different types of conversion kits?

At Dragoon Gaming, we provide a variety of high-quality custom parts designed for seamless integration with WH40K miniatures, including:

• Weapons and gear – new weapons can instantly upgrade the look and feel of a model. If you're aiming to give your army some custom firepower, weapon conversion kits are a great starting point.
• Armor and shields – customised armour and shields can give armies a more aggressive appearance or highlight a particular theme.
• Heads and helmets – looking to create a unique hero or unify the look of your army? A head swap is an easy way to personalise your models.
• Backpacks and accessories – from tech-infused backpacks to cloaks and capes, accessories add thoughtful detail to your miniatures.
• Bases and scenery – custom bases and scenery add depth and realism to your miniatures to fully immerse them in the WH40K universe.
