See, as much as I like Khador jacks' aesthetics the Freebooter is actually right up there as one of my favourite looking jacks - probably second only to the Spriggan. In fact I built my Merc multijack on a Freebooter: Someday I'll paint him... someday... sigh... Sorry to double post, but I'm kind of in love this this kit and the lighting. Awesome work.

Xintas I would love to see all of your conversions as well! I'm currently converting a nomad out of some of they Cyganr heavies too (mostly because of the increased scale/bulk) but am also in the process of making one out of a Kodiak I'm very interested in your Gallant as well

I am loving those freebooter/multi-jacks. Agreed, the lightning is top notch. Part of the reason I got into mercs was to kitbash the jacks. I made full use of my heavy kit by ordering a Crusader and Ironclad chassis/legs to finish my Rover and second Nomad (who due to accidents and not realising the cheaper Grindjack body was a different plastic is unusable now). I loved putting merc graffiti over the Menofixes. Sorry for rambling off topic, I just love kitbashes!

Alright, I'll start this mess off. Like I said, terrible painter and only a so-so modeler, but I'm working on it. This is my set of freebooters and my buccaneers.

These are my Cygnar and Khador Rovers and my Cygnar and Khador Mules (nicknamed affectionately my Moscow Mule)

These are my Menoth convert Rocinante and Gallant with a similarly bad Llaelese paint job to my Cygnar convert Nomads.

Lastly my trio of Cygnar talons (the cord is meant to show that the kinetic energy from the shield is powering the lance) and my trio of more aggressive Vanguards.

Great conversions, though I'm feeling very... confused by a Gallant with both Morrowan and Menite iconography...

Alright, here's the Crusader/Rover. I painted him red for obvious reasons (at the demand of one of the guys at my FLGS)

And then here's the whole ragtag gang together that lacks kitbash for the most part. I definitely want to do more of it in the future though. Although this isn't the most recent picture of the Nomad and Mangler, they've since been heavily touched up. Attachments:

I like the blasphemous nature of both bits being on one jack. I've had a few people walk over while I was playing, stare at it for like 3 minutes, then decide if they want to explain why it's wrong or just frustratedly walk away. Also, Sarcastastic, awesome conversions and much better paintjobs than mine!
