An Engineer Conversion?

As mentioned in one of my more recent posts, I was doing conversions to represent characters I played as in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. While most were those from the Forces of Destruction, I did play some characters from the Forces of Order. One character was based on my model of Kargrog Grimstone, but the rest I created on the spot. Sadly, I forgot most of their names, but the one I played the most of them was a Dwarf Engineer named Geegaw Hackwrench and yes, this character was indeed named after Gadget Hackwrench's father from Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers. This character was one I did want to convert, but wasn't sure how. Now it seems, I may get that opportunity.
Meet Master Engineer Grimm Burloksson. This new to release model for Dwarfs is looking just like the perfect candidate for the conversion. Obviously, the backpack will need to be redone and I'm still trying to remember if the game Engineers used wrenches as melee weapons (in which case, I believe their is one in the 40K miniature line), but apart from that, this model seems to be the best fit (bar a few more alterations). Might even go so far as to great a gun turret on a separate base just to add to the feel (he was grenade spec so it would best be a grenade turret). Liking this idea already.
