InquisitorHayn Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 As always, excellent work. I've followed your work on scouts (both written and modelled) for some time and it even inspired me to rely more heavily on them in my own army lists. I like the dual-wielder. You can never have too many explosive .75 calibre rounds flying into faces. However, I am mildly curious about the last pic. Is he...hugging the bolter? I am well aware of the love that soldiers develop for their arms, but it would seem that this poor gentleman is in dire need of a conjugal visit. ;) Cheers. I look forward to your future projects.

Solid Zaku Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I mean no offense, but these kind of look like frat boys, what with the Sarge asking for a bro-fist and the third guy after him waiting for a chest-bump. Nice use of the baldy heads, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2551430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 They look pretty good. How have you made them? Just standard marine torsos on scout legs? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2551586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 They look pretty good. How have you made them? Just standard marine torsos on scout legs? pretty much, take alot of cutting down and dry fitting though.. then used marine sergeant heads.. arms and legs are scouts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2551593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vorkung Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Most scouts graduate into space marines in a few years. I guess these guys just took a bit longer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2551647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Most scouts graduate into space marines in a few years. I guess these guys just took a bit longer. my idea was to show scouts ina different light, the current models mae them look like scared children.. truth is before an initiate is chosen he is a hero in his own right, only the best of the best are taken and then made better.. even as a scout these guys would be completely hardcore and i think thats lost on a lot of people.. i think my subtle changes make them look a little harder Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2551671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Aside from the fact that you put a powerfist on a scout (it was designed for Terminators, and only just works with PA, with scout armour it simply wouldn't work) I really do like these models, and they were very well done.

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I have done something similar many many years ago. And I had forgotten till I saw your work. I never liked the Plastic Scouts Nice figures, and the old Metal ones were scarcely much better. But yours are very very nice. Really well painted and brilliantly posed. :tu: :tu: :tu: I will be using this technique again for my BA. :) Aside from the fact that you put a powerfist on a scout (it was designed for Terminators, and only just works with PA, with scout armour it simply wouldn't work) I really do like these models, and they were very well done. Imperial Guard Officers and Commissar's have use of Power Fists. One of my friends favourite figures was the old 2nd Ed (?) Catachan Captain with Power Fist and Bolter. And you know what the Catachan armour is like.. CTK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2554184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah someone with too much logic :) i put it on par with the imperial guard powerfists. Yeah, but Imperial Guard powerfists are different from SM powerfists. If you really want to model a powerfist onto a scout, you should probably borrow a spare powerfist from your buddy's IG, and if you don't have any buddies who play IG, then you should sculpt it... It just throws me off when the weapon is almost bigger than the weilder is.

calgar101 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Look very very good, they do look hardcore whilst retaining the newbie look. Also regarding the power fist well they are supposed to be bigger than a normal fist any ways to house the bits that make them a power fist so, I personally do not think it looks silly at all.

Meatman Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 dijital_llama, you could give them "beakie" helmets, as they are a little smaller and don't look out of place on scout bodies, or paint camo on their faces rather then skin colour... Just a thought. Looking good GC08, nice highlighting and some real badass posings there :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2557150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I tired the beakie method and wasnt impressed, the BT style 'crusader?' helmets are small enough to work.. i know aq fella who uses them on his neophytes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214311-mk2-scouts/#findComment-2557363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo1701 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Very nice concept and paint job. Regarding the PF scale issue, I found for scouts a great solution is to grab some 2nd edition fists. They are smaller than the current ones and still look as if they should be on a marine rather than an IG. In fact, the shoulder piece (designed to fit under 2nd ed pads) is similar size to scout shoulder armour too. Just a thought.
