Eberious Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 After a while of modelling "Legal" playable squads I got a bit bored and went back to what I enjoy most, converted over the top(a little) models that in a game I don't think anyone would agree to play them. So I had some fun and made this guy out of spare parts. After mulling it over for the past few months about equiping Termies with Jump-packs I could never see it as the standard JP are way to small, however doubling its size makes it more "meaty looking" to be able to carry a Terminator. So will probably do a full squad to go along side him consisting of L-claws and T-hammers. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01877.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01874.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01875.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01876.jpg C&C please Brothers and sisters. Still a WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother Hastatus Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nice! It really makes the termie come to life. I like the look of the doube Jump pack and you've made the join between the two of them really well. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the squad!

atin Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 looks nice. . the first pic gives the idea of a underpowerd jumppack.. but from the rear it looks great.. <_< a really sollid look.. and a termie who isn't as static as the rest.. great work.. cheers atin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 This'd make a great explaination for deep striking for a chapter that doesn't use teleporters. Very nice work! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Whoah! amazing. i have to steal this idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Excellent Idea! Perhaps if you could get ahold of some of the old "Fan" type JP it would look a bit beefier <sp>! Now that everything can be WYSIWYG, I could see them really "taking off"! :) Cheers and Happy Hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 thats brilliant! are you having it as a terie that can have a retinue of assault men? or are you going to do a squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aries Balian Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Holy crap i love the idea :D its amazing, love the idea.... great flying huge metal bulk of death. and like wipelash i wanna hear if your gonna make this into a squad or ic or what?

larundel Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 this is awsome...i may steal this idea for somedeep striking terminator i have been planning to get for my marines....can wait to ee a whole squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Wow...cheers guys, I didnt think anyone would like it this much. @Grand Master Raziel Secundus, I never thought of wysiwyg battles,,oooohh thats going to be sweet. @wiplash & Brother Aries Balian, yeah gonna make it into a squad, but have them all looking like VET's, and make some custom weapons all CC ones. I'm thinking of a squad of 5 plus the IC. Currently working on the 2nd model. so I thought at the same time I would make a "how to do it pic guide". Remove bottom section from JP one, and stick top section on. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01878.jpg From JP two, remove lower and upper exhaust sections, and stick together. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01879.jpg So you have somthing like this. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01880.jpg Stick lower JP to upper JP. Turning lower JP upside down. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01881.jpg Take the jet intakes from left overs and blend in to top of JP. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01883.jpg Take the bottom part left over from the 1st pic, and stick at the bottom. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01882.jpg And green stuff any details you like. And finished Terminator. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01884.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01885.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01886.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That way if anyone says you can't have jump packs on termies you can just say that's how they drop into battle. :P Nice tutorial as well. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beornling 3.1415 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 What the Raven Guard now have a Deathwing Squad? :lol: tell me they did this without stealing from the Xenos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialTemplari Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hey Eberious you have started a trend here I am definitely going to make a section of these guys, brilliant ides Termies with the Eberious jump packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beornling 3.1415 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 worse, I can actually now picture a ravenguard Deathwing squad, with landspeeder parts being kitbashed to the two dreadnaughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberious Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Again thanks for the comments, I truly wasnt expecting it to "take off" as Grand master R says(pun intended). @wiplash, yup thats one dead heretic crushed under there, as well as a skeletol hand and skull, and some alien mushrooms the kind that make you feel all funny. :D @ImperialTemplari, the "Eberious jump pack" you say?. has a nice ring to it, cheers. @Beornling 3.1415, funny you should mention a Dread. As thats my next JP project after this one. Risky I know, and would have to make the Dread so much less bulky. Still trying to find decent jets for it. The jet sections of some Tau models would fit with some Imperium mods to it would work, could always use as you say the boosters from the LS as the exhausts. So keep your eyes out forthat one.

Eberious Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Had a look at the Dread idea, I don't think its really going to work. ;) . But I'll still keep my eye open for good parts to use. Back to current project. The 2nd Vet Termie, its quite hard to get a decent pose with L_claws at the best of times. But getting them to look right on this guy was a wee bit of a pain, got there in the end and pleased with the outcome. Still some greenstuff areas to clean up and cracks to fill in, some of which will dissapear with a good paint job. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01903.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01906.jpg The GSt with holes in is chainmail, A dead Chaos Termie, no match for the might of the Imperium. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk270/Eberious_2008/DSC01911.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Plasticard Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 These look very funny! But they work, and look great at the same time! When you play at a GW or somewhere else with these guys, be sure to post any feedback (good or bad) from the opponents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liltom Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 "Sure, you can jump pack your terminators, but I'm jump packing my vindicator :tu: " Those look quite fun, although I would hate to see one fall over, and be stuck on the floor like a knight in full armour, being slowly prodded to death by grots :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiplash Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 nice pose and of course a standard possessed terminator would never be able to stand up to that of a superior swooping termie! i know this is off topic to what you guys are talking about and no offense to the models, but is it me or were the molds for the BT upgrade sprue pretty shody? all of the pics i see they seem to merge with the plastic!

Thanks all. @wiplash. I think most of the BT icons moulds are ok, I suppose it depends if you get a bodged batch or not. From the pics yes they look as if they just "melt" into the armour. Once painted you'll never see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
