Torgaddon Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ok B&C, need your help on selecting something. I know its usually best to paint/model what you like, but after thinking about it and rethinking about it I need inspiration to be really able to create a kickass model. I purchased the GD model today with the intent of entering it in the 40k singles (for the OZ GD) as its just such a great mini. But I'm stuck on what chapter to do - Whilst the Hammer is great I'd rather have some conversion on the model so any ideas for weaponry/head etc etc. I'd love to convert it into a pre-heresy Emp Children model due soley to the Aquilla but im not sure the model is right for it, at the same time my favourite chapter is the Alpha Legion (PH) but the pose doesn't suit AL imo. Anyway, thoughts? would be greatly appreciated. When some pro ideas are chucked up there I'll start the creation and put some pics up at various stages. Cheers.

JetfireUK Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think that the limited model would look great as an imperial fist but yellow is a difficult colour to get right. How about a Black Templar - he could be part of the sword brethren?

Skull_Lord Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 you could try converting him into a chaplain, just replace head with a skull helmet and replace hammer head with a banner top to make in a crozius... thats atleast what i want to do, but i havent got the mini :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145362-games-day-marine-chapter/#findComment-1685030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruePhantasm Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 okay if your not converting i make him a slamander if you are prehaps with an assault jump pack a large sword, some greenstuffed longer hair and someposing on a senic base you could get an intrestng raven guard vanguard sargent Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145362-games-day-marine-chapter/#findComment-1685753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominar_Mortis Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 chaos that bad boy up! it's just screaming for a chainaxe conversion :rolleyes: DM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145362-games-day-marine-chapter/#findComment-1686144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiodome Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 if you want to be ambtitious, i think the GD marine would make an excellent standard bearer.

Torgaddon Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 @Jetfire: Black templar sounds not too shabby - except that I suck at highlighing black. But maybe some kind of templar marine would work? @ skull lord: Idea has great merit, but I'm not a fan of chaplains, they just irk me ;) @True Phantasm: Yeah, I was considering making him a salamander given the hammer, but once again this idea seems to be overdone. However the raven guard would look pro - just that I think for GD models with jump packs tend to overcrowd the mini (but maybe thats just me) @Midas: Reviler eh? consider it considered.. @Dominar: haha yeh I thought about making him a pre-heresy WE, or even a post heresy one, but it would just take too long for the conversion, which is a real pity because a nice chain glaive would be pro @Shiodome: mate I've been thinking the exact same thing from the get go. Its been a fight to consider the idea because my free-hand is only just starting to take off and I don't have time before the entry date to improve on something that large :P @Commander Sha'son: http://ca.games-workshop.com/Community/Games_Day/blog/mar_7/GD08_SM_front_b.jpg Right now I'm looking at maybe a smurf marine, but deck him out a little with some Roman-esque plating, give him a gladius and maybe a shield? I love the tabard, and that for me screams a chapter that is skilled with sword-play such as EC (preheresy) or UM. I also considered making the model into a highlander clan type deal, but to pull that off sucessfully a kilt is really needed and I don't want to overcrowd the model. Thanks for the comments guys, really appreciate it so far, keep em coming.
