BOBMAKENZIE Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Just fiddling today with alittle something and came up with this: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gear.jpg Having essentially finished it made me sorta want to do an army of them. I was thinking Kantor, (A gear with Hammer of Dawn) 3x 10 man Squads of Sternguard (10 man Gear squads) with Drop Pods (Grind Lifts) 4x 5man Scout Squads with MLs & Snipers (Abunch of Stranded with a variety of weapons) As an army... Build Wise the Gears and Kantor could all be done the same way as this current model and then the stranded built via Modified Catachans? Or Empire Militia maybe? Or perhaps just an ecclectic mix of minis? Thoughts suggestions and C&C all welcome. my main thought right now on improvement is with the Lancer.. Edit: Changed the Description to be more specific to Gears of War Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 thats awesome :tu: never played GOW ( wish i had a 360) but i love the guns looks like a poster GOW guy :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1786416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEanBOb Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Very good conversion. I nearly broke my neck in the doubletake, not realizing that GoW stood for Gears of War at first. My only gripe is the lancer, its just too small. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1786528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBMAKENZIE Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 thats awesome ;) never played GOW ( wish i had a 360) but i love the guns looks like a poster GOW guy :P its a great game and the first one fairly recently came out for PC is my understanding. Though the second is far superior IMO. Very good conversion. I nearly broke my neck in the doubletake, not realizing that GoW stood for Gears of War at first. My only gripe is the lancer, its just too small. Thanks, the Lancer was really the only thing I wasn't happy with. It was a fiddly pain in the neck to do and doesnt look great. In fact the hardest part of the whole thing to do was the lancer and it really is probably the worst...Any ideas how I can change it alittle? I'll be experimenting myself but if someone has a great idea I'd be for ever in their debt :) Now I gotta produce 30 more *Sigh* >.> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1786656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItSeWiNg Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I was Thinking Of Doing a Stranded Army with Catachan But Never Got The Money Or Time Ide Love To See It Tho - Steve Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1786668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Minds Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 That looks really good. My only fault with them is the lancer. I've played Gears of War and that looks like it from some angles. I recommend using the tutorial on making the chainsaw bayonet. Scroll down a bit. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...;showentry=2013 Otherwise, good luck!

Mal Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 impressive, but i'd consider using guard heads as the marine heads are comically large. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1786785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBMAKENZIE Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've done another 8 torsos And Ive been fiddling with a roadie run positioning. This is the result so far http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gears/Run.jpg I've also been working on a long shot and a new lancer (based off that Bayonet article) but neither are quite ready for showing off yet. At the very least I now have 10 marines worth, and will do a Kill team of these guys. Unfortunately I find my other 20-30 torsos I should have that I need for this project so It may be put on hold till/if I buy another 4 boxes of Assault Marines.

BOBMAKENZIE Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Here are the two guns I've been working on. My Longshot Sniper rifle on top and the Lancer Assault Rifle just underneath. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gears/LancerLongshot.jpg Here is the now almost completed Roadie Run Test model (I need to attach a few guns and the leg pouches + Rienforcements) Then find a good head (Hopefully helmeted) Edit: Forgot the running pics http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gears/Run2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1789367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 That Longshot sniper's looking pretty sweet and the lancer's looking better as well. Looking forward to the next update.

BOBMAKENZIE Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 I got the better part of 10 done. I need to repose 4 sets of legs, and find Arms legs and Weapons but other then that the first squad is basically done being built (The reposing is fast and easy) The hardest part really is finding the source of arms and weapons I need...but Oh well. I figure I can add all that stuff last before painting. The only ones I dont have pictured here are: The completed Test mini, the Roadie Run test Model and another walking model that I have misplaced. Legs that need to be reposed http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gears/Legs.jpg Walking Legs Finished http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gears/Walking.jpg Take Cover! This one can be dont up either sitting down and firing over his shoulder or leaning out from a small barrier firing. (Im leaning towards leaning out and firing, please excuse the bad pun.) http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gears/Cover.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1793684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I like this idea. I played the first game (yet to play the 2nd :lol: ) and the cool armor stuff you added is cool. The shotgun and spike grenade on the back of the first mini really made me admire it. I think it would be cool to see. How are you going to do the COG helmets? You know from the basic soldier?

BOBMAKENZIE Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 So its been abit, but I've been busy, I painted a 500pt LOTRs army, and Got through a bad cold/light flu. I also managed to get all but two of my first 10 sternguard Posed. ALl I need is guns arms and heads. In the mean time I did manage to assemble a test model for my stranded. Though I know its not strictly Power Armour I hope the mods dont mind, seeing a how I will be using them as scouts. I wanted a really downtrodden feel to the model, and I think that really came through. This fellow seems to have collected an odd hodge podge of gear, an old construction helmet, an antique pistol, a trenchcoat and a Torque bow. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Bobmakenzie/Gears/Stranded1.jpg Assuming I feel good about this guy as a scout in the morning, I will begin mass production of them (20 in all) towmorrow.

RazakelXIII Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hee, these are awesome. Personally I liked the first lancer, but the second one is good too. You need a Carmine, hole in head and all. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1801273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBMAKENZIE Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 which carmine? the second one got eaten....I wonder when the other 2 will show up.... and how they will die... I could make Carmine, Carmine, Kim and the other two Carmines my objective markers.... Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm gonna try to build another 19 stranded today and get em posted up in squads.

ZiggyStardust Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Great fan of GOW. Good work with the models. Make the Carmines objectives, one without head, one with his chest torn open and the other two too be revealed (they're gonna die for sure ). Have Kim lying down with a sword through his stomach too. Awesome. Keep it up! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153265-sterngear/#findComment-1802073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Is carmine the guyfrom the first game that just has the base style uniform(Cog)? I liked himthe best to be honest, I love the look of the standard guys of games. Like the new Halo 3 Recon game, and such. I just love the guys that aren't special or in the spotlight but still can pwn. Anyway these models look really cool. Good Luck!!
