PRoeske Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi guys, I decided to make a space marines captain, with lighting claws and jumppack. I do't think i'm going to use it in games, but really liked the possibilities to convert it. Here are some picturs: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-TLOML3DP.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-QRCDM7G8.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-TMAJFZWQ.jpg Hope you like it :jaw: Grt.

Alanter Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The idea is cool. But you should use PA claws. The TDA ones are way too hugh. I would like to see him painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRoeske Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 The problem is, there are no right-handed (or left-handed, not sure) PA claws. The only ones i know are the pair used by Shrike. Bu if you know of them, i'd be interested But i compared the size, and a TDA lightning claw is exactly the same size as the PA powerfist, so i decided to use them. Gt.

cathar the great Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The idea is cool. But you should use PA claws. The TDA ones are way too hugh. I would like to see him painted. I can't agree with you. Although the Termie-Claws are rather big, they do fit on a mini like this. The jump pack, helmet and tabard give it enough bulk so the Claws don't look too big. Also, PA claws are harder to obtain for the left and right arm. A real no-no would have been to use the whole termie-arm but as far as I can see in the pics, proeske attached the fists to normal marine arms, so that's very okay ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akozz Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You can laso get claws for both hands from Space Marines Veterans MK I. http://www.puolenkuunpelit.com/kauppa/imag..._sm_veteras.jpg top left guy, they are metal, but match perfect for marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narthecium Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I would consider GS'ng some flames coming out of the jet packs. They will look neat, make it more of an action pose, and help to balance out the model as you're very "top heavy" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinge Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You can use termie claws I did here http://www.coolminiornot.com/197699 Only I shortened the arm -(easy bit) I then cut a 1mm slice out of the middle with a hack saw and stuck the 2 halves back together filed and filled the result - (hard bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masnagj Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I really like the way the mini is posed, I just think the claws are oversized imo. I really like being able to use sicarus' helmet on other models to make them a bit different. I really like using them on the masters of the Chapter box. Now the next task is getting it painted! I used two of the command squad lightning claws and 2 power fists in my conversion.

Sorry for the dumb question but would this 1mm have made any difference. I can't even see where you did that on the mini (which is a compliment on your clean conversion) but would it really have mattered? Seems like a lot of work for actually nothing.

Zinge Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi, If you compare the lefthanded comander LC to a Termie LC there is a thickness difference and at the scale we are dealing with 1mm is quite a lot. (mabe slightly anal but hey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I love the pose and the use of Sicarius' helmet looks great, a pretty sweet model all told! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about? I've got a power armor lightning claw and a terminator lightning claw right here and the fist and claw part are the exact same size.
