Terrible_Trygon Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I decided to make a True Scale Marine for fun. Here he is with his arms and head blue tacked on. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/Terrible_Trygon/Tarzards%20Talons%20Champion/DSCF0212.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/Terrible_Trygon/Tarzards%20Talons%20Champion/DSCF0213.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 His legs look like they're crouching while the torso is straight, I'd try angling the torso forward a bit to match the pose of the legs to make ity look like he's sneaking or moving in cover. Also the waist could be a bit thicker. These are just minor things though as on the whole he looks badass. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah, without the waist and belt my true scale marines look kinda weird. The plan is to sculpt his armour so that it matches the style of Captain Sicarius's chest and abdomen armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 More progress http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/Terrible_Trygon/Tarzards%20Talons%20Champion/DSCF0221.jpg Still got to file that green stuff a bit. I have plans for the chest plate, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdrive Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Looking good. I'm slowly gathering parts to start a true scale army of my own, and I'm curious what you use for the back plate of the chest? Is it just a cut down terminator back or is it a regular marine back?

Terrible_Trygon Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 A regular marine back. This one has had a ton of green stuff work done there because he is wearing a custom suit of power armour. Also here is a size comparison shot. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/Terrible_Trygon/Tarzards%20Talons%20Champion/DSCF0222.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Disciple Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I like him, I may have to "borrow" this for creating Kor Phaeron ;) I'm looking forward to seeing him when he's finished. Disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible_Trygon Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 He was made using Dark Elf Spearmen legs, a FW renegade torso and a FW Death Korp grenade launcher with arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g0atmilk Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i like his pose. he looks like hes walking thru the battle like " yeah, im a beast. what?" and those traitor guard are very nice too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Man I'm impressed. He has a really intimidating look about him. You sure do some good converting. This and the Sister you did. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 @ Dyp: DYPY BOY! HELLO MY SEXY ASTRO CHUM! @ g0atmilk: Ah yes, the pose I selected really makes the guy look more menacing, sinister, and heaving with pride even, then the usual Chaos Marines you get these days, spasming and frothing from the mouth, waving their weapons in the air aimlessly. I have always figured that most Chaos Marines would be if anything more disciplined and skilled then any Loyalist Marine. With ten thousand years under their belts they should be extremely intelligent, experienced and know more tactics then you could shake a Codex Astartes at. So I wanted to reflect this in the model by making him look more like a great ancient noble of times long past instead of a arms in the air mad man. And everyone knows that the calmest one is often the greatest threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feuer_faust Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Looking good! The GS needs a bit of filing to keep it smooth, but that will probably come later. He still looks a little too skinny waist-wise, although overall he's lookin' good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0atmilk Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 very true! you know, as they say, "in a time of darkness, turn to the blind man for help. in a time of madness, turn to the madman for guidance." or something like that.. i thought i had a point there but..

Alkana Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Very cool. Is the front of the torso from a chaos terminator? And how did you make the collar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 The front torso is a terminator chest plate with the top part cut off and glued to the top of the chest plate on it's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have been considering something. A new head.

Doghouse Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nice! :D It's a shame the LatD army went the way of the dodo because that's the best place to use truescale marines. They're looking great so far mate! I'll be watching this with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're looking great so far mate! I'll be watching this with interest. I do plan to use them as a Alpha Legion squad using the Imperial Armour 5 Renegade and Traitor army list. My Chaos Guard have been kitted out in a manner that allows them to use multiple army lists after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 That's a great idea mate, I was thinking of something along those lines as well. It'sa shame the special character for the alpha legion is specific to the scenario that he's in. It'd be great to see Astartes leading guardsmen again.

I prefered the previous head, this helmet, for me, totally ruins the "Calm and Collected" Chaos Space marine feel, the massive grin just make me think madman... eesh... *shudders* Other than that, good model so far, looking forward to seeing the completed squad!
