Scout Sniper Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 OK I have posted threads of my attempts at truescaling before and recieved biting critism. But rather than despairing and giving up my true scale dreams I decided that though I will probably never try modeling again there is another route... The Kit-Bash! So here they are two cobbled together Marines from my bits box: http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww270/miskellybones/DSCF0641.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww270/miskellybones/DSCF0643.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww270/miskellybones/DSCF0640.jpg They are not finished yet, still need to be tidied up and some bits filed, plus the cracks need filling but I think they look very wolf-ish!

Pig Of Sparta Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 A very good take on the truescale idea. I really, really like the first one. Makes me want to build one of them myself. The comteplative look into the dead ork's eyes is very atmospheric. Kudos to you sir for making me want to give these a go (if that would be ok of course) :). Seriously though, I look forward to seeing how these progress. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I' m with Pig of Sparta on this one - the first marine caught my eye and makes me wanna buy a load of chaos bitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Dude the first guy looks awesome!!! Real menacing like, good to hear you don't let things beat you and you continue to pursue the true scale dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think these would look alot better with Marine chest pieces, they do look pretty ace though! Just need to add a couple more Power Armour pieces :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 looks very good so far, just remember to trim mold lines and get rid of the chaos arrows. And if possible use marine chest plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout Sniper Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thank You some positive comments at last. To be honest I should have thought of this earlier - I bought the chaos bitz to do truescaling doghouse's method but my modelin' skills didn't cut it and then I was playing a game with my SW and BAM!!! It just hit my how simple this would be. Feel free to use this it would make me very happy! But anyway... I have been thinking about the practicalities of this, I mean some of them will have to be grey hunters/blood claws for it to work as an army. So I have decided not to make it a playable army but to make it an all HQ Apocalypse force (wolf guard battle leaders!!!) plus WGBL can take heavy weapons so it might actually work...

Chorus of Serpents Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This looks great. It still bother me a little that the boots aren't power armored, but I guess that's negligible. Could you talk a little bit about how you cut the cloak to make the backpack fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Wolves do whatever they want to! lol They do look awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout Sniper Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Again thanks for the comments guys and I am going to post some pictures of how they were made soon as to the "Ork Head Guy" He has a Mk IV helmet off the BT upgrade sprue. I was thinking again and decided to write some fluff on them as a lost company. This explains both the strange mix of weaponry (use whatever there is left or you can scrounge) and why they are all multi wound models (Veterans) does anyone know of any fluff on lost companies, 'cause I always prefer to use fluff that alredy exist rather than making it up. BTW: Coming Soon: The Standard Bearer; Some Guy with a Missile launcher; Guy with Bolter #1 and tutorial test model guy thingy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scout Sniper Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Here is the first painted model. I have decided to make them a custom chapter rather than SW (try clicking the link on my signature) http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww270/miskellybones/DSCF0674.jpg http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww270/miskellybones/DSCF0675.jpg I'm gonna re-paint the face black (Sallies Geneseed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 all very nice but the first one was awesome! just paint it really well and put it in some snow and you can almost feel the emotion breaking out :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout Sniper Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Unfortunately I can't actually afford paints right now... which is why I haven't added to this in a while. Real life is kicking me while I'm down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
