War Angel Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn74/Lastdogdead/061.jpg ok, i know it looks like i hacnt really touched these guys, but i couldnt work on them all last week, And i spent the weekend getting the differnt mold lines off. the other three are also mold line free, but because im against the snap on clone's of the AOBR (this is from that box) im trying to convert them all each in a unique way. on the left you see a Termi whos leg i cut off and reposistioned. i had wanted it to be streching forword as though he where climbing stairs, however it didnt quite work out as i wanted, his leg is insted strched to his left (our right) on the right, we see a Termi who insted of having the snap on termmy chest/head, i cut up at a normal marines chest and pushed that in, filling gaps with GS. though it really only change's the eagle on his cheast plate, this gives me the option of cutting up a terrmy head to see how to go about changeing the direction there looking. for him i may use another head that i'll bulk up with some GS. the other three, I want to make the squad leader be pointing, but he still needs to have his SB and PS, so i think he'll be pointing WITH the sword. A third marine i want to have with his torso twisted as though he's faceing another direction (i had also wanted this marine to have an assault cannon, but i cant find anything good for that. the final marine may just have a simple head twist, not sure. I dont want to repeat the same converson over and over, im trying to expand the uniqueness of my conversons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin .44 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Looking good sir, i see what you're gettingat with the stepping terminator, and if it wasn't the AoBR it wouldjust need a simple torso repositioning. hope it works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinlager Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Looking good :P But in my opinion I think the pointy head on the termie is too long. Otherwise than that, keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 i just started working on that at the moment, its not working so well... im thinking if i do this, i would NEED to give that marine a heavy flamer or something.... he cant have a normal SB im going to have a few more modifications to these guys done in a bit, should be updated at least by tomorrow, might have them sprayed by tuesday...

NemFX Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Eh.. I'm torn on the termi helms.. I know what your trying to do, I just don't know.. But could we get an army pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 heres the full squad (well, combat squad) most of the GSed arms dont stay, the ones that do havnt cured yet. (ill take all of them off before painting/priming) i tried getting them to stay on but there a little camera shy today. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn74/Lastdogdead/011-1.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn74/Lastdogdead/010.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn74/Lastdogdead/009.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn74/Lastdogdead/008.jpg the one wih out a head, i have a replacement head/cheast for him, but im still wondering what to do.

(the most being a tie between the second and third i would say, and the least being the first) C&C if you want, theres probably not much to say about them, once again sorry for the poor pics, i'll try and get these guys painted and glued together so i can have a real update this weekend.

AnDyzZzoRe Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 things are looking good so far, the termie helms look interesting, and im sure theyll look great with some paint on them :wallbash: keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 should look something like this (the above painter marine is for a marine outside of the veterans company) still a few things im unsure about. the first picture is what i think to be a good representation of USMC dress blues on a space marine. For the veteran company, im going with the Marine Corps Drill team, which use's the white trousers.... because it would blend with the belt to much, i made that first bit just under the belt blue.... and when i had first started peiceing ideas together for this army, I thought "blood stripe...marine NCO's.... Veteran honours!!!!" the first company, every one would be a veteran, so blood stripes right? but the drill team dosnt use the blood stripe on the white pants....what would look better? side note, will probably be adding a red trim to the shoulders, cause thats just me.... also the line around the neck tab will be red, see my WIP and look at the compleeted marines there to find out more. that blue looks darker when i paint it....

War Angel Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 oh yeah, need oppinion, for thoes of you who know what im doing.... do i stick with the white pants, or should i add that blood stripe? what about the knee's? i was going to use that for rank/squad and such.... also the shoulders dont have a trim to them, which makes them look much differnt from even what a fellow first company (sternguard or vanguard) would look like. thanks for the oppinion's C&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Maybe you should dirty up the white a little.. The blue looks great, but the white strikes me as incomplete.. I hammered this out in opencanvas.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
