AlexCrute Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Still working on the vet serge cos I say no top knot. Loving these so far. How many you got planned? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yep, still working on it, I decided no top knot ^_^ I dunno, I got something like 2 Tactical/Dev Squads (10-20 Marines), 1 Termie Squad (5) and 1 Vet Squad (5), plus possibly a Dread and a Command Squad. But knowing myslef that's still far off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hey all. Once more an update on the slowly progressing marines... Firstly, my (6th) measly attempt at 3D-illusional battle damage... MkV marine: MkVI marine: Auspex on the MkIV marine: And my veteran Sgt, with banner added... Whaddaya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hey guys and gals! Now, update again. Here's something I'm particularly proud of. It took me a long time to collect the Bitz I needed. Additionally, the model is heavily Green Stuffed, which was also a hell of a work. I present you with my very first Mk3 "Iron" Armour suit! I'm gonna be using him as a veteran sergeant for one of my tactical squads. So far, he is still missing his left arm, as I have yet to find one with a power sword (anyone got ideas where I could find one?). So, what do you think?

Ufthak Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Update! Couple of new marines coming along in addition to the old unfinished ones... The old veteran sarge... 98% finished MkV Corporal: New marine: Plasma gun trooper in MkIV Armour, using the old RT era helmet and the FW Red Scorpions torso: And, finally, my first heavy weapons marine with Autocannon! Thanks for the tips guys, I decided to use the sentinel Autocannon, and it worked quite well! Detail of the GreenStuffed head with studs: Whaddaya think?

Ufthak Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Furthermore, a question: I'm planning on giving one of my marines a rocket launcher, and in the Collected Visions I found a few pics of Pre-Heresy marines and soldiers using Pre-Heresy rocket launchers: Now, the question: Does anyone have an idea where I could get these, whether there are any models of these in existence, or how I could make them quick and easy? Help would be much appreciated! --Ufthak-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh, and by the way: Is it legal that I made photos of the pics and posted them here? If not I'll take them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Priest Haelaeif Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I think I remember the Space Crusade rocket launchers to look quite like these, but I might be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonfrog Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 the rocket launchers from the first space marine box set, those would be what you are looking for. oi oi frog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Them there're genuine RTB01 Rocket Launchers. Accept no substitutes. One of Tiger-Raja's Fighting Tigers with the appropriate launcher Hard to see the details thanks to glare, but as you can see - they exist. Now for you to scour e-Bay, young Padawan.

Lord Noble Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Now for you to scour e-Bay, young Padawan. And cry because you have to use those hideous things... Honestly, I'd GS one. Your models are sculpted well, and it shouldn't be too hard to get that look by hand... By the way, how did you get the AOBR missile-launcher head off? I got one off, but complete messed up the back of the helmet in the process... -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks for the answers guys. Argh, looks horrible the old launcher. I'm contemplating simply using the standard one, since that one also features in the Collected visions. Or I could go the middle way and use the Chaos Space Marine ones...Oh well... @Lord Noble: That a*s-b***h of a head...I sawed it off, then carefully cut and filed down the back part, but it still looked rather bad, so I green-stuffed a little and made sure the head sat in such a way that the back neck guard covered most of it. Did you manage to make it look good? Any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Alrighty, here's an update: Finished a further MkVI marine, and almost finished the MkVI vet sarge as well as the MkIV Plasma gunner. My favourite, the MkIII vet sarge, is also slowly coming along. Sorry about the bad quality of the pics. Detail of shoulder pad: Stud-head painting in progress. I'm quite proud of this MkV helmet, though he's a son of a b***h to paint... Plasma gunner: Vet Sarge 1: Vet Sarge 2: Detail of shoulder pad on recently finished MkV marine: And now, may I proudly present my very first attempt at the hideously difficult MkII "Crusade" pattern power armour: Whatcha think of it? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiplash Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 yeah looks great your greenstuff needs a bit of work but its much better than mine the helmets are really fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotgunFacelift Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Great conversion work! I'm a much bigger fan of the muted yellow imperial fists, rather than the Bright Yellow Color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thanks guys. Yep, I'm still rather a novice with Green Stuff, but I think I've done satisfactory jobs so far. Plus, in my experience, Green Stuff often looks a lot better when painted, so it doesn't matter if I made minor mistakes, I can just correct them somewhat with the painting.

shaw3029 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Great looking Imperial fists. Have you thought about using the iron warriors chest pieces for the crusade armour they look like the might work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thanks Shaw :( Yep, the IW torso could work, but I haven't been able to get hold of one, and besides that I hate using metal - it's expensive and the paint wears off so easily...I prefer plastic and resin :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ufthak Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ok, update! Though the legs didn't turn out quite as nice as I was hoping, I'm still satisfied :) Whatcha think of this MkII suit? Quite proud of this one, was a son of a b***h to make... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Update: Couldn't resist painting my MkII right there and then, so here's the results. He's still missing arms and backpack, since I'm still not sure which weapon to give him. The painting is about 60% or so done, the details are all still WIP.

Retrograde Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Nice crusade armour there Ufthak ;) Are you still gonna use the maximini helms? I've got some myself, I'm just not motivated enough at the moment to do anything with them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
