JMcL63 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 As for Movie Marines: Once apon a time in a White Dwarf studio far away... a bunch of guys thought it would be fun to see how marines would be if they were to star in their own movie - someone made an army list and these are the result. UBER MARINES OF DEATH! Ah, well it seems you did a very good job interpreting that, because he certainly has that kind of style, as my previous remarks suggest. Movie marines, hmm... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahveel Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 awesome! Ive been working on a unit of my own movie-marines (night lords) in true-scale. only have one finished (started actually, as he was/is for another project as well). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/Rahveel/40k/SANY1094.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 ;) Me likey! Now all we need to do is make a film for each and then finish the trilogy with an EPICLY explosive ending :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahveel Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks! They will be trashing orks this summer. If possible, I will try to create some narrative battle reps, would be cool to set up a Movie marine, for lack of a better term, 'fan club' (actually, seems appropriate). Might be difficult to do an actual movie, but comic-style bat-reps might be cool. Thanks for the complement btw. he was originally meant to just be a renegade from the crimson fists (for an =][=munda campaign), but I have been hankering to build up some night lords, so have bitz in rout to make him and the rest of the squad so.

Twin .44 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Very well done sir! Really captured what they should look like. teeny head and enormous armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks dude :D I'm actually debating whether to do the whole squad as Imperial Fists of to have each marine in different chapter colours... Still not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 any chance of getting rid of the antenna? It doesn't really look right on a marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 maybe a bit late but i would sugest to attach the arms a bit higher, right now they are placed a bit low on the body good work none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Very nice work mate, I'm seriously impressed. :D The yellow is really nice as well, great job on him and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeno Skum Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 may be a stupid question....but whats a movie marine? is it like true scale? sry dont play marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Guard-ian Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Basically. When you play with them (if you do, many people just have them as sort of like "showcase models") They get stats that represent a marines capabilities in the fluff. So a vet sarge has a 10 WS and a 10 BS or siomething Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Sorry Met, but MOULDLINES. Not as bad as some of the others ones you've made, but still. The yellow is good, however, and well scaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Guard-ian Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 where do you see moldlines? I only see them on the helmat, and your probably not going to look there while looking at the models itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 where do you see moldlines? I only see them on the helmat, and your probably not going to look there while looking at the models itself There are actually mould lines on the helmet, the top of his head (they are pretty well hidden due to the pics), the side of the PF by his thumb, and both sides of each leg - but the legs were just because this was my first attempt at filling in the gaps so I put too much stuff in. (see last picture) As well as a few more spots I haven't mentioned - I wanna see if anyone else notices them :) Thanks for the replies guys, I've started cutting and filing and stuff on the next guy, but I'm out of plastic glue at the moment so production has slowed right down.

Brother_Zach Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm gonna say there's some on the antanae to. As a guard player, I've broken many vox casters dealing with them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahveel Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 great work! random question for you (or anyone who plays movie marines), how do you plan to interpret the flamer rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Those flamer rules were wierd. Anyway. I've also noticed thier is no shoulder trim. A tiny detail, I admit. Just noticed. But I'll balance that with a question. What is the torso? Terminator or Marine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcL63 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm gonna say there's some on the antanae to. As a guard player, I've broken many vox casters dealing with them :P With plastic models, I've long found using emery boards to be the ideal solution: It doesn't matter if the plastic clogs the emery boards the way it will with metal files, because the emery boards are cheap and easily replacable. The emery boards can be cut to shape with scissors to create a variety of sizes and shapes suitable for all the jobs you'll need to do. They are softer than either metal files or knife blades, so I'd imagine that their use would lead to less breakages of fragile plastic parts (this has certainly not been a major problem for me down the years). Hope this helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 great work! random question for you (or anyone who plays movie marines), how do you plan to interpret the flamer rules? How do you mean? I'll be making a flamer marine for sure - much like this guy but with a flamer. Those flamer rules were wierd. Anyway. I've also noticed thier is no shoulder trim. A tiny detail, I admit. Just noticed. But I'll balance that with a question. What is the torso? Terminator or Marine? Yeah, I didn't quite know how best to do it, so I didn't bother. Doesn't look too bad does it? I mean there are now shoulder pads on the Marines in DOW2... Oh, and the torso is a terminator one, with the top cut off and moved up slghtly.
