Chaos Movie Marines!

[Rahveel]

So, semi-recently I had a go at converting a truescale (chaos!) marine for =][=munda, unfortunately my group decided against an =][=munda campaign. I rather liked the model though, and it continually catches my eye, demanding that I allow it to crush the imperium. I have decided to incorporate him into a full squad, who will be used as movie marines during friendly games.

 

Now, I could keep rambling, or show pics. I know what you would prefer....

 

Here is the original model (PIP) that inspired the project (WIP shots to follow)

I was fairly happy with him, a few things felt a bit off (the leg length and groin aria), so I took a lot of tips from the many wonderful truescale blogs on warseer, B&C, and DakkaDakka for my next model.

 

Sill very WIP, with earlier WIP pics to follow.

the rivits are giving me problems, if anyone has any advice on making these (I don’t have access to a hobby store, the closest is 2 hours away) I would love to hear it. Otherwise I like his progress so far. the GS still has a fair amount of smoothing to be done, but that will be one of the last steps.

 

WIP pics from both models:

Any feed back would be great. I am fairly new to sculpting armor (lots of daemonic stuff under my belt, but that is easy enough)

 

Also working on a truescale chaos biker (will be a Doomrider tribute), who will be randomly updated.

Thanks for any replies!

Sheer awesome man, sheer awesome.

[Brother_Zach]

Very nice! I have a spare set of space marine legs so I might have to try this!

[Terminatorinhell]

that doomrider guy looks awesome!

[lord gunthar]

wow wordless

where does the 1st guys head come from

[Lynnean]

that's a helmless Khorne Berzerker head; IIRC.

 

man, just awesome :devil:

[Rahveel]

yep, I had a tough time settling on a head for the first guy (as the WIP pics show), the zerk head added a nice chaotic/renigade feel.

 

on a loosly connected subject, this squad was orriginally intended to be fallen crimson fists (some of you may have noticed the freehanded icon on the right sholder), however, I am strongly considering making them nightlords. any opinions on this?

 

Did a bit of GS work last night, filled a few gaps, added some extra detail to the chest piece, and the straps on the sword. Also did some detailing on the bare shoulder pad I am unhappy with, so no pics of that.
