UltraRich Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Ive picked up the Captain Culln body for my Ultra army and already removed the scorpion. What I need to do now is pick the right arms but Its a tough decision. Ignore the head as its just there for show Any comments on below Option A. Standard Sword and power fist http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul3.jpg Option B. Double Lightening claws http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul1.jpg Option C. Hammer and powersword fist (I like this one) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 if its DA then LCif other bolter and PW Sorry, I should have said this is purely as a good looking mini and not for gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalevolentMc Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I like the first option to be honest.. But the way the model is designed, his legs drive me insane. For some reason i would like to see his chest/head facing towards his left. Otherwise it looks like he's striking some sort of strange pose or trying to hitch hike by showing his leg.

Potan Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I vote for power sword and fist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 If the Rule Of Cool is your decision-maker - then it's Sword and Fist for me too. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningshadow Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I like the powerfist and powersword combo. The only thing that I would change is converting it from a closed powerfist to one of the open powerfists. I'm just not a big fan of the closed ones.

bigmalky Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I like the powerfist and powersword combo. It looks more natural than the TH. I've also never liked the look of lightning claws, they're way too bulky. Maybe they'll remodel them one day to look more Predator claw style, they just look very unweildy. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Sword and P-fist. Wheres the sword from please, as can never get onto GW site because the internet browser I have. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks guys I think its going to be sword and powerfist then As its been converted to my Ultra Army I think Ill shave the eagles heads off the breast plate to make it a winged scull. I'll start tonight and post my progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 I got the sword and body from bits and kits Click here When I got the body, sword and head they didnt have the bolter right arm so I got a load of other arms to have a play with. Ive got to say I ordered on the Saturday and had all the parts on Tuesday the following week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 :D ..........UltraRich... I am in your debt. How did you come across this site. I have been looking for ages for this kind of site. Its even got forgeworld parts on there. How reliable are they? Thanks mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 The other one I use which is slightly cheaper on some things but doesnt seem to carry as many spares is this one Click here I just spent £25 on bits an bobs to finish my Terminators and land speeders... problem is as your browsing you get the "that would be cool and its only 80p" syndrome. Before you know it you have bought 30 things for 80p :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 You could always go with 2 Thunder Hammers.... I like what you did with the skull on the torso of the armor. Which skull is that if you don't mind sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korloth Darkwolf Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 @ Eberius I've used bitzbox loads for plastics (they always seem to be out of stock of forgeworld) and always had quick delivery. Last order got put in about 7:30am (paid with paypal) and it arrived next day. Only had one order with the wrong bit (a 40mm round base delivered instead of 40mm square one I ordered) and after a quick email they sent out the square one free of charge. If its out of stock on a part you can email a request and usually get a reply on when its due in. I'll certainly be buying again (and again ....) from them. I've not ordered off bits and kits but they always seem to have more forgeworld bits in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Id use both Bitz sites again In fact Ive just placed an order for more Terminator bits and some commander spares AngryJohnny, its the skull face off the Command squad standard top Click here I tried a couple of others but they were too small, in hindsight Im not sure if this is too big. Since the earlier pics Ive shaved the eagles head and feet off as I thought they looked odd against the scull. This still needs cleaning up but you get the idea http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul1-1.jpg Now Im using the sword and bolter with Culln Im going to use the hammer on this guy, Ive ordered another Terminator body to take the lightening claws http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul2-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberious Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The chest skull and wings look great. Looking forward to seeing this finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIST_OF_DORN Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have bought bits from both Bitzbox and Bits and Kits. Both were reliable and fast, Bitzbox was the fastest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ive managed to spend some time on the two terminators and the except for the final highlights the eagles are done. I dont know what everyones experience of Forgeworld items is but I found painting both the eagle and cullns face a challange. The mould or sculpt is much more severe than that of GW to the point where the eagles feathers are almost square and not semetrical. This made the eagle look odd when highlighted. I had to give it a wash to tone it down. It was the same with the face. Because the eyes even had eyelids I had a bit of a mare painting it. This will need to be fixed later as Im not happy with it. I may even go to a standard head instead. C&C welcomed http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul8.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul7.jpg On the plus side the removal of the scorpion and eagle and replacement with the skull went well http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCHAOS Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 IMHO the Culn model needs to be looking to his left, and his right arm in mid swing with a weapon, otherwise if he's just standing in a ready position it looks like he is about to do some girly dance!

UltraRich Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I might see if I can get hold of the stock bolter arm at some point then and go for the standard firing position with him looking to his right. I was going to go for the option A (see top of thread) stance but Ive had an issue with the sword. Because its resin and not plastic its not as solid and one minute both parts of the hand guards were there, the next they werent! I amy have to make new ones or go for the sleek look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Just a quick update on this WIP I finally gave in and bought the Forge World Culln helmeted head and bolter arm. After sorting out the scorpion on the Bolter I think its come up pretty well I had to replace the sword after breaking both resin hand guards off but Im pleased with how it turned out and personally think it looks better chunky (see earlier photos) C&C welcomed http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cul10.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cull11.jpg Ive also been cracking on with my other terminator although Im in dilemma what colour to paint the thunder hammer. Has anyone any examples. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cull12.jpg This made me laugh. Ive just finished one of my scouts with a Candian head swap (these look great, more to come) and had it on the side with both Terminators. I think the comment "you and whos army?" springs to mind http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/cull13.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
