Skoby Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Been working on these for a while, all components are from the battleforce, with the exceptions of florists wire, guitar wire and greenstuff for the bionics. I hope these photos have turned out OK, I used daylight bulbs and I will be making a proper setup for taking photos soon. Also the fact I had to use my camera phone probably didnt help and whilst I tried to fix the colour balance it isn't perfect and some of the reds particularly look more pink. I am attempting to get some custom transfers sorted out and may touch up a couple of bits at a later date, other than that I consider them finished. The whole squad: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/281/squad5.png http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/403/squad4.png http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4030/squad3.png http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/5429/squad2.png Squad with rhino (almost finished) http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/9946/squad1.png Some Closeups of the sergeant http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/8338/serge3.png http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/7444/serge2.png http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/7130/serge1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 They look mean, in a bad way (which is good because this is 40k :)), I wouldn't mess with them. Just a background note although I don't really care and I've done it some of my power weapons I think... but blood wouldn't get on the power fist unless the field was turned off/broken or that happened before and then no-one cleaned it and you turned the field on which would then protect the blood stains hurrah! Anyway looks really cool and I'm all for kit bash sternguard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoby Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm not too sure on the blood now myself, the problem was the powerfist was a very large area of metallics and I wanted to break it up a bit. I do like the official sternguard models but I don't like having identical models and also they would need a fair bit of converting to look appropriate for Iron Hands and I'd rather chop up cheap plastic models than more expensive metals.

dood515 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Cconverted plastic over metal models any day!!!! I do have to say that the sergeant is far too bloody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannus Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Nice use of bitz (always good to see an AdMech torso slipped into a unit here and there) - but I do find the blood a bit distracting. I think too much attention was put into it so you notice the blood - but not the mini. If you are concerned about too much metal on the powerfist - then don't paint it all metal. I had the same concern with my powerfists and I solved it by just painting the fingers in metalic colors while leaving the fist itself as either black or gray. Other than that, I think they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoby Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks for all the comments, the sergeants being put with the squad I'm currently painted so I can re-do his fist without interrupting what little painting I actually manage to get done :huh: I'm also planning on attempting to get these custom transfers to work this weekend. Will update pics when they are fully finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 they're great but the blood doesn't look like blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
