Thunder_god Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Here is my first two assembled squads in a long time. First up is my Terminator Assault Squad. The thunder hammer peens are scratch built (as per my tutorial) as are the Ultramarines emblems. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01926.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01928.jpg The helm is from the Forge World Commander Culn and is painted in the 2nd ed. style. It will go on the cork board, erm, the termie with all the purity seals. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01927.jpg The lightning claw guys are next: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01928.jpg All will have Forge World shoulder pads. The tactical squad is up next. They are based off the Forge World Red Scorpion resin bits. I love those Mk.4 torsos. All will have metal Ultramarine pads. The heavy weapon will be a heavy bolter. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01929.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01932.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01931.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01930.jpg All miniatures are on Dragon Forge Designs resin bases. They ROCK! I've tried to build some character into my marines. Let me know what y'all think. More will come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder_god Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Great looking models. Is that plasticard you are using? Yup. And strip, and tube, and rod...practically anything from the Evergreen and Plastistrut rack at the local hobby shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I keep meaning to give that stuff a try. This might inspire me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 this could be an awesome smurf army :) 2nd ed was darker blue right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Very nice there mate :rolleyes: where afraid to be seeing another standard smurf army there.. :o but i where supriced to see a nice and cool one instead.. :lol: nice use of parts and modeling.. :) cheers mate That is what I am going for, an interesting, well modeled army that is characterful. This will not be your standard Space Smurf army. I promise that. this could be an awesome smurf army :) 2nd ed was darker blue right? The 2nd edition color was Ultramarines blue for the armor, but these will be the newer, darker blue. Something close to a Prussian Blue. P3 Exile Blue is my base color. I just like some of the 2nd edition touches, like the striped helms, and even the red-orange colored lightning claws. I have a 2nd ed. codex just for the inspiration. Thank you to all the early lookers and comments. I promise this will be an enjoyable ride. ~Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2nd ed. codex just for the inspiration. I like the conversions and insignia so far. Very characterful. It will definitely stand apart from the hordes of standard from-the-box space marines painted up as Ultramarines. I especially like the walking sergeant with the storm bolter. The red helmet with a white stripe is how the Ultramarines denote veteran sergeant status. Regular marines have the blue helmet, veterans (including squad leaders) get white, sergeants red, and veteran sergeants red with a white stripe. So your terminator sergeant should have the red helm with a white stripe and the rest of your terminator squad should have white. If you really want to get an old-school feel and you do tactical terminators, remember to put black and yellow hazard striping on the powerfists.

Here ya go: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=177332 I've been working on Sgt. Purity Seal tonight, and I've adjusted its height upwards a few millimeters. I think it helps sets him apart as the squad leader. I've also given him a scratch built Roman-strappy-belt-thingy. It needs to me detailed out some, but that's in the works. I also gave him a hood ornament made from a servo-skull from the Devastator set. It looks cool to me. He also got a back flap/banner from the Devastator set too. I think he's done apart from fine detailing and painting now. Here's the pictures: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01933.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01934.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01936.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01937.jpg Thanks for the comments everyone.

Thunder_god Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Here's the primed and started Chaplain Dread for my army. I'll count it as either a regular Dread or a Venerable Dread. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01938.jpg Having an all black dread in an UM army will be a nice visual break from the norm. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01939.jpg The scroll came from a Sisters of Battle mini, but I'm not certain about that. I just think it adds to his chaplainyness. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01940.jpg The 2XL lascanon is not affixed permanently, but I don't have any magnets small enough to make it interchangeable just yet. Who knows, its the traditional Dread load out so it may become permanent. Lemme know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The thunder hammer guy looks very bottom heavy. I think it's the huge amounts of seals on him. Looks good other than that though. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Here is my Agemman counts as. He's modeled after Kantor for rules purposes, and is made from the AOBR captain body, a Master of the Chapter powerfist, and the storm bolter from the terminator chaplain. The torso is my fav from the Templar line, and the emblem is from the FW PE fret. It still has a long way to go, and the head is just a place holder, so here y'all go: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01941.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01942.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01943.jpg How's this for a start?

dood515 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It's pretty cool but the right terminator arm does look a little big/wide/thick?? They made the sword arm attach at a weird point so you can't just attach a hand you need the wrist too, just to make it harder to convert -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Here is another Marine that I have been working on for a while now. It is my Company Champion. He has a long way to go, especially since I have yet to apply any epoxy putty to the joins or the altered leg, but this is the basic pose and mock-up. He will probably also have a cape. Parts used were: Forge World Red Scorpions Vet. SGT torso Forge World Grey Knight head Emperor Champions sword and forearm. Plastic legs, bolt pistol arm, Eldar Dire Avenger crest, and Empire shield Forge World Ultramarine icons and purity seals stock styrene http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01946.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01945.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01944.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/DSC01947.jpg The extra armor is just strip styrene applied and cut to shape. Strip was added for the ribbing, and the IV was made the same way. Lemme know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
