Frogstaff Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You might also note that on an 8 foot tall bio-enhanced female the breasts probly arent often large enough to need modified armor compared to the giant pectoral muscles of an 8 foot tall bio-enhanced male :lol:. Just sayin is all. The concept is fine. The exterior modifications to the armor are silly.

Kreidian Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Looking pretty nice! Curious, what helmet is that you're using on the Grey Hunter? :) It's a helmet from a Khorne berzerker box, actually, with plenty of modification. Khorne Berzerkers have quite a few awesome bits in there that I like to use, so long as care is given to "de-chaosify" them. ;) As for why would they add breasts to power armor. Why add any modification to power armor? Why do Space Wolves add any runes or wolf pelts or any of the wolfy bits to power armor at all? The reason is because Space Wolves are fiercely independent and each one strives to make a name for themselves, to build their saga. As part of that they're always looking to modify their armor to be unique and wholly their own. Customizing the power armor like this is a way for these female wolves to say "This is me, and this is my power armor, now watch me go into glorious battle!" p.s. Totally gonna make an all female Skyclaw Valkyrie squad sometime, just cause that'd be cool to have. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180306-theyre-in-let-the-creative-juices-flow/page/2/#findComment-2141923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublindawg Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm just wondering what her cup size would be for a 7' woman to have a modified power armor. :D Hoooooowwwwwwl Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180306-theyre-in-let-the-creative-juices-flow/page/2/#findComment-2141927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I haven't seen the new box up close yet, so forgive me but I was wondering... Do they have a head in there that could be converted into the one from the girl in my pic? I have a datasheet idea. Still really eager to see just how it looks when it is painted! That thing already looks better than most of the wolves you could make from the old box.

All of the heads are definitely male looking, even the ones without beards, which are few. This is why I'm using the wood elf heads. And it's gonna be a while till I get everything painted.

dublindawg Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 A long time ago, early 90's, late 90's, GW came out with female IG. Not that you can get them anymore but hey maybe they will come out with SM women.

Skirnir Ragefang Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I still never can understand why there should be two protruding buckets on the marine power armor every time someone model them to be female. In my world the smartest thing those females could do was to do an breast reduction, and to be honest, that power armor can be quite spacious without bucket modification. That is something that often irks me, too. Nearly every female Marine project has simply Marines with oversized breasts modeled on. While the first one in this thread is okay, the second one looks just wrong. Now i would like to see something done with the existing sister models. Not too long ago i saw a converted Canoness with braided hair, which did look kinda cool. If you also model her tabard to be made of fur and add some other stuff, this would make some wicked female Wolves. I'll try this out when my next order gets here (curse you mailman! i want my 'dex!) as i have currently run ot of green stuff. EDIT: Wohoo! found pictures of the Canoness http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp102/T...pg?t=1244732865 http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp102/T...pg?t=1247046672 Ain't she a pretty lass? Oh and what would we call female Space Wolves? The biological term could be considered offensive.

ChainsawDR Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 good on you for doing it. I'm glad this threads not been torn apart - people can get enough stick from non-players without getting it from players as well. I've seen converted mugs of ale, and I've seen some really bad paint jobs, never seen a pair of tits on a space marine but nothing wrong with it at all, its a game and do what makes you happy, further more... it's a sci-fi game - when was the last time you saw a sci-fi movie without a hot girl in it? How are GW going to make a movie out of this game without some girls eh?

Grimmwulf Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Really nice conversions! i would love to see a female wulfen model. Just a fluss question: do your female space wolves also develop an hairgrowth as intensive as male ones? I got some disturbing pictures of beardy 8 feet women in my mind.

El Scotcho Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 That is an interesting question. As for the cup size on these chicks Dublindawg, my guess, would be somewhere in the D-E range normally, due to the added muscle mass beneath them, and if she needed special "buckets" on her armor, maybe somewhere in the H-J range. In seriousness though, very good job on the first one, thought I think the second shield maiden's armor modification's need some smoothing out/ blending into the armor around it. It sort of looks like one of those coconut gag bras. Also if you guys like female marines, google the Fighting Tigers of Veda. Most of his company commanders and a good number of the sergeants are female.

Kreidian Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've been to the Fighting Tigers site often, definitely a fan of his work. Would totally recommend it if anyone hasn't seen it before. Truth is the chest came out bigger then what I intended on the second model. I generally try to go for something closer to the first model. I find it works best when you go for more subtle changes. For example I trimmed down the waist on both these models slightly to give a bit more of a feminine shape. That's something most people wouldn't notice but it actually makes a big difference. As for the second model, I'm hesitant to try and trim the chest down cause things tend to only get worse if you mess with them too much.

Iron Man I Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Stick em with Logan and call them his Valkyries :D I'd buy it. And for people saying that the armor would squish the bewbs two things: 1)FREE THE BEWBS! 2)Have you seen how BIG fantasy/scifi artist make the chests of the women they draw? Truely the future is bright because every woman has a DD chest.

Morticon Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Aah ><; I did, but not sure if i still have. What I was talking about before as advice to the OP, is that the bulging boobs (in the second pic) dont really look so hot. Aside from the fact that super powered women would have little to no body fat it just didnt look as well sculpted as the first. My advice was to try make stylised breast plates as opposed to armoured breasts. In the pic above, ignore the scout girl and look at the three at the back. All three have bulkier chests than regular marines. Not shaped as breasts per se! Just some thoughts for the mix.

dublindawg Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 All this banter of female space wolves has got my creative juices flowing [keep your mind out of the gutter boys] and I am going to try and do a mock-up of a shield maiden/wolf priest this evening. What I am thinking is using the legs of a DA robed SM and apply green stuff to the front and back of the robing to create pelts in a sorta V angle allowing the robes to show thru on the sides. The upper body still has me a little vexed on how to proceed, but I am thinking of doing a bit of an angled filing of the upper body to taper a bit towards the waist line to suggest a slight femine body. Then use a head from an old lady of the lake out of the fantasy line and attempt to add some braided hair. Instead of the regular SM backpack maybe just attach a large shield for the back piece. The weapon of her office/position will be a sword held high.

MagneticFreak Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Please avoid any kind of feminine power armor design. The use of female head is, however, a very good idea I will certainly burrow since I also play wood elves. Seeing the fluff, female SW make perfect sense. To be, in order to make a successful female space marine/space wolf model, one has to use a female head (already done), and and as dublindwag suggested, the use of robes and light equipment to emphasize the feminine traits (katana vs chain sword for instance) I have recently went through the creation of a squad of Slaanesh Chosen, only using female heads (demonettes), long katanas and pink/purple color scheme. The results are impressive, and the models look very feminine, although no protuberances are present on the chest.

Imperator Mos Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think that the best way to make Power Armour look more feminine would be to trim the waist and bulk out the hips/butt area. Most females carry a higher percentage of their bodyfat in those places, as opposed to men, who carry it around the waist. Especially with a viking-theme, I don't visualize 300 style washboard abs (what with all the ale and mead consumption) or thin-hipped women.
