Movie inspired marines?

So I was at my local hobby center today, and I got into a discussion about different "Gun moments" from movies, and we came up with a couple that we thought would be cool to base conversions on. No speccific deal or arangment about anyone going any speccific models or scenes. Here's some the ideas we came up with:

 

Matrix: "Pardon me sir, but are carrying any keys, or metal objects?" *Neo opens trench coat...*

Batman: *Joker pulls 5 foot pistol out of his pocket*

Predator: Jessie Ventura with 'Ol Painless

Terminator 2: Arnold scanning back and forth with Grenade launcher in one hand and pistol in the other

Dirty Harry: "Do you feel lucky?"

 

Any way.... I put hobby knife to plastic and came up with this based on the idea above:

Over all I'd call it a win, though if I were to do it over again I'd look at using the terminator assault cannon versus the land speeder's. I think it's smaller and would fit better with the scale of the models, but then again having a mini-gun on foot in the middle of the jungle was pretty pointless anyway so it kinda fits.

 

I'm thinking about using the model in my Inq. Retinue as a H. Bolter Gun Servitor.

yes it is totally over the top...

yes, in reality he would need a mount of some sort... probably of the type found on a tank

he would also need a far larger ammo-hopper then what he has there.

 

Jessie Ventura accomplished all this and more in Predator, so what's the problem?

 

I'm gonna try and do a marine pulling up a trench coat to reveal like 2 bolters, and 4 Bolt pistols next....

 

of course I could do a scout with a bolt pistol with a ginormous long barrel and call it a sniper rifle... hmm decisions decisions...

Haha. We had some ideas over here like that! In fact. if you do any of these, please message me with some pictures! I want to check it out.

 

Jarhead - The guy with the glasses weilding two M249 SAWs. (You can use scout bolters)

Saving Private Ryan - The belltower sniper shot through the eye!

And for the hell of it. If you've played Call of duty 4, 5, or 6 Do a last stand Marine, laying on his back, wounded with his gun out. Haha.

Sorry for bad pic, but I only have the crappy phone camera.

 

I made this back in 94, and I´m repainting it now therefore no left arm. ;)

It´s one of the old space wolf models with the assault cannon from a old metal terminator, and I had to put a terminator badge on his shoulder to please my friends to allow me to use it. ;)

I cut the terminator badge of the metal terminator with a knife, hard work. ;)

 

The old assault cannon isn´t as big as the new, but the big look cool...a little clumpsy but cool. ;)

love the idea. I still think the most iconic gun moment is with tony montana: 'Say hello, to my little friend -blows down his own door with an underslung grenade launcher on an M16(?) killing 3 henchman-'

 

I once made a marine, weilding a plasma pistol and bolt pistol (Held sideways, you know, think it's called gangster style but I'm not sure) looking like he jumped sideways. More fun that anything!

 

I think we need a van helsing, you know have a marine pulling along a carriage mounted assault cannon. For those who don't get it: during a point in the movie van helsing the main character is walking through his bases armoury where he then hears and sees a large gatling gun on a carriage mount and says: 'why can't I have one of those?'

 

good model anyway, like it alot!
