Grazcruzk Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 This started out as a side project to use up leftover green stuff while I'm working on my daemon prince but I got to the point that I just wanted to finish it. This is my first attempt at a true scale marine. The backpack and the belt buckle are a little wonky but over all I'm happy with the out come and know where I need to improve if I do anymore. Just thought I'd share a bit, let me know what you guys think. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1357.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1358.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1359.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1360.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Remiel Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 It looks like you cut a metal PAGk model in half somewhere around the waist and added the MK VIII (collared) plastic torso. Then added the metal arms from the original metal figure. Am I correct? I am curious as I am looking at doing a DIY GK force and exploring various options available.

sword brethren Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 no, they are termie and arms and it looks ace, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 wow, that works really well, it doesn't look rangy/strangy at all, well done. A brief tutorial would be awesome (As i could rob such ideas for me wolf guard :) ) great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks for the replies. Yeah it is a termie bottom half and arms with a modified marine torso. I'll post the one wip pic I took. Hope that's ok with the mods. It's nothing spectacular, but it's something. I may do a tutorial soon if you guys think it's that good, I hadn't really considered it. :P Here's this real quick. As you can see I'm bad and didn't strip the old stuff before I set to work (I do that a lot). But again, I'll check back later, I have some things pulling me away at the moment. -Graz http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1353.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Its good except for the hair. The hair doesn't look like hair, and i don't think that style belongs on a grey knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 nice one thanks :angry: it looks different in that shot (more stocky) I see you bulked up the thighs too?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yeah I'll admit the hair is not the best, but it's more supposed to be a representation of myself than anything meant for actual gaming. Yeah, I filled in the thighs with greenstuff the way most other true-scalers do on the back of the legs where the armor frame sticks out. On the torso I just added a thin-ish layer of greenstuff to bulk it up and made the belt a little bit taller to avoid it looking fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamenter Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Nicely done. Grey Knights are certainly one of the more difficult models to truescale, what with having to completely rebuild the torso. You've done a fantastic job. Any plans for Terminators?

Grazcruzk Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Sadly no. It is something I would like to tackle one day but I couldn't say when. I don't actually play anymore for various reasons and mostly just convert what old minis I have laying around whenever I feel inspired. It is funny that this thread got a bump today, I am just in the finishing stages of a nurgle "something" and was thinking about posting some pictures later on. Completely unrelated to this, but I'll probably give you guys a look. Thanks for the compliment, by the way, I lurk around here quite a bit and your work is fantastic. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
