Lord Mordred Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Greetings I'm working on a cavalry SM fast attack squad, contacted GW and they said if it's clear to the opponent that the mounts are considered bikes, there's no problem at all in making this conversion so here we go: EDIT: uh forgot to mention the details :lol: The marine is still not glued in place, so it's a bit of a weird position. I've used biker legs because the pose, but it's still not quite the ideal, perhaps I'll put some straps on the feet to give it a more (hopefully) natural look! The right arm is that one bend and holding a granade, I've cut the granade top, made a hole and passed the straps. To avoid the steampunk look, and let be honest to fit the backpack on the horse, I've removed a handle on the backside of the horse and the gauge by the saddle. Will make it gunmetal with mithril highlights, and avoid brass and tin as long as I can. The gear on the belly of the horse are my greatest doubt:keep or scrap? option a- keep as it is option b- scrap them off, used loads of putty to make an "armor", perhaps a small plastic sheet as cover. ideas?

Dragonkin Arenis Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Ooh! nice usage of the Empire Steam Horse - but it looks a little steampunkish for me. What's his right arm doing exactly, the pose is a little unusual? I do like the concept, mind :tu: Arenis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214206-orient-brigade-sm/#findComment-2549944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I would file off the Empire symbols and put on the chapter insignia and things of that nature.

Lord Mordred Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 I would file off the Empire symbols and put on the chapter insignia and things of that nature. I've already ordered more Genesis pauldrons, with some spare, and I'll try to flatten one to fit there. making one myself won't be so easy... Perhaps just filling out the symbols and completing the holes with putty I can get enough flat surface to paint a symbol directly! hummmm scary...
