Micro Art Studios and Scibor Minatures Conversion Parts

[Techmarine Andreas]

I have have just bought a bunch of parts from both these stores to attemp a special character and honor guard unit, and was wondering if anyone else has used any of these commponents before.

 

What I am planning is as follows:

 

Start with the "Crusader legs" from Micro Art Studios.

On these I will be putting the "Spartan Torsos" from Scibor Minatures,

along with the "Spartan shoulder pads", also from Scibor.

Now I am unsure which helmets to use but have a bunch of MK IV Maximus Helmets which I think will look good. But if anyone has suggestions feel free. These guys are going to be close combat specialists and equiped from the weapons in the blood angels deathcompany box. Not sure of exact load out yet, still early days in the planning of this project.

 

These guys will be accompanying this chap also from Scibor who I intend to convert and paint up as a Librarian in Termi Armor with Force Sword and Storm Bolter.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.

How about these or those helmets?

For reference, here are two pictures:

AFAIK you can even tell the manufacturer which of the five types you want to have.

just a general comment: open-face helmets seem a bit problematic for soldiers in spaaaaaace. :P

The second and fourth plumed helmets from left look pretty closed to me and for the others one could probably greenstuff a vox amplifier.

the steamknight helmets are closed.

Those plumed helemts definitely have potential. Full/Closed face is a must but looks like a little greenstuff will take care of that niicely. I cant believe my google foo for conversion bits didnt lead me to Maxmini this weekend as I was searching for and ordering bits.

The Crusaders legs from Micro Art Studio are designed specifically for terminators. The Knights legs are designed for power armoured Marines.

Good job I have ordered some of them aswell then. I guess the fact that the legs are stated as being on a 40mm base should have been a give away that they were for Termies.
