Newtype Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Good day everyone. As the title says I'll post my finished units here for your consideration. So to start things off, here are my four HQ characters. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/MyCommandersFour.jpg From left to right they are Former Chaplain Voroll Tarkin (Counts as Capt. Cato Sicarius), Master of the Forge Gregor Hauld (with Conversion Beamer), Chapter Master Jorgen Tagg and Senior Captain Hakin Shrike (Counts as Capt. Kayvann Shrike) As I finish the other units in my army, I'll post them up as well. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlev40 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The helmet on the Shrike count as looks suspiciously like a Halo helmet... But they are some of the coolest minis I have ener seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onipunk Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Tell me how to do that Samus Aran/Halo helmet right now or I'm cutting down your internet ;) Good job, although the black looks kind of... flat. Excellent conversions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacekeeper Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Very nice, I like the conversion beamer, you know you got a good gun when you need three hands to hold it. How did you do Shrike's helmet? It looks really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incarnus Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I might suggest dropping the power fist on your master in favor of a relic blade, really no reason to throw away his I5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thank you for the suggestion incarnus, I did not think of that. But I have an idea for it already and I can work the power fist into it as well. I'm glad people like the halo helmet. How I did it was cut away the face portion of a regular marine helmet very carefully with a new #11 x-acto blade. Here is a regular marine face: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/P1010001.jpg What I cut away is the area bordered by the eye lenses and the bottom of the face grill. I carefully cut down until I had a recessed area that looked like the visor from the Master Chief. It's the part inside the red lines on the marine below:http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/CuttingtheHelmet.jpg I used a very smal amount of styrene solvent to smooth out the scrape marks, and after paint I ended up with this: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/MyShrike.jpg I actually tried doing a 40K version of the Master Chief. I'll find the pictures and post them as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtype Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 As per Brother incarnus's sugestion, I added what will count as a relic blade to my Chapter Master. Now I found some pictures of my first try at my Chapter Master and Chief Librarian Otreus Xander. So here they are for comparison. The New Tagg: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/P1010004.jpg and http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/P1010002.jpg With the old version: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/MVC-018F.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Do you simply have more common sense than the rest of us? Is that why you are able to do conversions even I could not predict and do them awesomely? There has to be a reason for this. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Zaku Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Common sense? With ~$50 plastic soldiers? Preposterous! Great new helmet idea, would it be too much for you to make a DIY article for it in the Liber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 As much as I dislike Halo I love those helmets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thank you for the compliments Gentelmen. :rolleyes: As for a DIY artical on how to do the Halo Helmets, I will see what I can do Brother Solid Zaku. On the subject of Halo, I found my Master Chief Space Marine conversion. Here are the pictures: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/40KMasterCHiefview2.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/40KMasterChiefview1.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/40KMasterChiefveiw3.jpg In regards to my conversions, I don't know if I would call it common sense that drives it. I have always looked at the game more from the modelling aspect than any hard adhearance to game cannon. I think its more a creative fight between the gothic degenerative science and xenophobic religious background of the Imperium, the Admech and the Marines vs. a desire to take all the robes, incense, candles and prayers and throw it all into the incinerator. I don't need prayers, incense, and incantations to turn on a light switch. And by the Emperors new shoes, would it kill the Imperium to use some glow sticks? Maybe its more along the lines of being able to separate your technology from your faith and still be a good loyal citizen of the Imperium. Church and State separate. Anyway I am glad that helmet conversion is well received. I'll see ablout that DIY piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generating Random Name... Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That's a sweet masterchief, one ting i would say is that i think it would look more like da chief's helmet without the ear/scorpion mandibles, but then, that's just my 2pence. That is Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Good day everyone. Been busy with work, family and home but have managed to finish the Tactical Squads for my LPC Vow. Here are Squad Unam: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/TacticalSquad.jpg And Squad Duo: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/Donnewtype/Space%20Marines/TacticalSquad2.jpg The Vanguard Squad and the Devistator Squad are in work as well. Hopefully get them up soon. All for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Man, I love the glowing eyes of your army! I wish I could do that with my wolves without it blending into the armor color. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arionel Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I've often wondered if ANYONE would do a "Halo" conversion, and here it was. Now that we've seen it...somebody's going to go out and build a UNSC strike force of Spartans, ODST, and Marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Urban Camo! I like them, but I really think they look a bit unfinished. I would suggest picking out a few details on each marine, such as greandes, painting them boltgun metal, and giving them a wash or two of badab black. They won't be shiny, they'll be a dark, almost matte silver, but it will make the marines look better. But damn those are some nice glowing eyes. edit: I'm guessing you're going for a "stealth" look on these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
