epherous Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I usually have something on the TV while painting my space marines. Recently, its been marathons of Castle, to which I got the idea to make a conversion of good ol' Mal from Firefly to be one of my scout squad sergeants. Do you guys have any suggestions on what bits to use to make this possible?

Ironwulf Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Here are two separate minis that are designed to look like Captain Mal. Reaper's Space Hero from the Chronoscope line. and Heresy's Captain Nathan mini, along with Smuggler Crew. I hope this helps.

Roesor Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hmm...how about one of the metal inquistors? Different head and weaponary and you have the basics I think. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1160014a http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1160013a Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224687-converting-captain-malcom-reynolds/#findComment-2687803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine_the_Wolf Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Can you be a bit more specific as to just how you want the conversion to look like Malcolm Reynolds and still resemble a scout sergeant? Or are you simply wanting a mini that looks like the Firefly character in terms of both features and clothes? For example, if it's the former, are you looking for a head swap that will pass for Nathan Fillian? Or if it's the latter, are you looking for a guy with an overcoat, pistol and flared nostrils?

epherous Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was mostly looking for a head that would pass as Fillion-ish, and adding it to something in the 40k range of models. maybe something from IG and green stuff his iconic brown coat. I'm also open to other suggestions on making it myself, but not quite buying a presculpted model.

Durus Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sicarius' head looks a bit like him. Granted, it's not perfect, but to be honest I think the likeness is closer than the Reaper or Heresy minis. (Ironically...)
