zeroashram Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I based these marines on modern day special forces (SF,Rangers,Seals,PJs,Force Recon etc). Being as such, I didn't use any shoulder pads and the plasticard sheets on them and the helmets represent velcro. The pouches are from 1/35 scale military models. I use these models just for display. Thanks for looking. Any C & C are welcome. http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/3474/80171737.jpg Right: Used the old SM Scout Biker Bolter. Unfortunately, I only had 3 before GW discontinued their bitz service. http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9034/31743133.jpg http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9206/57096560.jpg Left: The tube on his back is a reload for his missile launcher http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5382/32955762.jpg http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2194/55944777.jpg Center: I used IG comm packs to represent squad leaders http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6120/71659049.jpg http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9003/21822776.jpg http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/1903/67960992.jpg http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1832/98501709.jpg Center: This model represents the squad's TACP (Tactical Air Control Party). http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/2345/94339570.jpg http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/4083/98749898.jpg http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2184/60360460.jpg http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/4868/39463579.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6831/43142548.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TH0R3 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 That is definitely AWESOME. Would make a great Cities of Death looking team. I want to see a whole army of this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialIssue Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 they would make an awesome Deathwatch squad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 While I'm not a fan of the uber-cluttered Marines with all the packs and gears, that Heavy Flamer must be one of the greatest representations of that weapon I have ever seen. I hope you don't mind if I steal that idea? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkle Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Great Marines, I made some myself a while back, but they're not even close to as cool as yours. Seconded on the flamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 This is really great! I always think marines without pauldrons look funky but these definitely rock the look. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nice job, brother. Looking forward to seeing some paint on these dudes. All you need now is a squad of Rangers air-assaulting out of a Land Speeder Storm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Very nice, what sort of paint scheme you going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingGriffon Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm not going to lie... when I read the topic I kind of rolled my eyes. However, I think you did a good job. Can't wait to see paint on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SincaiN Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Very nice work man .. you really pulled your idea off well. With all the extra gear on them it really make for a feeling they are ready and have whatever they need for any situation. nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nice work but I can't get over the loss and complete lack of replacement for the power plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 That's.. different. In a good way, of course. What are you going to paint them as? Mentors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDel Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 i did this same idea with catachans and some green stuff with space marine bits. it turned out pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroashram Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks for all the replies. -Crimson Fisting: I made it out of 2.5mm Round Rod from Plastruct -DirtyDel & mogluk: I started out the same. I made about 7 IG models using cadian chests and SM scout legs. I will post a pic as soon as I can. These guys came about after making a single model to represent mercenaries. It just went on from there. I was going to paint the models using these pictures as guides. Although I might substitute flat khaki brown for the multicam. http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/6134/297193.jpg http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8351/297215.jpg http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/5929/35lvlgkcopy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
