Seva Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Great work! I think an urban cammo with city bases would look really cool. Poses are good and have good motion to them. Rogue trooper looking. Awesome work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kenaz Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Wow! Your finished models are going to be pure sickness!!!! I love the look of them and some of your little touches are dead on (Like the bolter slung tight across the marines chests, etc. ) Can't wait to see them progress!!! Awesome job.

Astral Saviors Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Would really love to see those models painted. Awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Wow, very impressive. I've wondered if the bulked out chest with all the bitz could be pulled off and you did a marvelous job. I suppose if you do the OD scheme for colors, they could be Raptors. Anyway, please do carry on, these are wonderful looking. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemainus Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Dude. These are so cool. Just... they are so so cool. I cannot WAIT to see them finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M33TGRINDER Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 those models are great dude. ive always wanted to make some marines that have a modern day feel to them. i just think you need to add in a sniper or designated marksman model. maybe like a telion clone or something.

Rik84 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 there are great, looking forward to you painting them are you playing to ever make an army of these guys? would be cool to see what you would do with scouts, maybe theme them on force recon snipers?

CaptinLoken Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I like the look ... I may bring that look towards my scouts in the future... I'm loving the knee pad look the most. What bits did you arrange from? Not all of that is Guard bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpwyrm Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Wow man! Those are awesome! Like a lot of people here, I've alosothought of doing this for a while but never made the plunge. I applaud your conversion skills ;) I was wondering what are the seemingly random pieces of plasticard stuck here and there on the models? Are they mag-plate to "stick" gear on them? Anyways, I hope we can see more of you work soon, especially those scouts or a couple of the marines with paint on'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Michaels Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 nice models man i hope they get painted soon and it would be awesome if you created more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Caedrius Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Fan-bloody-tastic, Sir! Well done! Can't wait to see them all painted up! Where did all the small grey bits come from? The wee daggers and grenades and ammo packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Love 'em mate, they look damned good! I was wondering what are the seemingly random pieces of plasticard stuck here and there on the models? Are they mag-plate to "stick" gear on them? More likely to be patches, things like IR, regiment, country flag etc - or at least in real life they would be. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroashram Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 -Brother Caedrius & CaptinLoken: I used 1/35 scale military model pouches. I bought about 7 or 8 various kits and basically kept the pouches, knives, and flashbangs or smoke grenades. -Dorns_fist: I used Plastruct 2.5 mm plastic rod and cut the original barrel off of the bolter. I drilled it out and beveled the end. -Jpwyrm: Like Pulse said, they represent velcro. Operators use them on their uniforms to put their unit patches/blood types/country flags etc. If they are more covert, they can just take off them off. The little boxes on their wrists or biceps are GPS and the ones on their helmets represent IR beacons. These models I made out of SM scout legs and cadian/catachan parts. I was using the larger 40mm bases so I could have more elaborate bases. I'll probably switch them back to regular bases. I'm not sure if I like the barrels of the las guns and might cut them off and replace them with a thin plastic rod. I had originally made it like this to make it more realistic. http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5858/23059543.jpg center: I based this model on the Pointman character "Lake" in Tears of the Sun. http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2425/63386575.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4182/55827748.jpg left: this was the first model. I designed him after Kane from the Last Chancers right: Designated marksmen/sniper http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9323/88714687.jpg http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/5092/a15ae.jpg left: supposed to be holding an auspex http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9797/a14ty.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpwyrm Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hmm, not sure if SM would really use velcro on their armour... but I get what you were trying to do and I love the IR beacon idea. Those scouts look great, though I must say I'm not a fan of the "modernised" weapons. Thanks for sharing those with us, they're full of creativity and inspiration! Cheer!

ephrael Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 All the models look good so far. I am not a fan of the lasguns on the scouts unless that is what they are supposed to be. I would change out the weapon completely or at least change the barrels and clips to more closely give the impression of the weapon the really are armed with.

matchbox Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I really like the bolters. Especially the ones with forward handle gives them a really Spec Ops feel. What I would suggest for the barrels though is to do them a bit more like sergeant Telion. With a thicker silencer like tip. Just my opinion though. Nice work.

Brother Caedrius Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks for the info, I take it you were buying modern warfare style sets rather than 1/35th scale WW2 infantry and accessory sets? Scouts are looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkchild130 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I do very similar things with my marines (dont own a camera though). These are cool, and need tobe painted in Multicam. Darkchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
