appiah4 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'll build my ownn BA techmarine with jumppack and meltagun, would someone advise on which head, torso, legs, arms bits would look cool? Predator gunner pads sort of seem to be a must. I also like the land raider gunner head, and the ravenwing techmarine head.. But what else? Torso? Legs? Etc..

darth_giles Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If you have one of the old BA Honor Guard boxes, there was a techmarine and a mechanicus power axe in it. Good luck, though; those are the only Techmarine bitz that I can remember off the top of my head other than the ones on the tank hatch sprue. The one from the BA Honor Guard actually used standard assault marine legs. You might end up having to do some GS work, since most of the bitz you'd need are unavailable.

Jofus Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Another good source for some bits would be the Iron Hands metal bits. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234943-making-my-own-techmarine/#findComment-2828933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Ravenwing sprue has a very nice techy helmet and shoulderpad. The Devastor box has a nice large helmet, too. In the Devastor box you can also find a Rocket launcher backpack that can be easily cut and rearranged to form a single servo arm, like below: EDIT: Just read jumppack, so forget the above XD Apart from that, search the WiP area for scratchbuilt or kitbashed Techmarines, you'll find plenty of inspiration there.

Doghouse Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Nice work on that servo arm! The best way is to use the techmarine torso from the vehicle sprue or the Storm Raven kit and the techmarine head from the Raven Wing or SR sprues.

Brother Gorath Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 For Mechanicus specific bits heres what I've found: Vehicle Sprues - Torso and shoulder pad Ravenwing sprues - Mechanicus Helm with cog targeter Storm Raven driver - Torso, shoulder pad, and targeter helmet, and knee pad for a nice press mold For Mechanicus looking bits: Assault Sprue - power axe that can easily be converted into a cog axe with a small bit of plasticard Tactical sprue - Tubed torso Chaos Marines box - Ornate plasma pistol (no specific chaos markings) and servo skull Devastator sprues - missle launcher backpack can go towards a good servo arm and at least one targeter helm Commander Box - Bionic arm with chainsword Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234943-making-my-own-techmarine/#findComment-2829595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
