Technoscream Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I've not worked out my fluff properly yet, but im working on a chapter which will have buckets of bionics and servo-arms gallore. they'll be led by a Master of the Forge. Here's the first tactical squad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zincite Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Very nice! If this is what the Tacticals look like, then I look forward to seeing your MoTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Bars Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Are they going to be painted like a certain first founding chapter thats fond of bionics? Looking forward to your next instalment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 probably something like this :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Tiberus Satio Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 are the servo arms not going to have a bottom lip? Looks like it will just be a slap fight if they use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olgerth Istaarn Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Very cool! Martian Marines perhaps? Also good to see that someone else is doing the "repurposed ML loading arm" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technoscream Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Glad you guys like them so far. Yes the master of the forge will hopefully be something special, here are two MoTFs I have built in the past (they are not part of this army & have long been sold): The servo arms with the chain blades will not be getting a bottom lip as its simply not needed, they are just a cutting tool equivalent to the marines combat knife. These are just tactical marines, so I dont want to give them anything that would make them appear not to fit their in game rules/stats. No Iron Bar, I dont plan to paint them as Iron Hands, im pretty sure im going to use a dark(ish) blue armour with metallic trim ....so somewhere inbetween Iron Hands and Ultramarines actually. I need to keep the scheme quite simple as im a much better modeller than I am a painter. Yep Olgerth Istaarn, I have re-purposed a couple of the missile arms, but soon ran out, so most of those are scratch built. I like the end product, but its a lot of work for such a tiny thing!

BassWave Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Whoa, very nice! Could you show us how you did the servo arms? And the conversion beamer on the second MotF? Can't wait to see more :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olgerth Istaarn Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 What is the ickle tank that the first MOTF is riding on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see more Servo arms are litterally scratch built from plasticard, I just roughly replicated the shapes found on the servo arm from the missile devastators back pack. The conversion beamer is easy, its a Multi-Melta devastator arm/gun + the fuel canistor from the battle for macragge starter set, plus some wire/tubes. What is the ickle tank that the first MOTF is riding on? It's kit bashed from tracks that I 'borrowed' from a robogear model, with a chasis I made from 40k parts including a rhino side door, and an ammo box. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcher in the Dark Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Awesome looking stuff man! My DIY chapter is gonna have a VERY similar flavor and I'm really liking the servo arms that you have scratch built and everything. Impressive stuff!

Capt. Kenaz Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Great looking wokr there! I have been working for a long time on a Steel Confessor's army and you have a good feel for the whole bionic look. I really like the bionic thighs and other leg pieces you have made from scratch. How did you get them to look so good. I have always had real problems cutting and gluing such small white plastic tubing. What's you secret???

What's you secret??? ...Pactice I guess :) I do a lot of of scratch building and converting with plasticard, so I'm quite comfortable with it. I hope to get some decent tools soon, so I can make more accurate cuts than just with my hobby knife/razor saw, and then i should be abel to build some pretty neat models!
