BigGumbo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Those terminators are even more awesome than the amazingly awesome Raider ^_^ Great work Elmo!

FinylCut Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Elmo9141: The Terminators are definitely worthy of riding around in the amazing Land Raider. I thought I'd commented previously on its special doors, but I fear I've been inhaling too many paint fumes as of late. They are awesome. The freehand work on the terminator helmets is also phenomenal.

Captain Semper Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Laius really looks like: "I had enough of you heretic - now die" :D As far a c&c I'd chop off the back part of the plama gun in order to make it fit a bit tighter on the mini. Other than that I love the lines on the robes and the detail on the Apothecary (red instead of green). What's the sign on Naophiel's helmet? Forgot to mention: Amduscias is made of pure win! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239000-elmos-1st-2nd-4th-and-10th-companies/page/7/#findComment-3127649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaeton Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 They are great, Elmo. Also, you work so fast... I can't work that much in a short period. Could I add some c&c? I think, terminators are lacking some shading in crevices of armor.

What's the sign on Naophiel's helmet? I was thinking about chopping off the butt of the plasma gun but decided against it at the time - it sort of fits for now but I will see if it grows on me. The helmet detail is my take on an Iron Halo but it ended up as a circle with a small line at the 4 main compass points (I was a little fed up with sword icons by this time!) terminators are lacking some shading in crevices of armor. I will give you that one :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239000-elmos-1st-2nd-4th-and-10th-companies/page/7/#findComment-3127689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Isiah: you may have to wait a little as I am going back and redoing the bright red weapons to bring them in line with the new darker red look. 3rd Squad is now complete. I am also getting rid of the squint on the 2nd Squad Sgt ;) As another improvement I have just removed all the arms from my first 4 Terminator squads - these will be magnetised along with the remaining arms from the 5th and 6th Squads to give more variety. I will also be upgrading them to the newer look of the 5th and 6th Squads and adding another 2 Cyclone MLs. Snapping off all those arms brought a little tear to the eye ^_^ After all of this is done I will be doing the last 2 marines of 10th Squad - This means that the 4th Company will be fully manned (just short a couple of Rhino/Razorbacks) In the painting queue for the 4th Company is: 5x Assault marines 3x Vindicators (does anyone have an idea how I can switch them between Vindies and Rhinos and back again - is it even do-able?)

Bryan Blaire Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Elmo, on the Vindicator <-> Rhino idea, I've been pondering something similar, but it would involve magnetizing the front plate and the side armor (unless you don't mind a Rhino with extra armor). I'm not sure how strong (or how many) magnets it would take, as I haven't started on mine yet.

Grotsmasha Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 My suggestion for the vindi to rhino is to jump on eBay and buy a spare rhino top plate, should be $10 or so. Then glue the rhino front plate to that. Leave this subassembly unglued to the chassis, all you need to do then is swap over the top plates as necessary.

elmo Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I think I might be onto a plan after playing around with the sprues last night Just need to add some magnets and sprue braces tonight - the problem may be with getting the top plate and the extra armour side plates of the Vindi to fit snuggly with the corrisponding Rhino parts. And due to the bracing, internal painting won't be an option... I will try to upload some provisional photos on Friday and if it works out I will repeat the process on the next Vindi and add it as a tutorial to my magnetising thread for the "greater good" ;) Grotsmasha: Thanks for the suggestion but I am trying to be extra mean and not buy any extra bits at all. This would solve the problem of not being able to glue the headlights onto the Rhino though :D Plus I just bought 200 2x1mm magnets for about $10 for my Terminators and I need to use the remainder somewhere :D Edit: The method I am considering would also allow the conversion into a Pred. using the same bits as my magnetised Pred. tutorial. So in theory I would only need to buy the extra sprues to have an interchangable Rhino/Razorback/Pred./Vindi./Whirlwind (how about that for a transformer) :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239000-elmos-1st-2nd-4th-and-10th-companies/page/7/#findComment-3138094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
