tombear01 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The eldest wanted a full 10 man Techmarine squad to go in his non codex marines unit so I we got what GW had and converted the rest. The lack of fancy bits fits in with his back story as does the unit itself. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/techmarinesFinished.jpg The conversion beamer came from a charity shop Space Crusade set. The flash has made them look shinier than in real life and washed out all the ink work! The rest of the reinforced company is in the reversed colours, lightened ultramarines blue with Humbrol 153 Insignia red trim. CHeers Tom PS working on a Techmarine power lifter/walker to go with based on the Space Crusade Dreadnought. Needs plenty of work including a cage for the pilot and a enlarge servo arm for the left side. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/techdread01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I like the look of the walker, looks very promising! Very clever use of parts. The squad looks nice buit at first glance, it is very...dont know what word to use. Lots of red. Like the conversion beamer, nice little touch there.

Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The squad looks nice buit at first glance, it is very...dont know what word to use. Lots of red. Yeah, maybe add some more iron/brass accents? The walker looks awesome so far - as for the enlarged servo-arm, maybe an ork power klaw? They have about the right look to 'em.

Technoscream Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm definitely interested in the walker, that looks great so far. The rest of the guys look good, but i think they could look betterwith more bionics. I'm building some similar marines in my thread (Bionic Marines Thread) so you can see that I mean.

SunThirster Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 A unit of techmarines looks awesome! should be a codex entry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Scipio Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I really like the idea of the walker. I might steel that one, would make a much better looking Techmarine in Servoharnish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is pretty much red though, hard to distinguish anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh heh, I get it. Steel. Techmarines. Heh heh. I smell an Apocalypse datasheet coming up: Might of Mars. 10+ Techmarines, 1-3 Techmarine Walkers, 0-1 Techmarine Dreadnoght.

tombear01 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 After far too long doing stuff I have got the 40K models out again and over the last couple of days I finished the Techmarine walker http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/TechMarineWalker04.jpg Its a bit rough as I'm out of practice but the lads happy with it and its out of the way now. Still need to get some bionic parts to make the rank and file a bit more techy. ATB Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellos05 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thats a great use of an old mini! Is he holding a PS3 controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombear01 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Yup that was the intention, had i been a better modeller it would have looked like a proper controller, tillted to one side, thumb hammering "fire"! If I could find a old 40K war robot I'd do a mini of it hacking down on something with a weedy little tech priest behind it in the same pose holding Wii paddles (batons? whatever they are called) ATB Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombear01 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks! since finishing that I've done what will be the Honour Guard for his librarian, he lucked out and picked up a unopend box of Grey Knights for 7 pounds at a carboot sale. Since Grey knights wouldn't fit in with his legions back story but demon fighting does we decided to use the weapons and some other bits with what was in the spares box to make up a demon hunting devastator squad. I'll flock and varnish them tomorrow. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/LibrariansHonourGuard.jpg Excuse the power swords and halbards, Ive never tried t paint them switched on before. Oh, and the middle son came home with this yesterady from a shopping trip to ASDA http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/krack.jpg krack grenade anyone?

tombear01 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 And here's a pic with their dedicated ride, to fit the lot in I rationalised that losing the side doors and riding the roof would be enough. Still needs decals and more weathering. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/LibrariansSquadComplete_zps2d5006a8.jpg%5D"]http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/LibrariansSquadComplete_zps2d5006a8.jpg][/url] And a breaching squad/assault engineers squad with FW parts, since matt varnished and with metal parts dry brushed silver. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Breachingsquad_zps305ca934.jpg"]http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Breachingsquad_zps305ca934.jpg[/url] And a autocannon squad http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Bazookoid01_zps847a0a36.jpg"]http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Bazookoid01_zps847a0a36.jpg[/url] http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Bazookoid02_zps396c86b0.jpg"]http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Bazookoid02_zps396c86b0.jpg[/url] http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Bazookoid03_zpsc6dbb03f.jpg"]http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/Bazookoid03_zpsc6dbb03f.jpg[/url] http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n503/tombearspics/AutogunnerSquadFinished_zpsbe3496b8.jpg I have no idea how to put pics up here after not posting for a few months, d'oh!
