Jofus Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 To me there are two ways to do Ultramarines, very standard/codex or add the Roman/Greek bitz to them. Its pretty easy to find examples of Space Marines with the extra bitz added onto them, but I haven't seen any Scouts other than standard scouts with a few bitz swaps that just make the model look more aesthetically pleasing. Other that changing any close combat weapons to gladiuses I can not really think of anything else. Does anyone have suggestions?

Jofus Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Your scouts are the ones that I have seen, space marine bodies and pig iron heads. Or maybe it was someone else using the heads.

Cptn. Palladorus Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It's not a particularly Greco-Roman look, but I've always really like the old school plastic scouts, as seen on the cover of Advanced Space Crusade, as well as here, here, here, here, and a bit converted here. I've got 19 of these bad boys stashed away waiting for a fresh coat of paint, but I've always wanted to make some in this style out of the new plastic scouts too.

Kierdale Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 If you want to Rome-them up then perhaps GS some new haircuts, or add some legionnaire-like armour. Strips-of-leather loincloths. Look to history for some inspiration.

Jofus Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 I can wait a few weeks, I am just in my planning phase and saw I had 2 boxes of the sniper scouts. Other than head swaps I don't have anything for them yet.
