tyranicalpuma Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 So as the title states, I got bored. Working on grey knights and my exorcists (black templars but you know what ever) got a bit tedious. So I decided to try to integrate one of my favorite things with another. So I decided to start building marines based off of my favorite super heros. I figured it could be alot of fun throwing in random heros as HQ or elite choices in my other armies. So here is my number one Captain (or rather Chaplin) America. http://i.imgur.com/uNvt1.jpg As for different angles, that could get tricky. My phone likes to shut off after each picture I take. Wooh, fun and junk. C&C would be awesome! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264508-i-got-bored/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhart Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Very nice great conversion! You going to paint him red white and blue Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264508-i-got-bored/#findComment-3222831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranicalpuma Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thank you! Yeah the red white and blue will find it's way to cap here at some point as well as a chest star and the shield. I've been debating adding a big obnoxious American flag banner (since IMO all banners just draw major attention thus making them all a bit obnoxious) but I'm really not sure. I will try to get a few different angels of him as well as pictures of the worlds greatest archer at some point tonight.

EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hahaha great idea mate, Im gonna be keeping an eye on this.

Sentinalsam87 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 World's Greatest Archer? oh you mean Green Arrow right? I mean Arsenal is debatable but I'm going with Green Arrow. Gotta mean Green Arrow. (cause Hawkeye blows, like most of Marvel) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264508-i-got-bored/#findComment-3223271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranicalpuma Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 So because of my bull-:cuss phone I was only able to get one other picture of Cap unfortunatley it isn't a flattering angle. http://i.imgur.com/9dt8k.jpg Because of my love of character backround and a mostly coherent and consistant storyline most of my favorites are Marvel. So as promised here is my Hawkeye. http://i.imgur.com/DKkZH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9UMc8.jpg But Sentinal, Green Arrow and the Bat are both probably going to make an apperance at a later date. Next up (mostly because Sandy doesn't want me to goto work or leave the house ;) ) is the God of Thunder himself. Lets not make this a comic book discussion (barring relevance to the minis) 'cus we are all here to praise or scorn the emperor not marvel/dc.

tyranicalpuma Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 So between playing with the kids and last minute storm prep, I managed to bust out Thor. I know the hammer isn't all that accurate but a brick on a stick is boring. So I went a bit more warhammer-y 'cus you know, dwarves made it and stuff ;). http://i.imgur.com/OBdZI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/clbyJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8ymFD.jpg Next up will be the hulk I think 'cus I'm not sure how I want to do ironman. Please throw some suggestions my way for poses and equipment. I'm debating making him a techmarine. After I have a five man squad I will start dumping paint on them haphazardly and hope for the best.

Sentinalsam87 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hulk should be a dreadnaught, and Iron man should be either a Terminator or Techmarine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264508-i-got-bored/#findComment-3223886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranicalpuma Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Not much of an update but I was building a bit tonight and went with a pa marine for the hulk (once I get a box of assault terminators there will be a second hulk). I'm going with a tech marine/MotF for iron man but can't really work out a streamlined servo harness so he isn't all crazy bulky. Pictures tomorrow.

EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hulk as a Dreadnaught is an awesome idea, would have great to have seen that! As a matter of interest, how are you bulking out a Power Armoured Hulk? - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264508-i-got-bored/#findComment-3225358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranicalpuma Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm really glad you mentioned that Ego,upon further inspection of the hulk during breakfast, I realized that I defiantly need to use a sanguary guard torso. I'm also going to throw on some of the biggest shoulder pads I can find. Possibly the layered looking ones from the command squad sprue (I forget what mk they are). http://i.imgur.com/9u4Pm.jpg Since the hulk is a long time favorite of mine, I'm defiantly going to do him as a termie and a dreadnought since it would be awesome. Also, giant man as a dreadknight would be pretty amazing as well. I'm not completely sold on ironmans helmet. Since I'm going with marines based off superheroes not the otherway around it might work. http://i.imgur.com/QrnwH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SXBKG.jpg Still not sure about ironman or his servo harness.

RipherChost Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Regarding Iron Man, I would drop the servo harness, change the helm and shoulder pad or make him into War Machine. For Iron Man I would maybe include a wingless sanguine angel jump pack and go for a sleek look... and you should make both of them :D But this is awesome, I have had simular thoughts running through my mind. So far I have only done a Bane. Avengers are high up on my list of to do characters and Hulk would be be great as a terminator or perhaps an iron clad dread.

tyranicalpuma Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Warmachine is defiantly in the next batch but as a MotF w/ conversion beamer. My one thing is I want to keep them wysiwyg and fairly accurate so I think unfortunately Mr. stark is going to have to be a bit bulked out. Oh and padawan, I hope to have a few renditions of the hulk since he is awesome Thanks guys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264508-i-got-bored/#findComment-3232637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranicalpuma Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 So since I had Brother Banner planned, here he is in his power armour http://i.imgur.com/gkPWm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tNCst.jpg I defiantly feel like this is a better pose. Now to put paint on them. The next batch still needs to be figured out but I have a few clues... 1. The worlds greatest detective (easy!) 2. The man without fear (again, easy) 3. Heros for hire (which one? Both? Current or 70's?) 4. SPOON! (how many 90's kids and older do we have out there?) Branching out from Marvel might just make this project even more fun.
