Roma Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 ***warning, this section is EXTRA HERETICAL, prepare to be purged (right after snoo-snoo with an Ogryn.*** everyone is constantly infuriated by the lack of plastic sob models, but wouldnt space marines be great sob? All the equipment is there, then you can just plonk a female head of some kind instead of a helmet and voila. Sure the space marines are too big, but "small girl in big armour" has aesthetic appeal, have a look at the/google "bombardier bombshell" model as an example. For making them look female, you could model breasts, but its un-necessary since the suit is big enough to accommodate anything. Putting unrelated heads could work, along with feminine paint schemes if you are willing to lose a bit of grimdark.

Fibonacci Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 GC08 did something similar with scouts and made a nice looking and believable army. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265942-gc08-scoutsisters-themed-army/ If you have some fitting female heads it would look pretty cool as well.

*Furyou Miko Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Nothing stopping you acquiring the plastic heads (helmeted and not) from the Immolator sprue and using those. Please note that I in no way endorse recasting or use of substances such as Instant Mould.

Dusktiger Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 to make it easier to do the sisters in power armour look, has anyone looked at meow meow minis' store? theyre now selling female space marine scaled legs/torsos/heads/shoulder pads to do this. you just need the normal arms, guns, backpacks and bases to finish the model. there's a plain "boob'd" torso, one with the imperial eagle (it would be my preference), and an assault marine's strapped torso variant. there's also a packs of static, charging, and kneeling legs. the kneeling legs can also be bought in packs of 5 for those that like doing heavy weapons teams in the careful aiming pose. the head options are nice, but i dont like the ascetic of the helmet heads; looks too much like the one character in Berserk. here's the link for anyone interested in taking a peek: http://www.meowmeowminis.com/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276491-female-marines-aka-plastic-sob/#findComment-3394757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 No, those look awful. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276491-female-marines-aka-plastic-sob/#findComment-3394905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I think the main reason for wanting plastics is more about a good codex or just getting one period. I think good things are on the horizon with the fast releases now coming and most committed SoB players are willing to wait. So while we wait, we hope, dream and talk about what we would like in hopes that someone at GW is reading our posts. But this, of course, is just my humble opinion.

thade Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Personally I want plastics primarily for the dramatic increase in conversion options it would afford us.

In my day plastic tacticals came in four varieties, trooper, flamer, missile launcher, and sergeant, and we liked it. You kids today and your newfangled multipart kits, bah!

*Furyou Miko Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Heh, even I remember those. Still have some. Anyone else getting a little suspicious that we're going to get out codex one unit entry at a time through these Munitorium e-releases? Might explain why they didn't float our codex as an official pdf.

Mith Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The thought did occur - that said, if it means there's a chance, however slight, that we'll get updated rules for specific units, I'll render unto Caesar.

*Furyou Miko Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We were talking about Sisters re-releases so it seemed an appropriate place to put a post theorising our codex woes. GW have started releasing 0.99p e-booklets on their digital store for Android, Kindle and Idocs or whatever the apple thing is called, each focussing on a single aspect of 40k - for example, at the moment they're doing Eldar wargear and Dark Angel characters. For 0.99p you can have an ebooklet detailing the history, fluff, and game rules of... a Banshee mask, for example, or a Shuricat, or Asmodai.

Maybe GW is planning on "bullying" lexicanum down so they can do a version of their own, 99p per article.

Eddie Orlock Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 For years people have asked for 'looseleaf sheets' to update their codices, maybe this is that? I'd be ticked off if it was essential and only digital though, I very strongly prefer my minigaming to be tangible and 'low tech'. Folk who bring their tablets to the table tick me off, it's so much more difficult to have a cross referenced rules conversation on a tablet than it is with tangible books and 'digital people' invariably haven't studied enough and get it wrong.
