Enzephalon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hello Gentlemen,It's been nearly two years since I actually painted something.Finally I picked up the brush again to finish the remaining 7 close combat scouts I had.They have been built using the parts of the landspeeder storm crew.Hope you like them.http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681592_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681604_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681600_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681601_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681599_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681595_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681590_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681593_md-.jpghttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681597_md-.jpgHere's a shot with the whole family. I think they are fairly similiar, given that it's been two years since I painted the first batch (besides the base, but I will do some clean up)http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/24/681594_md-.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Bob Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I like them a lot. Very well painted and most of all dynamic. Is quite a feat considering the kit. Awesome job really. Did you cut and repose or there are some bits coming from the Land Speeder Storm scouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 +1 for the 'Doom' style helmets from pigiron. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzephalon Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 The kit sucks, you are right. The static poses and the "Wayne Rooney" bare heads were not very appealing. There was a lot of cutting and application of green stuff involved. I used all the parts of the landspeeder crew, even the pilot and the gunner.

Ovidius Incertus Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Really love the two guys posed as reloading. Do you have more pictures of the one reloading the bolt pistol? I'd like to see what arm you used to have him reaching to his belt pouch. Did you cut his whole elbow section out and replace it with GS? Also like the pose of the guy jumping over the terrain. I've got a bunch of scout bits and the crew of a Storm lying around, so this is inspirational! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's only one guy that is reloading his bolter, the other one grabs his knife which can't be seen from that particular angle. I used the regular arm of the landspeeders' gunner IIRC and attached the blade of a knife to his fist. I'll try to upload another picture this evening. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Pig Iron Doomguy helmets eh? Nice. I really like Pig Iron helmets, but I feel the Doomguy helmets are a bit too squat.. My favorite are the HD1815, they fit the SM aesthetic better IMO. That said, very nice execution. I hope you don't mind, I edited these into my post about alternative Scout helmets here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302024-scout-head-alternatives-this-might-work/?p=3921431 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your thread. It's a valuable source for those who need to build some scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Mortifer Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Awesome job mate. Really hoping they upgrade the current kit soon, especially seeing as our Troop choices went down at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
