Damo1701 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 After a lot of searching around the massive marketplace that is the Interwebs, I found Puppets War. A quick look through their range showed me something that I hadn't expected. That's right, a squad of 5, yes, FIVE, bikers. That, at first glance, could pass for Space Marines. The price wasn't too bad, at (before PayPal's awful € to £ exchange rate) £33(ish) plus about 100 magnets. http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae5/Damien_Smy/IMG_0566_zpsxnk2efbt.jpg http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae5/Damien_Smy/IMG_0567_zpsppd1rh20.jpg http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae5/Damien_Smy/IMG_0565_zpsm0unbuli.jpg http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae5/Damien_Smy/IMG_0564_zpso10zqedo.jpg I'm going to prepare these slowly, and begin experimenting with their compatibility with Marine parts, using blu-tack before I glue them. On the face of them, the sculpts are great, and clean-up didn't require much effort. If I can get the bits (read find) from my bits box, I'm aiming to have 2 grav, and a combi grav on these.

Damo1701 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Here's the blu-tacked kitbash for C&C http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae5/Damien_Smy/IMG_0569_zpsfdzehb9t.jpg He's the sergeant with a Combi-Grav cos, why not? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxyogi Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Do love some of Puppetswar kit, I use their stuff a fair bit myself. On your kitbash, why not use GW Marine torsos instead of the Puppetswar torsos, that is what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly will, however, I think using at least one original might be called for, in some capacity at least. Maybe just an ablative biker? I feel the original heads, while cool, are a bit small to represent Marines. Scouts, awesome, but not marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxyogi Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have found those heads look to small on a GW Marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
