Brother Christopher Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I am planning to never finish painting my Crusade start another side project, one that has bothered me for over a year. I want to make an extensive conversion (bordering on being a scratch build) of a squad of three Centurion suits. As I've said, this is something that's been a nag and I need to see whether I'm able to do such an idiotic thing, even if it means I fail miserably in the process and waste time that I could use to paint up more miniatures. The base for the conversion are going to be snap fit marines. Having said that, I'm pondering over a couple of things, but most importantly - tabards. As I will have 6 regular/original Centurions in my force, I'm thinking about adding more BT flavour to the design. I also remember that some of you posted Centurions with tabards in your WIP threads and wanted to revisit those pics for inspiration, but I can't seem to find those images. That is why I'm starting this thread: would you be so kind to post your Centurions here or provide a link to your threads? This is also an opportunity to collect images of these relatively new additions to SM armouries (and arguably clumsy models) in one place. Here are mine: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/krj_38/Neurode%20Crusade/1%202_zpsqw1lp12f.jpg Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneTrueZon Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I haven't started painting them yet, but here's my Centurion MKII suits from my thread: http://i.imgur.com/6kMk9bC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RCs3QhZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xpfq8PH.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 OOOOH Zon you gave me ideas here's mine... http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o622/Marshal_Roujakis/WIP/DSC00936_zpsmneh4pfa.jpg Although admittedly, not as bad as Zon's and only a few cosmetic changes... But the mittens had to go... that was a requirement of mine... NO MITTENS, COZ IT RHYMES WITH KITTENS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciler Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Not directly relevant but still useful, how to "true scale" centurions, as illustrated in Zon's models I believe. http://masteroftheforge.com/centurion-tutorial/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 @ TheOneTrueZon: I like the additional melee weapons you gave your Cents - because huge drills of doom are not enough. @ Marshal_Roujakis: The added gorget is pretty cool. The models look somewhat more intimidating with only their eyes sticking out. These models really gain a lot when painted black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneTrueZon Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 But the mittens had to go... that was a requirement of mine... NO MITTENS, COZ IT RHYMES WITH KITTENS! Did you sculpt the other fingers or kit bashed some power gloves in there? I might do the same with mine before I paint them. The mittens are rather ridiculous.

Eternal Warrior Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I love these. As an old school Templar player I believe it's the only way we can field devastators. But that's just my silly mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are just the regular Centurion hands, I just cut certain parts so that I can have proper fingers or in the case of the fist, I just added grooves.
