Hellfury Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Well, It's a crappy pic, but it was taken on the fly and it shows a bit of what I am going for with my Inquisitorial themed Army using Deathwing rules. I took the apothecary bits from the command squad and used every thing except one scanner on the backpack. The apothecary version of the Caduceus was shaved off of the back pack and replaced the iconography on the Assault terminator groin gaurd. The iron halo was slightly modified, but otherwise was simply glued to the terminator hood. The cables on the reductor was replaced with plastruct plastic. The Corvus helmet had the scanner on its left side shaved off, in order to fit inside the hood. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/colorcrayons/S4010309.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/colorcrayons/S4010314.jpg So, what do you all think so far?

Thunder_god Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Most definately an interesting conversion. I have to give credit where it is due. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Braxx Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 that's a nice looking model. My only beef is with the helmet. I hate the look of those beak helmets. Can't wait to see it painted.

Starks333 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 not being a jerk as its neat, but where in the rules do they allow you to take a deathwing apothecary???, theres no option in the command squad in codex space marines, or are you ignoring the update?(using friendly permission etc) as to the actual model not a fan of the beakie head or the halo piece on top Starks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfury Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 The apothecary just counts as a standard termie with power fist/ stormbolter. At least, until the DA codex comes out...

Monkey_Feces Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 the beaky helmet just doesn't fit... i would've just used a regular termie helmet... the rest of the conversion is spot on.

tagsta Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 very nice although I think ordinary SM helmets don't match terminator suits.. I did a similar conversion a while ago.. My work was inspired by nephelim's terminator command squad... here is the apo.. still WIP http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/termi%20command%20squad/apo3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Cool! I'm going for a similar approach in my Deathwing army. I'm going to have a command squad with a Standard Bearer, Apothecary and a Company Champion. Good to see the Apothecary bitz fit with the terminator models. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwing Phil Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thas a nice conversion, I am (very originaly) planning to do a coomand squad for my deathwing as well. My only critasisms are that the iron halo looks a bit silly there, maybe beef it up with some GS or something, Also I feel comand squads should have nice dynamic poses to make them really stand out from the cound but thats only IMO. Very nice conversion, do you plan to do the other specialists in the squad? I cant wait to see the others and this one painted. Good work! ;) Raven Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeuspro Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 If you took "Purity above all" and "Sions of Mars" could you not have terminator apothicarys in normal squads?

lhg033 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 looking good! as others have said - not to sure on the beeky helmet, but thats personal taste. have made a ravenwing command sqaud doing a similar thing (as in the count a normal bikers but just look the part and my HQ joins them as an IC so it works with the rules) and have been planning on doing a DW command squad but not got round to it or thought much on how to start so thatnks for the inspiring push! lhg033 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 That's a wonderful conversion ;) . It reminds me of Nephilem's GDUK termie command squad. IMO though the beaky has to go, just does'nt look right for me.

Dammekkos Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Good work HF, though I'm not liking the beakie head. ARe they all gonna be beakies? I noticed you collecting them. I suppose it would look pretty good having a whole army of beaky termis, more uniformed, and so less awkward.

Deacoknight Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I like how you worked the Narthesium/Reductor in. It looks very seemless and looks as though it was made that way. Good job.

I suppose it would look pretty good having a whole army of beaky termis, more uniformed, and so less awkward. Thanks everyone. I wasnt convinced about the beakies either, but gave a squad the corvus kit and it does seem quite good. I was trying to steer away from the bulldog face somehow and, I do have an unnatural love for corvus afterall. I am sure even the beakie haters will be somewhat swayed once Ii post the whole shebang. Thannks again. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night-Stalker Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I'm a fan of beakieheads myself, but I think you should try to get the throat a little bit more into the torso. Right now it looks as if he had broken his neck. If you put it a little bit more into the torso it would get a more "natural" look. Also think you should use a p-fist instead of the current hand. It looks weird atm IMO. Other then that a really good job, just the painting left :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87987-terminator-apothecary-wip/#findComment-1015722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
