Hellfury Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well I finished a squad of five scout snipers. I do not like the jay leno heads they provide with the kit, so I added wood elf hooded heads to it for a more stealthy feel. I used this as inspiration... http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/colo.../0102da41gc.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/colorcrayons/S4010025.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/colorcrayons/S4010010.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/colorcrayons/S4010015.jpg Whaddya think of it?

Grimdarkness Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Very cool do you have a close up of the faces? They look perfect as is but do they look like elves up close. Cool idea.

Hellfury Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 My camera is bad at extreme macro range so no, no close ups of the face. Sorry I tried. But if this helps at all they do have fine features, but then again, they actually look like they are in scale. They lack the hugeness of exageration of the normal space marine heads. This is a good thing really. No more Leno jaws. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90038-hooded-scout-snipers/#findComment-1035655 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The hoods add a very nice touch, well done :wacko: Definitely something different and it pays off very nicely.

Shinobi_soldier Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I like them, the hoods look stealthy, but kinda mexicacn luchador masks. i also like your picture background, looks like their standing on an iceberg. get them painted!!! :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90038-hooded-scout-snipers/#findComment-1035881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col.M.Veers Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Do the wood elf heads go on perfectly or does there need to be GS and cutting and the like, THEY LOOK SWEET and i might steal them if i may? :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90038-hooded-scout-snipers/#findComment-1035962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelos Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nice idea, I might incorporate somethiong like this into my scouts which are still sitting in their box :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90038-hooded-scout-snipers/#findComment-1035998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfury Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Do the wood elf heads go on perfectly or does there need to be GS and cutting and the like, THEY LOOK SWEET and i might steal them if i may? :D There is a slight gap in the neck which needs a very very small amount og GS to fill. No sculpting is really required as you cannot see the neck. Its mainly there to hold the heads on the torsoe better.

Shinohai Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 mexican luchador masks? i've never seen any that used ninja style masks. cool conversion. i dunno why the original heads all look like jay leno, and all the faces do look the same.

TheHalifax Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Those look really cool, isnt there a leaf or something covering the right side of the wood elf heads/faces? Consider that idea stolen! :D Marines looking the same is due to fluff.

Havock Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 somewhat correct, they are not all copies of each other, tigurius and calgar look quite different. And they most definately wouldn't look as retarded as the plastic marine scouts.

Quannum Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 lol......jay leno. and here's me thinking they looked like kurt russell. Q :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90038-hooded-scout-snipers/#findComment-1036196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalifax Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I think its meant to be the gene seed, it changes the marines physiology so they all begin to look like their primarch, it doesnt affect some marines as much as others though. The new marines look like their faces have been botoxed, and why isnt their any texture on the hair? I really like those hoods :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90038-hooded-scout-snipers/#findComment-1036197 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfury Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 I hear that plagerism is the most sincerest form of flattery. :) Thanks guys. The heads are plastic wood elf heads.

Hellfury Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Sorry dude, dont be too flattered. I made some with the normal plastic scouts back when I first saw that DA concept art. well over a month ago. But it doenst matter who came up with the idea, it is simply a matter of time before everyone replaces the heads on those scouts with anything more reasonable that what is supplied with them.
