Space wolves, Death watch, Death Company, Dark Angel Veterans basically any plastic marine kit come with a ton of options and chapter specific stuff can often be removed or just add to the flavour.īuying of ebay can be a good source too, although not always cheap. The old Khorne Berzerker plastic sprues have some interesting legs which can be cleaned up to work for loyalists. One of the most challenging conversions I have seen is to make a pose of a marine firing a bolt pistol 2 handed, I never managed to recreate.Īssault marine legs on tactical marines can work for dynamic poses.
Id look at photographs of real soldiers and try and recreate their poses. Firstborn tacticals unfortunately look like they are squatting most of the time. Ive built a lot of marines in the past (pre-primaris), there is only so many poses you can make out of the stock parts and it can get a bit boring after a squad or two, mix and matching boxes is fun.
Some nice clean models here and I love a hazard stripe or two. There are also some Terminators which I stripped and repainted I like these ones because the poses I've managed to make from a pile of bits are far more dynamic than the first set of Mk.III Space Marines For those not aware of 40k lore, this is a massive civil war within the galaxy spanning imperium of mankind, the Thousand Sons although initially loyal are through a series of betrayals forced to the side of the traitors. The mixed armour types give a late heresy feel to the models. Some old and unfinished models were sacrificed in the process to recover useful parts. He will probably be used as a Praetor or Centurion/Consul when I've built enough models to get some games in.Īnd when one model came from the bits box, more would inevitably follow. I made this character model from parts in my bits box. Maybe I'll do some models in this style one day, but these I decided I base.
I like the look of the very clean, blank bases. I've now completed a few more and have even more that I'm working on.īefore basing. So a while ago I posted a few Horus Heresy test models for my Thousand Sons.
