Hey first time useing green stuff for more than filling stuff.
this is gona be the team leader for my alpha legion group which includes a scout and a sniper so far.

hes got a pimped out bolter for hi right hand and his left arm is gona be bionic like his leg.
the heads a little small but he's going to have a shemagh over his head . still more to do on him but any feedback will be great..

i'd give him a bigger head as even those with gigantism have proportionally large skulls. cool start.

Must. Not. Look. At. Avatar


Really great sculpt, looks promising

Looking good so far man!

Not a bad start at all! Allthough i agree with warboss, he realy does need a bigger head.
Other than that, looks gr8!

I agree with the others he needs a bigger head but apart from that its great!

I'd say a regular guardsman head would look too small even on a normal marine.
Otherwise, great sculpt

Wheres his penis?

^That's what I thought! lol

It's kept in the same vault as GI Joe's, He-Man's and Elmo's.

But well done for the comment, you can go to the head of the class son. No more short bus for you!

You mean he's wearing unremovable plastic underwear

I LOL'd.

Nice stuff so far!

Hopefully he'll armor up soon, so people can... relax!

Tiny head make marine angry! Marine smash!

Great work

Was doing a concept sketch the other night and was confused on the prproportions for the head.
Is the cranium also enhanced and enlarged when the brain gets washed?

good start with the GS
good luck with the project!

I'd say that the reaper 'Heroic armatures' would be a pretty good fit for this cause:

really grate start. I'm looking forward to see him finished and fully painted

Hey thanks for all the feedback.
I was playing around with a load of heads last night and just couldnt find one that was bigger that didnt make him look like rocky dennis {google it}
so i have stuck with the first one as i know the head would grow i bit whith gene seed but it still wouldnt be huge.
and as he has a shemagh over it this helps alot.
I got fed up with the bionic arm just couldnt get it to look right so i ditched it . in "legion" the alphas are described as wearing body gloves with mail over the top
so ive taken mail to meen scale as well as "chain" so have given him a gladiator style scale arm with alpha chains on it and a chain serpent on the vambrace. and a brutal looking chainsword.
he now has his custom silenced bolter which i have pimped out with a drum mag and holographic sights and a colapsable stock. [12 parts in all !}.
As for his load out ive kept it simpler than the humans with just grenades and amo {no need for water and rations here !} and finished it of with a serpent headed belt buckle.
So let me know what you think and as soon as i get some more greenstuff im gona work on the heavy weapons dude....

he looks like little red riding hood with that bonnet over his head; i'd get rid of it. nice sculpting work with the arms though.

good so far, perhaps bolster the head further with some goggles on top?

I quite like the hood.

It looks awesome, shame aout the head though, Its kinda bulked up by the hood and it doesn't look that small anymore

Verry nice, and fluff friendly! That's actually what a Scout is supposed to be! May i also say that Space Marines have no penises, there genetically mutated to be Super Warriors, I mean no ones a Super Warrior if they cant take a good ol' kick in the Groin .

Very nice!

Looks pretty good- but I still think that the head could do with bulking out a bit.

I like the small head. I know they are wearing Power armour but if you look at a lot of the artwork, they have bulky legs, chests and shoulders, with only marginally larger heads.

Having a small head gives the appearance that they aren't just larger humans but that their muscles have been enhanced more than their overall height.

All the fluff ive read has said that the added muscle mass looks unnatural and i think the head adds to this.
he is the same scale and build as my nathanal garro and other conversions useing termi legs and power armour chests.
as for marines not haveing a penis how do they pee ? why are ther groins armourd ? and if ever taken one in the plums you will know its not ur cock that hurts .
and i was trained to aim for the bit just behind ur balls anyway as it will drop anyone lol

they need not to pee poo or cry, they have no emotion, they can last weeks without food, they are SPEEHS MAREEHNS and the groin is common sense, why are there legs armored and hands armored, a bullet always hurts!

also garro was a kickass character

Fantastic so far, but I like the idea that someone said above with adding goggles, it'd definitely help bulk the head out a little and IMHO look darn cool!

Well after a crap week ive got this bloke 50% painted .but the batts on my cam have gone so will post pics up monday.
also ran out of green stuff so have orderd up 72" of it which should keep me busy.lol
now just gota decide what to arm my next un armourd marine with been thinking a striped down hvy bolter ?
also im gona add a squad of IG vets . im gona use a sqd of elysians but change the heads over and re sculpt the armor so they look more like these pics below
so let me know what you think......

sounds sick

Agree with 4M2A

The size of the head would not be bulked out during the Marinisation process. Surely the only change cranium wise would be the change from bone to ceramatite
(apologies for the inevitable mispelling.)
