heres my terminator version

Is that a belly button?

I believe it is

it is now

Damn, that was so obvious. Leave the front of the upper part of the egg and insert a termihead. *Smacks forehead*

Although I do think you should have shortened the blade, and maybe made the gun a bit smaller in some way.

Ya the swords a little big>

Some one has to find fluff for the mini marines like the angry marines or something (also where can i find the original fluff for angry marines?)

Steelmage, I am loving that grey knight!!

I also thought of leaving the front shoulder pad / visor off, but I think it makes the dimensions look a little odd... still a good idea, though

maybe if you put 2 bolt pistols together to make the mini-termi's stormbolter it wouldnt look so big.


Centurion.

I just realized that rhinos are the right size for space marines now!

The Grey Knight wins the thread...

grey knight wins for sure...

and while the execution is kind of middle of the road, terminator takes a close second...

good work guys

I swore i'd never do marines when i recently restarted this hobby. Now i'm really really tempted to make a kill team of those lil guys lol. using the terminator method how do tactical marines look? i'm thinking cult marine heads instead of the "face" of the egg

Definately need to use one of the older stormbolters without the ammo box attached.

Haha I love that idea. Creative and cute models. Might try making some sometime to annoy my space marines exclusive playing friends.

Fluff!!!
The tiny marines:
The tiny marines come from a mutated geneseed that only produced babies. While their bodies stayed as infants, their mentality matured as normal. This was seen as an oppertunity to have stealthy, small troops to go behind enemy lines, but how? It would have been too costly to fit power armor , so a brain storming session was formed (by bribing everyone with cookies) and the idea came up that the shoulder pads from power armor could be used to make a protective shell, and thus Egg armor MK1 was created. With bionic limb enhancments so they could actually move and hold their weapons.

Or it could be ratlings being turned into space marines .

The fluff begs to differ, haha. There babies!

Your both wrong. Its the return of MALAL!!! AAHHHHHH!!!!.......... hey someone had to say it

bloody ridiculous! I'm making one!
gretch termis!

Nice job, MM . Did you consider tilting the shoulder pad up and keeping more of the arm intact? Or is having the disembodied hand the only practical way to go? All but one of the conversions have gone the "disembodied" route, and the one that didn't had zoomed out pics so I couldn't see if it was feasible.

The arms will definitely have to be cut down... I'm just wondering if there's any way they could lead "into" the shoulder pad, rather than be attached to it.

Is it possible to tilt the bottom of shoulder pad up/forward, to make more room for a possible arm?

You know, I looked at it... and I just prefer the disembodied hands. I mean, really, the thing is nothing but pure comedy, and there's a certain comedic aspect with disembodied floating hands. Same thing for legless "feet" that you can't see from behind (since the shoulder pad/foot is hollow). I just take it as part of the charisma of the model.

Personally, I LOVED the armored grot earlier, but I wouldn't cover the open spaces (feet/arms) on ANY if the chibi-marines, if it was me. I just take it to be part of the model.

@ Grey Knight:
Spectacular. Love it.

@Terminator
Seriously cool.
Could it have been done with terminator pads, filed/trimmed as necessary, so that it was appropriately larger?
Also, I LIKE that the weapons were full sized.


Requests... I'd like to see the following chibis, if anyone's up to it:
Marneus Calgar
Librarian
Abbaddon
Maybe Kharne ? I almost made a Khorne helmet on my chibi, but I was in too much of a hurry. (extra points if you manage to work in the real Kharne head)
Typhus
Techmarine


Love this thread, guys!

i just did kharn,but without the real head(but almost looks the same ^_^

heres the first one i made

Grey Knight was sweet can't wait to see an army of the mini marines.

@ RiTides
actually they are terminator shoulder pads apart from the feet as i thought the would be bigger as far as the weapons go i do think the sword is a little big but the whole thing was a quick throw together while i was watchinga movie

I <3 that Grey Knight. I should try and make a Biker...

thatwould be epic win.

Especially if you build the bike out of shoulderpads ^_^

But that would some kind of tactical geni-*Gets backhanded*

Must...do...this...

A lot of Bitz websites sell the few pieces needed for cheap, so I am thinking I might.

Wonder what these would look like as Assault Marines...

On a side note, this might make for a cheap Kill Team option, hehe. Just beg for spare Shoulder Pads from my friends and scrounge up bits to make a Tac Squads worth.

i almost glued a jumppack to one of them XD

I'm loving these. Here's my ChibiMarine attempt. Anyone fancy a community voted competition for most original Chibi? Could have some fun with these. I'm still trying to think of a way of Chibi-ing some Orks...
