Accolade - thanks and warm welcome to dakka!

Northern thats a fantastic conversion, really conveys the whole "urban sniper specialist" look. Love the use of the Yriel model too, would never have thought of that!

Great to see a whole group of talented modellers converting up mini's that have the look and feel of the GW artwork.

Bravo

Cheers,

Dante

some really nice miniatures on this log, love alpharius, i really like how the yellow pops through the blue, the sniper is a great conversion aswell, it works really well, cant wait to see more!

Thanks for the praising words people.

Coming up next is a speeder transport for my gang, but first I have to wait my FW order to arrive to get the parts.

Looking forward to see what you will do to the speeder.

Always fun to see what different people do with mostly identical bits.

Migsula, I really love the way you did the Alpha Legionaire... I like it so much that I'm working on a "God perspective marine" myself.. haven't decided on the chapter/legion yet..
I don't want to steal your idea completely..

Damn, this blog is so awesome that I just had to join... you're happy now?!

Cheers!

.........Sorry......still speechless.....

Um...WOW!!!!!

This whole thread has inspired a bunch of us to get back to the game, which we had wandered away from temporarily.

Alpharius is absolutely stunning, I had previously started work on a centerpiece model ( a White Scar Commander ), with a Terminator used for the sizing. I stalled, but seeing your work has provided me with the answer to my problem, so "Thank You"

I also went with an older style bolter, when people point out it looks smallish compared to the Marine, I point out that scale wise, a Marine is about 7'6" - 8' tall, and a bolter is only .75 calibre, pretty close to a 12 gauge shotgun.

All in all, great work, keep it up, I love having a pinnacle to strive for.

Cheers.

I only signed up to say how awesome the models on display in this thread are, and I'm gonna be keeping an eye on it for ideas to pilfer :p

So...what can we be expecting next?

That is without doubt the coolest truescale marine conversion I have seen. The final paint job is insanely good as well and I like that he isn't super spikey/death metal chaos but still looks like he could chew nails. Had to join Dakka just to tell you how blown away I am by all the cool conversions on this thread, but especially that one.

I'm trying to work out how you did the torso. Is that the terminator torso with the collar from a power armor sgt? Also what thickness of plasticard did you insert in the legs and under the feet? I feel an insane urge to do some truescale Salamanders overcoming me.

Edit: Another thought that occurs to me. By truescaling your marines for this, you can have regular humans (Inquisitors, Rogue Traders, etc.) that are wearing power armor and there will be an obvious size difference with the marines. Very cool.

Does anyone knows what happened to Migs? He hasn't been online for a week now!

On the =I=munda side note, yesterday I was a bit bored.. so I took some time to design a logo for =I=munda and perhaps even for a =I=munda site?!



C+C appreciated!

PS. I'm not trying to hi-jack this thread, I'm just sharing idea's.

Migs been to Dutch Design Week with his real life designs. Back now.

Thanks for all the comments again. What comes next is a Chaos Spawn thing, then the pyro wizard, then Sgt. Jargassor... though as you've seen, I go where the inspiration takes me, so planning is difficult.

Pfreck - great start on the logo!

It's a normal tac marine power armour torso, with gs sculpted on for thickness. I then carefully cut of a belt buckle and stomach plate and glued on.

Bleeping nice logo Pfreck!

I´ll be printing out a mini rulebook with the house rules we use, the necro core rules and the ash waste add-on (since it´s amazing and has vehicle combat).

If you´re cool with it, I´d love to use your logo on the front of that.

Also, yay, Migs is back!

You've been to Holland and didn't tell me? Curse you!!!!

Thanks! You've definitely inspired me to look at something similar, both the marine conversion and the =I=munda concept in general. Will be a bit though as my current project is about 15000 points of Eldar for Apocalypse. LOL

An =][=munda site would definitely rule! Perhaps it could include a gallery section (probably the most important aspect of =][=munda) and a "rules section" with some ways in which =][=munda could be played. If we let Pfreck do the visuals you will probably become a big hit!

@Pfreck: how are your website building skills?

Thanks guys!

Xanthos: Thanks, of course you can use the logo! It's the main reason why I created the logo!

Malika: Yeh I've done quite some websites, they usually turn up pretty good. Although it's hard to make a website that looks good in every web browser and screen resolution available. But I'll work something out!

Cheers!

I'd love to contribute to a website for =I=munda (work for a web design and seo firm by day).

Glad to see you back Migsula, how was the show?

Cheers,

Dante

Dante + Pfreck, that'd be awesome. We need to brainstorm the site a bit. I want it to be visually as inspirational as the work that we put on it. Maybe Dakka could host it for us as this is a truly dakka born craze and legoburner is such a genius for the tech side. We would also have the discussion forum already.

Show was good, parties great and then Amsterdam was awesome.


Malika, I didn't even realize your Dutch. Where about from Holland?

Just wanted to drop a post and say congrats on some gorgeous minis and (even better) starting off a craze for necromunda..or at least a necro style game.

This is truely what the hobby is about.

Now I am gonna have to pull out my old necro stuff and start converting.......

I have set up a Google Group for this kind of thing called inquisimunda. It's restricted access and you must be invited. I'd like to get everyone participating in this thread to sign up for it. If you are interested, send me a PM with your email address and I will invite you. So far, only Son of Guilliman has signed up.

Hehe, yeah I went through all my various bitz boxes looking for stuff that would work for a Necro gang/ Necro terrain, accessories, etc. I may have gone overboard but I now have a huge bitz container full of necro bits and several bags full of bits as well. I think I'm gonna try and very, very gothic take on Delaque using FW Renegade militia torsos and Empire Flagellant legs. I'm also tempted to try a few others, especially Cawdor since they were my first Necro gang ever.

All thanks to Migsula for giving me the Necro bug again.

I think they would have to pay for that since that would cost bandwidth I guess. Or you could of course have everybody put down a little bit of money and get that thing running. If you format the pictures to a relatively small size and offer people something like a pbase or photobucket account (of the site) with the pics in their true size you might be out a bit cheaper. We do something like that for the Anargo Sector Project. Well...there we have one guy offering us his bandwidth which is just amazing!

Amsterdam is overrated!!! Nah...it's a cool place to be, but only once or twice a year, it tends to get boring rather quickly.

Malika, I didn't even realize your Dutch. Where about from Holland?

Rotterdam, it's about 1 hour down south from Amsterdam, second biggest city in the country.

The fact that it isn't public is going to put a lot of people off. I think that a project such as this which is meant to be visually appealing and inspiring should be very much public, not something private which you could only view or participate in once you are invited.

I whole heartedly agree with Malika on this issue.

A =I=munda site is a great idea, I'd like to contribute to it if I can as well. (I'm still deciding on what faction / gang to do)

I'm also looking forward to that Chaos Spawn too Migs.

Honestly, I would like to make the site public, but when anybody can join there's a nasty tendency for spammers to join and start spamming the group. I suppose I can make it public, but I don't know if the google groups offer the same kind of options as yahoo groups where all messages have to be ok'd by the moderator. I'll check it out and see if they do. If they do, I'll make the site public.

Well there is of course the Groups thing, but that is more of a community thing. What I'm talking about here is an actual website. On the side of that you could of course have a forum where people can submit their stuff and ideas and what not, and then the best stuff of that gets filtered through to the website.

We do a very similar thing over at the Anargo Sector Project, we discuss our stuff on our forum and once we're happy with it we try to move it to our website. However, I think we could keep the discussions and such over here at Dakkadakka for now and still have that website.

But yeah...the stuff on the website itself can't be touched or changed by outsiders and potential spammers and everybody could still see it (which is the whole idea here), so perhaps a static website with a forum on the side might be the best solution for this.

I agree on the concept you guys are getting at. Public viewing, but no changing of stuff for non mods.

And if it ends up needing to cost money, I´m sure there´d be people willing to donate. I know I would...

I was thinking flagellants as cawdor when mixed with pig iron renegade heads.... could be fun.

I also have enough minis for a delaque gang as well as a ratskin gang.

never enough time.
