I really do prefer this style of Marine upsizing. Seemingly keeps everything in proportion, if not more so. Whilst personal I'm for more understated shoulder rims, the overall effect of this build is impressive. Thanks for your time in posting your WiP, it's been a great read and good guide for developing my own idea based on this format. I intend to experiment on the chest piece too myself.

Question though, you used the Terminatior arms alot, is this a preference or a necessity? Do standard marine arms not work well in this technique?

Chuckle.. fair points Apologist. I see where you are coming from. I'll try both styles and post results soon. Thanks for the pointers too Malika.

As for your recent images, the modified Dreadnaught.. impressive.

I do like the commentary though, "Here is one posing, one with some friends...and one, killing Heretics"..cracked me up.

On that note the Mechanicus styled marine is nicely done.

Migsula's would be fractionally taller, due to the styrene inserts within the shin armor. Apologist's are straight bulk. There some serious marine meat on these Ultramarines. Also, the artistic direction varies the results. I've personally taken various cool inspirations from both styles
