hi people,

looking to make some marines with bare arms.

i know that imp guard are to thin and that orks are to large. any way to cut them to look less outta place. or am i best just going with my friends idea and green stuffing a load of arms using the hands from the space marines arms and bluking up imp guard arms.
been sat on this idea for a year now, as others attempts have put me off.

would love pic of others attempts or advice.

smaller than the orks arms ?

looks like they will need chopping and repinning to be used as gun arms.
tho they are on 40p a hit so might buy some from a tester.

thank you everyone for your help.
a big thank you werewolfhunter for the photo that shows me the sizes are right its just a case of pinning them to hold a bolter.
i have another question if anyone is up for answering it. i am a lazy converter, so if i want my whole army with bare arms i think ill make 2 or 3 variants and make resin copies. anyone reckomend a good starter resin/mold kit.

thank you mastiff,

this is the exact right size. i notice the ork arm on the far rght model, looks that tad to big
the only othe problem i can now see is gettting them away from the two weapons layout they have atm and pinning them in the weapon mounted position.

still great pic

the affect im thinking of going for is a blend. ill use catachan arms for the troops and the marauder arms on the assault squads

hoping my army might look somthing like white dwarf no. 304 pg 65 ' the fists of the damned' by christian cavonios
