Excellent work - very accurate!

ive never played the game and i can tell where its from. nice job so far. also i find it kindda weird that the tau rifle seems at home on a SM looking mini

looks great, maybe in regards to the tau rifle, prehaps greenstuffing it to smooth it over, give it an extended barrel (so it looks at least somewhat like a sniper weapon) and chop the tau sight off and fix a SM one and i think it would look perfect for a gears model

the model is well thought out though, can't wait to see a squad

That looks markably close, good effots!

If you are looking for a model to base the copter off of, go and find a suitably scaled Hind Helicopter, it looks a lot like the one in the picture. Shouldn't be too hard to convert it to your needs.

Note the model isn't mine though I have a smaller version myself.

Alright. I now have Marcus (see pic), Dizzy, Dom, Kim, Cole, Baird, Carmine, Hoffman, & Tai done...Now for some super fine conversion trimming, green stuff, and so on...I also figured out how to make a Reaver!

Looks great so far! The bolter looks like it should be a little closer to his hand though... Aside from that, I can't wait to see the guy painted up!

I'm now picturing a Locust made the same way but with a Genestealer head and Ork arms.
Nice conversion, but I agree with ZamboniKNight about the bolter handle, 99MDeery with the rifle.

Always wanted to try something like this, I'll have to see how this turns out.

I have just bought a variety pack of Pig Iron heads to do my own variant SM army.

The heads are just about the right size -- maybe very slightly smaller than the standard SM helmets though this would not notice once the entire army was done.

The main problem is the SM heads have a bigger neck bobble which makes them rise higher out of the torso. This can be solved by seating the Pig Iron head on a blob of Milliput

Some one needs to make a locust army to vers yours I think orks would be the best option.

Oh my god dude! Nice, this will help me build my own army of cog, but I might stretch the rules in customing them than to you. You should put up photos of the other guys in your cog army.
I'm currently working on a harder project, involving making the Brotherhood of Steel from the Fallout franchise. I'll put up updates on my topic if you're interested.
By the way I agree with some of the people, definitely make a locust army, put in some grinders and boomers for heavy attack.
Nice work!

hey man that is sweet where did you buy all of you seperate bits because i am thinking of converting up the locust army cause it is such a cool idea.

wow! Lookin pretty good this far, i hate how everyone nowadays converts his rifles to look more like the GOW ones...still nice worK!

Very cool man! Can't Wait to see the rest of the Army.

See ya, working on a zerg tyarnids army
