Beautiful work ZandrisIV I wish I had done my female marines more like yours, they would have looked a lot better. 10/10

**Paul Atreides**

I'll go with the gang who wished they had said what Luna said. It's not exagerated and still has a very feminine Air about it.

Grand work there.

Omg, i was half asleep when i saw the picture. FEMC , she is a Fatima!

**Aranan**

This is infintely better than scupting giant boobs on power armor.

Love the truescaling, the marble base, and the freehand work.

**Mastiff**

That's beautiful work there. The freehand and tight colour scheme are amazing. I like the weight and proportions you've given to her, and a great choice of heads.

Thanks for sharing this!

**LunaHound**

Incase people are confused about the proportion and small boobs , here are some pics
of why they are so slender.

**Wolf**

This model is truly fantastic, exactly how i would envision female SM, ignore the losers that hate the model because they are desperate to seem breats on minatures.

And i must say that paint job is superb ! I would realyl like to see a comparison photo to a normal SM.

FEMC 14 (XIV) is Sharie Randers Krotenschwanz, she's one of the headdliners, not a Fatima. If you remember the story, she's the one that chopped off her arm to resign from the Mirage Knights. Thinking of it, FSS really has lots of similiarities with 40k, what with God Emperors, supermen and some poor bloody regular humans trying to get by without getting instantly annihilated.

**Clockwork**

Beautiful stuff there, I think it looks better then most of the "standard" female SM models. Hell someone on BnC made a SoB that looked convincing without the "Boob" factor. Good style you have there too with the painting, I wish I was that perfect.

The greatest thing about the model is that the user (Doctor Thunder) who put breasts on his marines (Let's not go into discussing the merits of that. I quite liked the army, though) has given this model praise.

Also, I quite like the model that this thread was created for.

1. Hands are too big. Same size as her head.
2. Waist is way to thick for being a woman.
3. No room for boobs. Armour has to have a differend design to accomidate breasts.

1. Try putting on some gloves. Notice how big your hand gets? Now put on another glove on top of that. See how much bigger your hand is now? Now imagine your hand encased in a half inch of armour.
2. Thin waists are on bodybuilders. Those with true upper body strength (i.e. weightlifters) are built like barrels. I fail to see why a space marine should be any different. And even if the waist was slimmer than that of a regular marine, why compromise on armour?
3. As I've mentioned before, even if there were boobs left, they would be covered up under the armour anyway, ergo the modifications are unseen. However, if you do insist upon titmarines, then I would suggest googling or searching this forum for some of Doctor Thunder's Black Widows. The "modifications" would suit your taste much more I believe.

Thank you for the kind comments otherwise, but I just wanted to set things straight.

P.S. Do Mauleed and Yakface know you're using their names?

Extra edit: The under-armour may be form fitted, but you have the plates on top which can be molded to whatever shape you need. See modern day spacesuits with multiple layers, or even old plate armour with the form fitting undergarments. And thank you for bringing in art class anatomy. Please, do have a look at Space Marine armour, and tell me if you can fit a regular human in there. There is a reason all those cosplay space marines look goofy as hell. I took artistic license to make the chest and torso wider, and used a small-ish head on the figure to give the impression of hulking armour, sure, I could have kept the torso slimmer, but the style of marine armour does not lend itself to that look, and it would be really odd. Now I can understand where you are coming from if you were talking about say.. Eldar miniatures, since they have closely form-fitting armour, but for Space marines, this isn't the case.

1. I could put on five pairs of gloves and they would not be bigger than my head. Hell I've had hockey gloves that were not bigger than my head. Nice try on th at one.
2. If you are telling me that the model you have is a weightlifter than her head is way to thin and delicate. Weightlifters as you so call them do not have small heads. They also still comply with the shoulder to hip ratio. It's called a skeleton.
3. Modifications to armour would not be unseen. To make armour fit correctly it would always be modified.

LOL on the name.

Extra Edit You can not take a space suit and compare it to combat armour. A space suit is not going to stop a regular bullet as a regular bullet bounces off Space Marine armour. Also the use of each as you can plainly see are two different things. As for your form fitting comment. A womans form could never fit into the armour you have made. The arms are way to long. The hips are way to narrow. The head to small for the form inside the armour.

Again great job on the paint job. One of the best I have seen on here. Your base is freaking awesome and I have not seen someone do that before. I'm awestruck at your painting ability.

I however will not be feed BS about how a woman looks in power armour. Even if the space marine armour is not form fitting there is no way a woman would fit into the armour you made.

**Atrapos**

Wow, this is a truly fantastic mod and paint job. Great work

MauleedlovesYakeface wrote:<snip>ENDLESSRAGE<snip>

Can't we all relax, you probably couldn't fit all those organs in a human body to make a space marine to begin with anyway. There just wouldn't be enough blood for them all. We could nip pick at everything here, but you have to face it, the model looks good and it looks (as far as most 40k models are concerned) within the legitimate parameters for reasonable proportion.

Looks fine to me...

How exactly does a woman's skeleton look after she's been impanted with the Ossmudula?

(I do think the thighs are too small, but I have that problem with most space marine models. All things considered I think it looks pretty good.)

**lalabox**

Looking at the unpainted picture, the unarmored model would have to have breasts the size of small moons for there to be any need to visibly alter the armor. And not all female in armor have to have boobs sculpted onto their armor in the same way that Greeks had sixpacks sculpted onto theirs. (Ceremonial breasts?)

Its hard to say really , it all comes down to style over practicality .
You can either feminize with more closely fitting armor and add lots of curves

or thats like saying male marine armor should be like the michelin tire mascot ( yes extreme example , but hope you see what i mean )

**LiterateWolf**

GW should hire you.

**jp400**

LoL...
sorry but I laughed a little at some of the comments here.

Really well done model. Dont change a thing about it.

**Sersi**

Very nice model, I love everything about it. She reminds me of Samus though.

**jamessearle0**

ooh well painted definately and grey stuff is okay but i cant tell what parts exaclty are converted, besides the upper legs? and the waist?
put definately a sweet model

mauleedlovesYakeface... back under your bridge please

**artyboy**

That's how a female marine should look. Great job.

Nicely done on both the model AND the paint job!

OK, now I'm interested in the anime inspiration too.

What is it called, so that I can hopefully Netflix it?

Uh...I lift weights and the size of my head, ie, my skull hasn't changed. However my muscle tissue has increased in size. Maybe you should go brush up on that whole skeleton thing yourself?

They are from Five Star Stories ( F.S.S ) , imo the most ancient (1986 )yet still best looking of all mechas.
This site seem to have very detailed info: http://www.gearsonline.net/fss/

Here is a conversion pic , built with Kawasaki Ninja ( motorcycle model ) If he ever gets into warhammer im sure he'll wins some GD lol....

The hips and the armpits are on the same line. No matter what the people here are trying to show with the figure inside the model. If the armpits line up with the hips then it's a man. If the outside of the shoulders match up with the hips it's a woman. Plan and simple. Muscle grows on top of the skeleton. You don't have muscle on your skull. This is why it stays the same size. Your armpits are still going to match your hips if you are a man that lifts weights.

I can take away the breast part for arguement but you can't take away the way a woman is made up and they do not have that shape.

The model is awesome as for the painting. As for looking like a woman in power armour it falls short.

Still think the marine models looks fine to me.

**Orkeosaurus**

Once again, people, THE SKELETAL STRUCTURE OF A SPACE MARINE IS ALTERED BY THE IMPLANTS THEY RECEIVE.

Do men have fused ribcages? Do they commonly grow to be eight feet tall? NO THEY DON'T BUT SOMEHOW SPACE MARINES HAVE THOSE TRAITS.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
