*buys entire stock of GW shoulder pads* Now i'm just waiting for someone to come up with a chibi dread idea that i can steal and i'm set. Oh and you can make chaos marines with chaos pads too.

For your dread, you could always go grab an old Epic Scale Titan off ebay. There are always plenty of them available and some with really cool designs.

I'm not sure it would work perfectly, but it should be close enough to scale.

These are sweet.. (as I dive into my SM bits box) !

That's funny good work

My mini marine work in progress..

HaHA! Yes, I really did just dive into my SM bits pile and this is what emerged. A new project and my girlfriend gushes, "It's SOO cute!"

The marine itself does look... erm... super cute. But what really catches my eye is the details, like the shortened chainsword, bolter, and stunted backpack. Excellent eye for detail, I love it.

I've allready assembled the parts but what do we use fro bodys???

The body appears to be made from a pair of upside down shoulder pads, as Breotan mentioned before.

Those are cool as hell.

Thats a great insult to the Imperium and the Space Marines,but cool!!

Yes, I "know" that. I can see it in the picture. Look between the "foot" and the arm. You'll see the same join of two shoulderpads that make up the head only upside down. The head/body is basically a big oval. The feet are simply glued onto the seam that joins the abdomin together. As for what bits are attached to the torso, I can't tell because the bolt pistol is in the way.

So you were just guessing.

But good spot on the torso part. You can indeed see the join between the shoulder and the foot.

Any ideas about the bits for the torso?

It isn't guessing when you can see what has been done.

The "Know" part in my post referred to something more along the lines of;

"Yes, I know these because I made them."
"Yes, I know these because a friend of mine made them."
"Yes, I know these because I have several pictures from different angles."

- sort of thing.

Gonna have to settle for "Yes, I know this because I looked at the model and figured out how it was done."

I did make one error... there are no actual arms. The hands are either glued directly to the shoulder pad (in the background figure) or the bolt pistol is glued to the shoulderpad and the hand is just hanging.

Which of course isn't remotely the same thing, but OK.

Good call on the torso. And yeah, I noticed y´the same thing about the arm.

I wish we had a picture from the back showing how the backpack is made smaller (assuming it is).

I don't think the backpack is shorter. It was made narrower by removing the small segment that joins the round "thruster/exhaust" bits to the pack itself. Not a huge difference but it does make a thinner profile.

Super-cute!

hahaha..very funny

Awww so cute...

That's how we made squats in power armor back in the RT days: Mark VII shoulder pads.

@OP They look great by the way!

i have some of those.

Pics?

Oh man...

Someone HAS to build a Squat Army like this and field it somewhere official...


They HAVE to!!!

Seriously, can anyone find out who did this? Or perhaps one of the excellent modellers here will be up to the challenge or reproducing it!

Dakka_X3, I think you have a good start but I'd have these comments for your next one:

-The ones in the original picture just have hands, no arms
-It would look more proportional if you cut down the weapons a bit
-The banner is a bit too tall for the little fella, I think

Mini-marines, mini-dreads, mini-Land Raiders, mini-Rhino's.. a whole darned Mini-me chapter of genetically altered super..midgets.. *shivers* the horror..

"honey, the Adeptus Mechanicus have played with their conversion beam and shrunk my Astartes chapter by accident!"

All built out of 'official' GW parts too, so it would be 'game legal'!

Though in this TLOS world, it COULD be seen as an attempt to abuse certain rules.

Though their shortness would work against them there as much as it worked for them!

Yea, those are overly cute. They almost shine with cuteness. I dunno if thats a good thing or not, but DAMN those are adorable

Definitely CSM ones on the to do list. Even chaos gods have a sense of humour. Khornate ones: very small, and very angry about it.

It's worse than Squats it's Smurfs in Power Armor.
