Subject: Making SM Termis look more "Bionic"?

Perturbed Blood Angel Tactical Marine

Any ideas/pictures would be appreciated, been searching for a while now, haven't found a whole lot. All I can think of is exhaust pipes off the backs (which don't make a whole lot of sense and look goofy) and lots of guitar wire in the gaps of the armour on the backs of the termi's legs.
Thanks

Well this may sound stupid, but with termis (AoBR), I cut them at the waist, cut the head out, put the torso on upside-down, and stuck the head back in the wrong way up .This makes them look more like juggernauts

I think I need to see a picture of that grob.... My brain is doing backflips trying to vizualise it.
Take a look at the space hulk miniatures, there's a great mini in there with a scanner incorporated into his power fist.
Other than that, try grabbing some necron bits and yeah.....guitar wire....

For future reference, questions go in the general Painting & Modelling forum. The Tutorials section is just for posting tutorials.
Moving this one now.

I think Micro Arts just released SM bionics bits including legs, arms, hands, and heads (?) which would make for incredibly easy conversions.
Necron parts on marines look necron parts on marines, not bionics. Unless you spruce them up with gubbins. Alot. I'd make an arm or leg out of plasticard, rod, guitar wire, and sprue.

They did?
I can't find them - do you have a link?
Maxmini just did some:

Are you sure you're not confusing them?

Could you post a picture of the guitar wire legs? I'm currently trying to make some termies and I can't visualize what your saying. Appreciate it!

I've seen the Maxmini bionic bits talked about in other threads, and I went through the whole Micro Arts website trying to find said bits, but they weren't there.
Wish forgeworld went and did some....
