Cross posted from by WIP Blog, I've managed to finish the first batch of my Terran Marine stand ins for Ogryns. I decided I wanted to try Ogryns in my Guard force, but have never liked the normal models. Seeing as I went a little over the top for my Rough Rider counts-as I thought that the least I could do was lavish the same attention on another maybe-never-to-be-used unit type

Anyway, on with the show! The first 4 marines including Mr Jim Raynor as the althletic looking chappie and Tychus Findlay with a serious cannon









One more marine to finish and then its on to the supporting cast of Firebat, Medic, Marauder and Goliath!

Nice! hopefully this thread won't devolve into a flamewar...those are pretty badass and I've been asking around for ideas to make some terran marines...now! a queen of blades! she can be whatever your psyker dude is lol XD

my only gripe is that they look like terminators.

I'd expect those models to come with a 2+ armor save, instead of the virtually nothing that the GW ones come with.

I did ponder the armour thing, but as Guard can't get any type of terminators I didn't think it would be too much of a problem in-game. Hell, Tau Crisis suits are even bigger than Terminators but they modify toughness and number of wounds, rather than a 2+ save. Thats my excuse anyway

Oh, right, they're definitely playable as ogryn. Don't get me wrong on that. You're just going to have to do some serious fluff bending is all.

Ooft they look nice. Can't wait to see them painted up

They are amazing!

I can't wait to see the Firebat and Marauder.

Love the models! Love the game too, really want to see them painted

@Ailaros - It's a totally valid point. However in my view fluff is there to be bent

@Happy_Pig - The Firebat is in progress



The painting worries me a bit, but I will just have to jump right in and get started!

And I jizzed in my pants...

Great work, I really enjoyed playing SC & SCII. Will we see a Siege Tank Russ in the future? That's what I would get really excited about!

If I were you I'd look into making a Deathwing army with these boys. Raynor as Belial and two squads with firebats for heavy flamers and Tychus for an assault cannon. I love your conversions, and really hope to see them painted soon.

very nice stuff, great to see them painted up!
