Hey Guys!

So after posting a small article on my blog last week, I decided to post a topic on Dakka to get some more response.

First some pictures of my conversions so far: (Mostly WIP) More found in the above article post!





I also have about 5 more in the works.
I've been struggling with a good way to do a bionic gun arm, with the gun in place of a hand. Any suggestions in that vein?

So what do you guys think? Anyone else got some cool conversions/tips/ideas? Feel free to post anything related to bionics for Space Marines here!

I find it odd that his eye is hardwired to his leg in such a way.

Yeah I agree with you unsual but creative work. Nive job !

Yeah, now that I look at it its kinda strange, but what can you do. I'll see about adjusting that a little bit.

Thanks bud!

No Probs but if and when you adjust it please share more pictures .

Will do! He also has a new respirator, but I have yet to get pictures.

oh cool, sounds brill, get the pictures asap

Necron arms and legs

Okay, snapped some quick pics before heading out.

Completely scratchbuilt leg, needs some more piping and work on the foot.


scratchbuilt gun arm and an =I= symbol for the jetpack. I'm thinking about taking off any BA iconography and making this guy an =I= only assault marine.


awkward wiring marine, now with respirator and silenced bolt pistol!

Necron arms and legs

Good call, I need to make a bits order. However, the scale does concern me somewhat.

Let me know what you think!

Wow looks awomse Better than the first few pics, Nice work, Keep it up .

I've only made one bionic from scratch, an arm for one of my latest models. Here it is;



After this pic was taken I added green stuff where the hand meets the forearm, to simulate a covered up joint.

Looks good mate, detailed .

Thanks man, I'm definitely working on improving!

That's awesome, the detail is striking. Where are the small black cables from?

Both are very skilled Kepp us up to date on how you improve them .

Just some thin electric cabling, I make a habit of saving stuff from busted electronics that might come in handy for modeling.

Press mould that Bionic Arm, it is too nice to be a one off! Nice work, I think the angelus pattern Boltgun (used by the Blood Angel Sanguinary Guard). It is attached over the Wrist. So I think it would be good on a Sternguard who has possibly had his hand removed at the wrist. The gun would be attached at the fore arm and wires stick out of his wrist to show it has been severed.

Equally you could have a Devastator missing his arm and pauldron, using heavy weapon one handed with a chain or sling around his neck so he can still balance the weapon. Or maybe a Space Marine Plasma Gun operator who has suffered a "Gets Hot" and is damaged but still uses Plasma Weapons.

Well, it's not a space marine, but chopped up tomb king arms with some grey stuff and copper wiring make some great bionics...

Th, I'm in the process of refining some previous ideas and building a new chainsword arm.

Ah, I see. Might just have some from busted headphones, I'll take a look.

Angelus boltguns....I believe I have one lying around somewhere. A get hot marine is a good idea, I was planning on some plasma already in the army. I'm thinking lots of small holes in the armor, or would a big laser burn style look better?

Nice one, Scarper! Glad to see you posting here as well, reminds me to get back to the IGMB some time...

Techmarines are the ultimate in Bionics, I would build a "Master of the Forge" with a Ton of Bionics. I am still wondering at doing my MOTF as a TECHMARINE DREADNOUGHT like this one, it looks amazing...



EDIT This isn't mine, i just put it up as I was inspired by it, I think it's "Toy Cutters" Work.

Yeah I agree and awsome! Loving the detail with the painting. Nice work.

I've come back to your thread for inspiration, as i've started a Pre-Heresy Iron hands army...Lots of bionics, but I want to copy the severed Arm with cables etc sticking out. Waiting on the FW Troops and I can get cracking.

Glad you remembered this thread! Best of success with the new blog!

Looks good.
