Yeah, that Corvus pattern is amazing. The pose and the attitude of the model speak volumes. Once it all gets painted up it's going to be outright striking.

That sure is amazing, you make true scaling look easy!

thems some purdy SM's, and although i coulndt stomach fiddling with the space hulk models, im glad you did!

Saturday update! wheee! i am productive. also.. drinking beer and playing with plastic and an exactoknife inevidly results in cuts.. just so you know.

Mk 3 is ready for the paints. well, there's some additional detail I can slap on and I need to gap-fill just little on the shoulderpad 'rims' but yeah.. as good as done.
For yeah pleshaaah..





So.. that dreadnought I poked around with a while back.. I have decided that he fit in better here than with the usual marines. here he's just the right size.




The boys and the dread. sooon.. there shall be paint.



That's all folks. Have at it!

Looks excellent.
All of it. Excellent.

Those guys are very imposing! Execellent thread! Subscribed

The Mk3 is FANTASTIC! You avoided several weaknesses most true scale conversions have, kudos! I'll have another look at this one when I get around to do a ts marine myself.

where is the sheathed bolter from?

These are all way to good. It's funny, pre-primer, I thought the Dread looked goofy. Now it looks totally normal.

What do you do with the rest of the termi parts if I can ask?

Oh wow!
Absolutely love the "art-scale" Marines.
They look perfect.
Cannot wait to see them painted.

Um, hell yes this is awesome! you need to go to sleep under a doona that has 'I am awesome' all over it!

they all look brilliant and that dread.... omg

Ooooooh! Tasty truescale...And a dreadnought too! The one thing I would add (well, perhaps two...) is that the dread's head might look better if it was raised up a little bit so that it is more centered in its collar/hood thing. The other is that you may want to add something to texture the bases in between the pieces of pipe and the panelling.

The mark 3 is my favorite, I think, but the mark 4 is sweeeet

Tanks for the words people.

@ Baiyuan: what weaknesses are that? can be interesting to know so I don't make silly mistakes.

@ Imperial Monkey: You know, I don't remember. they might be from the SM attackbike kit or the scout bikers.

@ whalemusic360: whole parts where added to the bitzbox, some of the arms will be thrown to my terminatorsquads for diversivication, stuff too damaged to be usefull will be used as basing materials. some find a new home in the recyclingbin.

@ prime12357: Heh, the bases are going to get a generous helping of sandand pva-glue, don't worry on that front. I know what you mean with the head but it's not just possible. because then I have to raise the entire sarcophagus and that thing's quite stuck where it is. I can't get it right all the time.



So, I am working on the 5th squadmember right now. will be a mk VI 'corvus' type toting an assultcannon and a lightningclaw. Also I thought I would break out the brush and paints. Wich one would you like me to paint first?

Just checking with the bases, you can never be too sure The dread is fine the way it is, anyways, so no worries there.

Paint? First? Well, that'd have to be the Mk III for me

Paint them in order, thats my vote

Looking stunning. Keep it up mate!

That one bolter slung down in the holster like a giant pistol just looks wicked.

Did a great job converting them up, I can't wait to see the first coat of primer that blends everything together, I'm sure they'll look outright wicked.

Heh, I have started up the Mk III. damn it looks much better with some necron abyss slapped on it.
Pics comming tomorrow.

nice basing! im hoping to achieve a similar effect

Provided that you grit up the bases

And doesn't everything look better in necron abyss?

agreed, some sand and grit should be added

Wished I had more time to paint today, but alas...

oh well. Still in the early stages of highlighting. weathering will come later. no.. that base is nowhere near done, and it will get a helping of snowflock later on.

I think this has been asked before, but where does the holstered bolter come from again?

From the SM attackbike kit I belive, I do not remember definitively though. Or the scout bike kit, it's definitely from a bike kit though.

haha I was about to ask the same thing. Great stuff as always!

I did a little digging on bitz sites, and it is indeed from the attack bike kit.


Hes looking good so far.

Looking great so far, though I feel it needs some other color to set off the dark tones of the armor and metals. Granted the dark tones of the armor and metals look fantastic, so...

Ok, now I demand my tank of gratitude! Where is it?

@ Baiyuan: what weaknesses are that? can be interesting to know so I don't make silly mistakes.

No chance you would do that, but to clarify what I was referring to: Some people tend to just convert the legs and torso and then stick normal/puny arms and shoulder pads on their TS marines. So in general I was referring to balancing the overall physique properly, which you did and most people don't.

@ Imperial Monkey: You know, I don't remember. they might be from the SM attackbike kit or the scout bikers.

Attack bike, great little bit. The scout bike only has a holstered shotgun, which is also great.

You'll get your tank to stare at Baiyuan, just be patient.

Speechless..
too awesome for me. i'm not worthy to lay my eyes upont these beauties.

Oh come now, it's not that good. I'm just winging it here. I don't even know what I am gonna use them for, a friend said that 16 of them (the amount I have parts for) and a dread is almost a whole draigowing if I run them as paladins.. but I dunno.. the GK's make me feel a bit.. dirty.
I could handle a henchmen army without 'em silver-boyz but a draigo-wing? no.. no wai!

I'll probably just pawn them off on someone who wants them. Or put them in a box somewhere for a rainy day. this is more of a hobby project for the converting, painting and gs-skill traing rather than that they should acctually be used for something.
