Hey guys iv just got a space marine combat squad which is the 1st squad for my marine army so I wanted to take my time with them and make them a little special but I don't have any spare parts for kit bashing etc so what would you recommend ? I would like to make one look as tho he's kneeling but not sure how to do it ? Hopefully it wouldn't be to green stuff heavy ?

Thanks

The easiest way to achieve this is buying the kneeling legs from the Command Squad or Devastator Squad sprues from an online bits seller. eBay has a few good merchants that offer these.

This is what you are looking for:

Oh yeah that seems a lot easier thanks for the heads up

If you don't want to buy bits, cut the leg, drill small holes in both parts and glue a little piece of iron wire in between (in the shape you want the leg to bend), then later when its dry simply add a little green stuff to strengthen the joint - just a little bit. After a day or so (or at least several hours) add a little more. and shape it in the way of a kneecap or a part of armor.

GS might be annoying at first, but i found it to be almost essential to just assembling cast material. If you need any help ask or check the tutorial section, there's a bunch of info on GS and its very nice to use.
