Hey guys, looking for some tips on my noise marine conversions.

I have heads and pads from Kromlech, the guns however are something I came up with after being skint and having a load of bits plus a shop load of spare parts to raid.


Here is my champ, I was lazy with his arm and just tacked the nid arm straight on. I replaced the top of the nid gun with a gargoyle head from the CSM vehicle sprue.



Here is the front on with one of my marines, I used half of a CSM arm then pined the wrist up of the nid arm to get a more natural grip compared to the champ.



And here is my blastmaster, I have done 2 versions but not sure which is best.

The first one with the nid gun, isnt as bulky but I am not sure it looks right, it fits with the "mutated" look of the sonic blasters, but I am not 100% sold on the look.

While number 2, made with some bits off a centurion, land speeder and gargoyle head looks slightly better to but doesn't fit with the others as well. Which do you guys think is better?

I will probably do some more tweaking tomorrow with both of them.




What do you guys think over all of the look, are they noise marine enough to pass or do I need to shove a boom box on one of their backs?

I like them , they have a very oldschool chaos feel!

Liking them! Keep up the good work

I like the idea of the Tyranid weapon arms very much but the muzzle tops from the Chaos Rhino sprue don't have enough of a "speakers" look to me to make them work. Plus, they don't really fit with the organic weapon design.

Maybe you could do something with greenstuff (just a small blob into the mouth and then shape it into grills) and file/cut of some of the harder edges?

Hey guys, thanks for the support.

Treslibras I was trying to go for a mouth rather than a speaker for the muzzle but I might play with a bit of blutak later to see what it would look like.
