So I I was wandering around the internet, idly wondering if anybody had made a true-scale terminator out of a centurion kit, and ended up stumbling upon a very neat conversion from a Finnish blog that used Ork parts.

So I said to myself 'I think a space marine's arms would fit in there...'

A few hours later here's what I have so far:

So I'm going to see what I can do about lowering that head a little bit to line up the shoulders, it's not as big an issue on the model itself as foreshortening is missing with perspective here, but it is fixable.

I've decided to commit on grav cannons and hurricane bolters, but I'm a little worried I don't have the space on the model for that second weapon.

Does dakka have any thoughts as to where I could put it?

So I wasn't sure if I should resurrect the old thread or start a new one, but I finally got around to taking another crack at these.

I really wanted to save the space marine shoulder pads here, I really like that aspect of the look, and on top of that the right arm has the pauldron built into it. I did shave some parts off the underside of the shoulders as well as the top of the pauldrons, its cheating but that on top of lowering the heads by removing the nubs helps them look - less- disproportionate, but still not absolutely perfect.

Then I realized the picture I took had the arms slip down and make it look just as bad:



Will post another update once he's properly glued. Need to fill some holes so the arms have some purchase on that torso.

I'm working on the six of them together right now, and someone ended up giving me still more centurions for Christmas (game store secret Santa's, ftw). That's actually what got me back to working on them, and I ended up building a counts-as terminator captain out of centurion parts too:



His arms are magnetized, so are the pannels on his legs but I realized too late there wasn't enough room to have his helmet hanging off his waist dramatically, so that'll just be a swap I can use. The storm bolter and power sword were the first arms I made for him and ended up looking the best (extremely T-Rexy, but that's the nature of the conversion concept,hes a space marine on stilts), a storm shield turned out well and im considering what equipment options work well on a terminator captain.
