I think it looks fantastic except for the lack of shoulderpads on your stormtroopers.

Sorry, just makes them look unfinished to me.

Paint is great looking, love the weathering! Man, that Land Raider is pure sex.

Great conversions, but I can just see a Farseer walking up to them and just going 'These arn't the Xeno's your looking for....'

Damn! Strong words! But not out of place given those vehicles.....

Love this look. I think everything is just about spot on. The number of hours that must have gone into this is impressive and it shows. Great work all round.

One question: Are you intending to make the droids < must . . . .resist...... obviou joke.... >? I could see them as objectives but am struggling after that!

Whats with the one with the big hand?

I'd like to see more star wars fluff if you're gonna do that. Like maybe Dark Troopers as termies. Maybe dark jedi for sergents. But still sweet. I really like the AT-ST.

Love it. the terminators and characters are ace.

great style, dont mind the shoulder pads or lack there of,

my only possible commet would be i would like to see more imperial(starwars) marking and symbols on the troops and vehicles.

Dark Troopers .. pfff. If it wasn't in the original 3 movies it doesn't count. As far as I'm concerned, everything after episodes 4,5 and 6 was just means for Mr Lucas to fill his bank account.

Seriously, according to the books, comics, etc. Boba Fett falls into the Sarlacc 3 times, C3-PO comments about being naked and Greedo meets both Han Solo and Anakin Skywalker prior to the events of episode 4 .. c'mon.

Rock on.

I agree with all those who say they need shoulder pads..but I love the idea, and I love the paint job. Very creative.

Thanks again for the compliments, updates coming real soon...a total reinforcement to the army

Ho hum. Certainly eye-catching, very skilfully done. But it just doesn't do in my world. Those are neither looking like actual storm troopers, which would be cool, nor are they still looking like space marines, which is cool, too. They are something in between, that, despite all the work you put into them, is not even a tiny bit cool in my book.

I had thought about a Tau army converted to look star-wars-y, but I did not try it for the same reason: it will never do star wars justice, nor will it still be as cool as the 40k it was based on.

The tanks look great, but the rest is kind of weird. There's no battle damage on the marines themselves, and they don't have shoulder pads :3

Love the tanks though.

More pics added on the first post of a recent addition to the army.

This is one of the coolest conversions I think I've ever seen! The Storm Trooper heads scaled very well to the Space Marines bodies and I love to think that the AT-ST walker is a proxy for the Dreadnought! The paint scheme is also well assembled; obviously thought out (if it wasn't, even more props to you!). The paint job is absolutely phenomenal, from the details to the shadows painted across larger surfaces of the vehicles. In all, a very sexy army that would be the envy of any gaming table.

My level of envy has just risen to a whole new disgusting level.

I won't say good job, because that would be an understatement.

haha,thanks! The guy who commissioned it is pretty stoked, i know he plays it as a vulkan list currently!

omg those are OOOOOOOOOmasing where did you get those heads or how did you convert them? i think these can get away with out shoulder pads!

Man i wish i could paint like youand have the paicenc also nise suttle warhammer/40k kits bashes like the empror(star wars one)Did you use the warhammer wizard bits for him?

cool!

great job, amazing painting. Just love the weathering.

Some markings would look good but i don't think it takes anything away from an awsome looking army.

Thats amazing
Great job with the paint job just a great army to look at.

I believe the commissioner used the storm troopers from the "dead" star wars miniature line...i believe he almost wiped them all out from existence actually haha

So did you just paint them as a commision?

Really like this marines are great. And nice job on the vehicles.

Wow thats some epicly good weathering!
Great effort

Haha, this is excellent.

HAZZER wrote:So did you just paint them as a commision?

Yes sir

Yeah, I love it
When I very first saw Marines I thought - They are SO copies of Storm troopers!
Glad you left the pads off, with them they would have looked too 40 k.

AWZOM!

Really like the color scheme on the vehicles. The weathering is fantastic. Any plans to number or personalize the vehicles a bit?

cool army though I hate star wars.

Simply inspiring work on those tanks. Very well done.
