Now, you know it's not fair to post something like that without pics!

I know, the one with the sniper rifle is particularly cool.

Why!? Why do you do this?
How could you!

Now thats not fair LE

so you want some wip-pics, is that what you are saying?

Of course that's what we are saying ! You're into P&M Blogs here, not Showcase !

Heh. Say that you have stuff in the pipeline and show no pictures; all hell breaks loose.

Allright, I'll snap some pics and have them up within the hour.

Happy now ? I'm just mashing the F5 button to see if those pics are coming real !

Very happy Yggs.

Enjoy!

Lovely.

Ouch ! Oh my... Awesome models to behold !! I wish I had the patience & skill to build true-scale... They're definitely better-looking !
Your custom rifles also help... like... A LOT !!

(It was worth the wait... And the teasing... Well, maybe not the latter )

It's real simple yggs, want some tips for doing it quick and easy?

Hey, why not ? I could be tempted... Like, for a 200pts Kill Team, for instance ?

Nice work, love the sniper rifles in particular!

They look great your true scaling really makes them look loads better.

True scaling is not that hard, making it look good, on the other hand... Well, lets just say that your doing better then me.
Also, why so little love for the 'crons.

This is really nice conversion. Good work man

Awesome work, worth the wait. The posing and True Scaling are very well executed, and the modded bolters are great. The Ex-crons on the bases are a cool touch too.

Thanks guys! Glad you like them.

The 'crons are there because.. well.. I had some crons avalible to scrap. I went with daemonettes for the eldar army and I didn't want to repeat myself.

Yggs: True-scaling is dead easy as long as you don't complicate things. I only elongate the thighs and sternum on my models as you can see, elongating the shins is too time-consuming and, if we are to be honest, completely unnessecary.
Why? Well, it's a question of anatomy. In general, the lenght of the femural bone (the one in your thigh) that runs from the middle of your knee-joint to the top of your hip is slightly longer or equally distant to the combined lenght of your shin and foot. So adding a spacer to the geaves aswell as the thigh would make the shins too long and it would, well, look a bit off.

The biggest thing however, is posing the model. With marines everything above-belt so to speak is wonderfully dynamic (as long as you have a well-stocked bitzbox) and model-wise it is usually the legs that decide the pose.

The model has to 'line up'. The alignment of the feet is crucial to the pose since they usually corresponds to the implied direction. Think of the hands, are they where they should be? Is the head aligned and tilted properly?

Use photo references, think of the pose as a snap-shot of a movement, does it make sense? Achieving a credible pose is hard, but the results thend to be worth it.

I love everything you've done so far, it's a great inspiration.

Where did you get the sniper rifles from?

really diggin the custom bolter

This Plog is absolutely brilliant, the modelling work in particular is awesome!

How did you make the sniper rifles?

One of my favourite PLOGs, your RG test miniature one page 31 is one of the best examples of painting black I've ever seen!
