I'm really not very familiar with 40k models, though. Any suggestions as to what parts to look for? Is it a fairly standard terminator torso with space marine arms/legs? Or is a terminator torso bigger? I'd like to put it on a 30mm base, and I'm not sure what the base size is in the picture.

Edit: Maybe it's even just a regular terminator with a dwarf head? At any rate, ideas for how I could do something similar on a 30mm base would be fantastic.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381664.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381664.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help Looks like he cut the model from mid thigh to knee to shorten the legs.
Terminator models come with 40mm bases, so I'd guess that would be the size, but it could fit on 30mm base, but the base may look a little small. Only 1 way to fing out though
You could do it all from a Space Wolves Wolf Guard Termnator if you like the norse/ viking raider feel, or regular/ assault terminators if you are going a differrent way.
Looks pretty cool.
The wolf giuard set give you the option of ranged or assault weapon load outs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381673.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381673.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381833.page GMT Re:Squat Terminator Conversion Help
And why would you want to do this? Squats are terrible.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6381866.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help
In what way would they be terrible?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382014.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help
From the pic, it looks like it's a normal torso placed on legs with the thighs shortened. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382037.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help
Personally I'd stick to the plastics as its easier to work with and much more pose-able etc... I got 10 meal Wolf Guard termintors lying in a box and I wouldn't want to take a hacksaw to them...

As for asking why squats are terrible.... just asking from genuine curiosity.... it may be that aesthetically they are terrible.... for me I think they are cool looking.... as for terrible to play it depends on what codex you try to use.... could be fun to have a stumpy logan-wing army hahaha!!!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382150.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382179.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382179.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help
As for shortening a Space Marine.... I am not so sure.

Yu could give it a try if you had a spare marine lying about, but I wouldnr spend money on a box of them unless you are sure.... I think the terminators look really good, but its the more expensive option]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382228.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382228.page GMT Squat Terminator Conversion Help

I disagree with that, far more terrible is that far seer thinks that anyone who disagrees with him is trying to say their opinion is a fact

and you understand why space shorts in egg armour are terrible for 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382418.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570423/6382418.page GMT
