warflag Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Hi folks, I am warflag. I am new to this board, and I want to share with you my wip diy Space Marine army progress. This chapter exists for a year and a half now and progress is slow. It is my second attempt at a SM army. I got a bit bored by my first one, which had an orange theme. Quite an eye-burner, I decided I needed a new one. This army was started under 4th Ed rules with chapter traits.

Marshal Rohr Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Warflag please tell me how you did the Romanesque Cheek Guards, I wanted to do those for my Ultras but just messed up the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warflag Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Thank you everybody! oh my freaking god! those are awesome!!!!, how did you make the helmets? the dread is amazing too! Greens and plasticard :P I formed the "beak from greenstuff. That is quite easy, take a small ball, attach it to the front and press the sides. The rest is cutting and filing. The cheak guards (is that a word?) are made from tiny strips of plasticard, 0.5mm. you have to cut back the helmet sides a bit to make them fit. This should illustrate how: http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc286/gewaltherrscher/esvets.jpg You can see here that I had to do some parts in full greens. This was due to the very tight head position in the chest armour. Ah so your Emperor's Shields have finally made it over to the "Power Armoured Fortress". :P Cheers Heru! Dude, this is the Space Marine board. Incredible I did not come here before... When I saw all those great marine armies I could no longer resist.

Growler67 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hmmmm, from "Flaming Pumpkins" company of the Salamanders to the male equivalent of the SoB's :blink: Nice work, really. I'd like a little more info on your converting the "beakies" heads though. Not so much the plasticard along the sides as the squaring off of the beaks. Just GS or is there more to what you did?

cathar the great Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Very nive! How did you make the Dreadnought Arm/hand holding the halberd? I've been looking for a good idea for that for a long time now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) His original project thread on Warseer can be found HERE.

warflag Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 My friendly assistant has it right :P :) Thanks Heru ! I have a long thread on warseer, where all your questions on step by step are answered in depth. You will find out everything you´d need to do the dread yourself. Anyway, some things I want to answer here: The beak part of the helmet indeed is just GS. And it´s really easy to do. Take a little ball of GS, stick it to the front exhaust. Use index finger and thumb and squeeze the nose. Now you should have the basic form. See to make it flat at the bottom. That will lift up the beak a bit and the bow on top will turn upwards. Now free the eyes, press the beak down where it covers the eyes. Try to make the surface smooth. After the GS dried make a cut from 1/3 up the lower edge of the beak downtowards the neck. That will be the new exhaust. Sounds complicated, but if you do this step by step, word by word, it should look like what I have done ;) The double cheesecannon consists of one original cannon and one scratchbuild. Fairly easy though took some time. I used GS from which I rolled the barrels. I attached these barrels as three parts between a hexagon shaped plasticard piece that was filed to the riginal form. The rest was Plasticard pieces. All 1mm card. As for the zerkers, they are not that spectacular. I did just slight conversions. The big conversions where the termies. I had the classic white metal ones. Excessive sawing was included. I´ll post some tomorrow. So, a great thank you to all who have posted. Cool you like them, cooler you demand more. Next on this channel, a chaplain dreadnought, and terminators. Hope to get some done til next week. Cheers Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother of the Temple Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hey warflag everything looks great. The white and gold look very regal/holy. One of your tac marines has a shoulder pad that looks segmented, how did you do that? Looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
