Metal Apostle Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 So after digging out my White Scars again, i thought i'd try to arrange my army into themed sub-armies. With multiple land raiders and the White Scars love for transporting things, with my love for forgeworld land raiders and terminators, i decided to make an army which would represent the personal guard of Jubal Khan; a sort of hunting party/inner circle in the 1st Brotherhood. :P Here's my Black Reach terminator and sergeant. The conversions are actually very simple but i'm happy with how much they changed the feel of the original AoBR minis and White Scarified them :) http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0034.jpg http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0036.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctus Cornix Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Dude, that is a pretty wicked sergeant. :P My only advice to him is that you need to add a stringy mustache that flows down and converges with the beard to give this guy the true mongol feel that the white scars are known for. My other thing is that both their suits of terminator armour is just a tad bit too plain for my tastes. White Scars always seemed like they would be the decorative type, that and these are the sacred veterans of the white scars chapter. They should be adorned with a great deal of decoration. maybe try some skulls and orc heads on a string across their shoulder or waist. Maybe a cloak or some purity seals/oaths. But otherwise, lookin great man. I'm watchin this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loken86 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 im liking the small changes brother but i do think they need more decoration ill be watching brother lets see some more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Quick replies! :lol: Thanks! I agree the armour does look a bit plain, will try to add little things to give them more of a 'marauding barbarian' feel. A chain of ork skulls is an excellent idea!, of course some models down the line will start getting pelts etc, but these guys i might just add something small to... Perhaps rings pierced into the armour as some kind of service/campeign decoration. Wolf and horsetail talismans/ necklaces will come shortly too. The trick is to make them look a bit savage without making them look just like white coloured Space Wolves, which is why i've opted to go for standard terminators, and then modify from there. As for the moustache Noctus, i stuck with just the goatee on the Sergeant because i could see MANY moustaches and fumanchu's on the horizon! The plain braided goatee was just something different B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Update! Next 2 terminators in the shooty squad complete. This squad will be riding around in a Prometheus to give fire support. Btw, anyone know where i can get a replacement part for a FW kit? I've lost one part of my LR Prometheus (since i put it away some 8 years ago); it's the sensor thing at the top of the vehicle if it helps... It's shouldn't be too hard to build my own version of it but it'd be nice if i could find/get my hands on the original part. http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0068.jpg http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0070.jpg Enemy spotted over there! :wub: http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0067.jpg http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0066.jpg Running in to give some Ork filth a piece of his mind... as in, the piece with S8 I1! ps. there is a tutorial on the necklace in the Modelling section of the board if anyone is interested.

Darius Macab Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 really nice man, your greenstuff skills are exceptional. were did you get the stud things that make the armor mrk 5ish? thanks DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAwarrior43 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 They look great, I really like the bases as well Edit: can we get another angled shot on that power sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks guys :D @ Darius. I actually spotted them at a model shop when i was overseas and picked up a whole pile of rivets sprues... The company/line is called Wave Option System; you can find them on ebay for about 5 bucks. Unsurprisingly, i'd say that these rivet sprues are probably the most useful hobby part i've EVER used. Useful for decorating armour, tanks, weapons; or anything you need a quick even dome on!! @ DAwarrior, Sure, i'll include it in my next post. Nearly finished with the assault cannon terminator. [edit. there was an online store link which i know B&C doesn't really allow... even so, that link was out of stock anyway] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's been said before, but your converting and greenstuffing skills are fantastic. When I saw the topic title I wasn't sure what to expect, but you've succeeded in making some nicely detailed and very characterfuil mini's for a chapter that doesn't seem to get much love these days. Looking forward to seeing more of this squad James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 First up, for DA Warrior, here is a better angle of the power sword. Cut from plasticard and then sharpened. Pretty straightforward. http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/white%20scars/IMAG0079.jpg Now, the last member of the squad.. Assault cannon marine! He's a black reach terminator with new arms, a headswap and a bit of greenstuff. Oh, and a bit from the butt of a Kroot rifle. http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/white%20scars/IMAG0080.jpg http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/white%20scars/IMAG0081.jpg Last... a teaser of what's on the horizon. Assault terminators (waiting for my dang bits to arrive in the mail! O_o) on their way! http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/white%20scars/IMAG0082.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Apostle Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks guys, appreciate the comments... Keeps me working ;) Half of them are black reach terminators with some mix and match involved. For the army i've bought 2 normal terminator squads and a black reach terminator squad. I should've gone for assault terminators, but at first i thought i'd be doing a Wolfwing list rather than a Deathwing one. See how changing your mind can cost you? :wallbash: :lol: Also have a Prometheus and Crusader which'll need stripping, and unassembled Godhammer and Redeemer waiting on the sidelines... cant wait til the summer break when i can really get to work on that! edit. weird post repeat thing :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Very nice posing and green stuff work. They're completely convincing and characterful with only minor (but important!) alterations. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Brief update here, with a bigger one to come in maybe a week (exam period :P). Not everything i've done on these guys to date but nevertheless; just watched the movie Mongol last night and got a whole lot more motivated to have these dudes oozing with character! Here's a heavy flamer terminator. Not too much done on him, just some studs and a skull spike from the Chaos Warriors kit. Also a big wolftail from a Wolfguard thunderhammer *hint* http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0105.jpg What i'm more proud to show though are these... Mongolian-styled Storm Shields which i'm setting up to be cast just now so i can use them on some of my bike Command Squad. :P http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu327/Twisted-Sister/IMAG0106.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathwing70 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 looking really good, lots of character! thanks for the picture of the repositioned legs, I've still got 10 terminators to build and I really want more walking legs (but not all the same ofcourse). That picture makes it look so easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
