Okay the skillet... sure, you can crack some heads with that so okay. Anyone with a mom probably knows what can be done with a spatula or wooden spoon even. The wisk though... oh man... “I’m going to scramble your face” :D

I usually just do them separately from the model. It’s a lot easier to stick em all on popsicle stick and spray em white ;)

Remember to post it up in the space marine outpost too so Cap knows you’ve joined ;) http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346712-space-marines-outpost/

Those bits are from a Stormcast model. Looks kinda like the Lord Veritant's sword.

I just did a bit of a repose on my metal EC. Nothing more then moving the sword around a bit.

@Trokair The base color you have down there looks really good. I had to reread what you said, because it looks like they're still unpainted factory metal! (A complement for Necrons I'm sure ;))

Nice work, y'all gotta stop making Primaris look good :D I don't mind the DA crozius much, but it would look a lot more fitting if he had a big honking cross on it like Grims or similar. Maybe a bit of greenstuff to form one around the angel? :/ I do really like the use of BT bits around the model as that sets it apart from the basic primary school marines and the head looks spot on, I've used chaos bits myself so you won't hear me complain ;) I'll second that a tabard or at least half tabard like the EC would really help sell it for me.

Nah the legs scale just fine with marines. I've seen several conversions using the Chaos Warriors and they look pretty awesome. Just google chaos warrior black templar conversion for some eye candy.

I hadn't thought of doung a flat base before, I'll have to try that out. I suppose you could even use a bit of stiff card as the base and sculpt the folds over that.

@Kordhal the tubing looks really good there and the heads are an appealing change from the stock mk4 look alikes they come with.

I made one with a length of sprue and some green stuff for one of the events here. It's not the prettiest, but it was cheap (free actually, my favorite form of cheap!) Sprue was a straight section shaved down to a rough spear with an xacto blade then inserted into my power drill and ran on high while holding it with a bit of sandpaper to get it smooth.

I would keep playing around with the green stuff. Even if it's just for table top models it's a useful skill to have. I've got a whole slew of terribly sculpted tabards (and well a lot of stuff) ;) Still though I feel like I'm improving a little bit. My most recent tabard was for the Dawn challenge: It's still not the greatest (and the top half is a modified biker sergeant from the DV box set), but it's still a huge improvement over my earliest attempts... :D

Squad number on one knee is what they show in the book, but really whatever you want (if anything, I like to mix and match).

The Contemptor would probably be a good match for the detail level. Actually given the size of that marine and how plain it is I would think it's going to be pretty interesting to see how any detailing is done.
