As the title states, I am building a "true scale" deathwing counts as army just for the fun of it. I'll probably do them up as Consecrators, a Dark Angels sucessor chapter who supposedly inhereted a good deal of the Dark Angels legion's holy relics and wargear. I figure this gives the excuse fluffwise for nearly every model having lightning claws thunderhammers stormshields stormbolters etc.

my planned first 750 pts

need to buy/ waiting for bits
conversion wip

::hq::
Belial- sword of silence, storm bolter

::troops::
deathwing squad one- cyclone missile launcher, 4x chain fists

deathwing squad two- assault cannon, 4x chain fists

::heavy support::
whirlwind- extra armor


wip counts as Belial
I still need to clean up and finish the greenstuff work and hit the mold lines, drill stormbolter barrels etc. I am contemplating giving him a cape. If I do it will be after i get the majority of the model painted.

ok what is true scale??? is it bigger than normal or what i'm a lil lost (nothing new for me hehehe)

yeah its a bit bigger than a normal marine its basically for people who have a size matters issue and feel inadequate having mairnes that are not rediculously larger than imperial guardsmen. Oh btw they will all be based on 40mm bases like normal terminators. I'm going to just use the small bases for conversion and painting then put them on there actual base when painting is finished.

size comp

do they make kits for these or are they all hand made

They are all hand made...

I have been told that fulff wise a marine would be that big but ti just does not fit for me. Not to say that the cnversion was not good becasue it was...to be honest it was one of the best True Scale Marines I have seen. I just do not understand why they have to be "True Scale".

Oh well...very nice conversion man...5 out of 5 for me!

converted out of a hybrid of normal marine bits and terminator bits.

parts:

terminator legs (greenstuff in the "gaps" in the legs so it looks like smooth power armor)
tactical marine back torso half (glued to termi legs)
terminator chestplate (with the hood part cut off)
terminator arms ( all the power cables and stuff cut off, the metal arm is a grey knight terminator arm with the gry knight writing filled in with greenstuff)
normal power armor helmet ( this one was from a khorne berzerker with the "bunny ears" cut off)
normal power armor backpack ( this one from the plastic space marine commander kit)

i like it although in a 5th edition game it makes them models easier to see but hey im not playing them. LOL

mk6 wip: I think I'm going to end up turning the cable connector bit in the middle into a skull.

wow! looks really good, they must be a bugger to build! but yeah i think its a good idea keep it up

counts as Belial a few brush strokes away from finished



what? a wounds counter built into the base?

oh i love that wounds counter. it's genius!

its just a hero clix base or something like that.

yea i really do think you should give belial a cape, he looks a bit bare at the moment but still really awesum
