Imperial Fist

How to convert or sculpt a miniature? How to make a decent base or even a full diorama?!

Imperial Fist

Post by Grenadier »

As I have only the one space... for modeling and its a tad untidy for painting at the moment, I decided to go ahead and do another conversion mixed in with the Wolf Lord.

Here is the start, its a fairly simple one, slight change of pose and a few bits and pieces to show him as a veteran as I go along, plus a more fancy pair of shoulder pads and such,

Hes an Imperial Fist terminator, with a power weapon..

I have a couple of questions, what happens to the power cords when not connected to the weapons, are they long enough to stretch to where the weapon is now ? , would they hang out of sockets on his power pack?

I think the cords are made of super-duper-spacemarine-rubber-metal so they are naver disconnected :bonk:
besides I don't think that terminator is agile enough to connect them back with armour put on :roll:

otoh You could make the cords disconnected and lying on the floor - after all every self-respecting terminator should have a servitor to prepare the master for defending humanity and spreding word of emperor with storm bolter and power weapon :D

I had some skulls lying about and i thought one might do for a helmet for this guy.

What do you think?

I think You chose the worst skull from the set :roll:
I liked much more the one with open "mouth" or the jawless :) will You add any tubes or spikes to the head?

I am not sure about the tubes etc, ala Librarian or chaplain... he might be just a termie with a fancy helmet...


Take your point on the skull being the worse I will try the other two.

I sort of like the idea of the cables hanging to the ground into a small "puddle". And I agree, that skull really doesn't look good there. Just doesn't make me think "helmet" honestly.

I am not too fond of the skull. It seems a bit too small to be a helmet, but maybe it's just my opinion...

Hey Tanya, Mahon

Yeah Skulls a bit big, I will take a photo of him with the smaller skull looks a lot better.
