Hello, in the past Salute can see a game where he represented the seabed. With the idea of doing something similar, use a plastic space marines to do some simple conversions along with different pieces of Games Workshop.
The miniatures are for use with the 45 Adventures or a variant of Chaos in Carpathia rules to do missions on the seabed. The following will make some appropriate scenery as well as the typical dangers of the sea like giant octopuses and sharks.
As always, thanks for your attention and sorry for my bad English. ;)

They are really cool and very well done. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Your English is far far better than my Spanish so please do not let it stopyou from posting more.
-
Do not worry about your English - your figures speak for themselves, and they are excellent!
The brass of the suits looks very nice, and the harpoon guns are impressive, too.
The bases are a bit strange - are they supposed to be water, or a black sand beach? Maybe a seabed of sand, with some sea flora would have been better, to add a bit of contrast, but overall, the figures are superb.
Great work!

I was hoping this would have been a Submarine battle type game like a space (ship) battle game. Using Nautilus and other fantastical type of underwater vehicles. Could have giant sea monsters, mines and other nifty underwater vehicles.
-
wow! great minis and great ideas for a cool gaming session.
Adding some gray ET would be an excellent "X-com like" game.
By the way, how you made the dive helmet? its a "perdigon"?

I think they are supposed to be sand as it looks in the blueish/greenish light at the bottom of the sea.
What did you use for the helmets??
-
At last, a practical use for Space Marines. Well done.
-
Good work Criamon. Send in the monsters!
-
Excellent conversions. I love the whole look of them. A very VSF sort of feel and underwater is one of those things that I have just not attempted to tackle yet.
-
Thank you very much everyone for your answers, the truth is that I have learned much from this site follow the work of you all. ;)
The dive helmet is a piece of plastic jewelry of which are used to make necklaces purchased at any art store. The idea of the bases is to play them on a blue table cloth.
Actually, I'm doing an underwater vehicle and I hope to show the work in a few days.
Greetings!
PD: The idea for make minas is great. 8)
-
Very nice, I like the great bronze look of their diving outfits.
-
Brilliant! The barrels are really evocative. Where they look less spacemarine-ish they are at their best (no huge shoulder pads, no backpack). On the other hand the knife and the motion-sensor are a bit too 40k-looking.
However, all in all they are a beauty!
-
Don't forget to do a city fight on the streets of sunken Atlantis, and another get6ting pirate treasure chests smuggled past a "major colonial empire" to a group of natives a la Captain Nemo.
-
Very cool indeed, like X-COM: 1899 or something! The torches above the helmets remind me of anglerfish.
-
Very nice indeed. Can't wait to see what kind of vehicle you come up with.
I hope you don't mind if I steal some of your ideas.
-
What a cracking idea :D I prefer the 'trooper' with the bear arms though, gives it more of a VSF feel :)
cheers

Very nice!
-
Really well done! I didn't realize they were space marines until I read your text. Could you do a brief explanation of the conversion? I would love to steal your idea. 8)

This weekend I finished the underwater explorer vehicle, the conversion are very easy, all its based in a little box and I use warhammer and mordheim pieces that the lamps and the wooden shield on the top. The crawl its an older piece of technomarine from w40k and the other pieces are carton stripes, the deodorant cap and plastic caps for the windows.
For the base, I use acuarium plants and a little conversion with jewelry plastics pieces for make the coral.
I hope you like my new craze ;D. ;)
Greetings!!

PD: I repainted the miniatures base with the same color for the vehicle, I think this color is better.
Really well done! I didn't realize they were space marines until I read your text. Could you do a brief explanation of the conversion? I would love to steal your idea. 8)
Sorry for my late reply Doomsdave, the conversion for the miniatures are very easy, almost the entire figure are an original marine, only the dive helmet is a jewelry plastic ball and I use remains (ogres box) for the oxigen barrel and orcs spear for the harpoons.
Thanks all !!!

Great work!
-
lol your imagination has no limits. Nice stuff
-
This is almost more VSF than pulp, though :)

Hi, today I make a little changes on the cupula and in the windows. :)

PD: If the admin think the post is better in VSF forum and they can change, for my its ok ;)
-
Very good
It's getting better and better!
Now off to save the last blue whale ... (as our friends from belgium would suggest ...)
-
The sub looks great, I like the way you elevated it above the sea floor. I think it looks just as good for Pulp as VSF. It has the feel of many of the crazed Pulp scientest inventions from the serial movies of the era.
-
I love them!! :o :o :-* :-* :-* :-*

Excellent idea ! I like too the naked arms one. It's look very "primitive" and give a special touch, more "Victorian" and hide very well his space marines origin.
good job
