Hmmm, interesting approach. I think these Sigmarwhatever would make nice realscale Emperor's Children, seeing them in these colurs is nice.

Nice work, Jan.
The best use of those Sigmar wotsits that I heve seen yet.
And taken to a lovely finish.

Lovely photos. My favourite is the night scene with the smoking heavy bolter.

If I ever do skirmish space marines myself, this is pretty close to what I'd planned (i.e. using Sigmarines as the base), so it's nice to see more successful examples of what's a fairly simple conversion.


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

@eilif
"but something in me wants to see them perched on top of cypberpunk buildings and landing pads. "
Oh yeah, that would be cool. I also like tables that look like desert or canyon style with scifi elements in it (WWX).
And sorry, i dont know where the radar dish is from. Just found it in a box of Lego i think, but nothing is "written" on it.
Do you have new terrain pieces?


After creating so much terrain, i thought it would be cool to see some new minis between it. The plan is to finish my own rulebook (but just for my non-wargaming-friends and me, in german language) so i have to paint 4 factions. Now i got my second faction finished (ok, will add some Cadia Kasrkin later on).

My version of TrueScale SpaceMarines (Bodies from Stormcast Eternal Paladins).

No new terrain pieces from me yet.  I've been doing alot of LEGO and playing Starcrashers with my son.

Really great job on the Marines. They look slightly Warzone'ish to me, but not at all in a bad way. These are the guys from Age of Sigmar right? Can they be assembled without the tabards?

Thanks guys.
Three spiky Chaos Marines are waiting to be painted, too.

@eilif
OK, now i saw your SpaceshipThread. Looks like fun! I should play X-Wing again.

Tabard and legs are together in one piece. You have to cut them off, but if so, you have to mold (mould) some areas around them. :/

Wow, those true scale Marines and that terrain was truly inspirational for me. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't stand normal GW Marines. Yours are truly incredible. I love the moody blue paint scheme.

Excellent. I like all the extra details, the posters on the wall and the reinforcing rods in the concrete.

Jan,
     Great to see you building again.  I love these. The tower is an awesome mix of tech with a hint of mezo-ancient look.  The relief detail on the walls is great also.
Great return!

 I’ve to see you back at it! These are great additions! :-*

Are these bought or self-made?

Thank you guys!  :)

These are all made out of foam. I have a foam cutter. However it is not that easy at the beginning.  o_o

Greets,
Jan
