Hiya,

The other day I encountered a scenario where I wanted all LC termies, then later on I fancied another game with my TH/SS termies. So Should I buy extra terminators for all scenarios?
No.... If you remember my post before - Magnets!!!!

So since I save money by getting AoBR terminators then modding them into what I want, I decided to save more money by getting the few bits and magnetising arms!

I magnetised:
7 Storm Bolters
1 Flamer
5 Power Fists
2 Chain Fists
1 Power Sword
2 Sets of Lightening Claws

Hiya,

Today I finished up the conversion process of my AoBR terminators.

I now have, 2 TH/SS (custom built), 2 LC (ordered from bits&kits), 1 chainfist (so so easily done) and my HQ Belial or aka Klaxxon.

With Klaxxon, I decided to use a normal aobr terminator, I cut his waist (a practice I did on a few random squad members to adjust the poses) then turned him, oh so slightly.
I got the feathered helm from bits and kits and simply stuck it on the side.
I really didnt know if I liked the outcome and toyed with the idea of putting them in various positions, I finally settled with the good old, timless decision making phrase... Fuck it.

I greenstuffed his lioncloth and a cloak in the motion of blowing backwards, as if standing against the wind. Unforntunatly in the camera shots you cannot actually see the cloak.
I also greenstuffed a pair of feathers which sit on his shoulderpad.

I grabbed a random chainsword and cut the very tip off and stuck it under his stormbolter to give his bolter a bit more character. I then gave him the deathwing sword.

Also used some slate from the beach, for more free basing ideas check out Ron's post here.

Once I have painted him I will give you angles so you can see the details, but for now a simple close up....

So I wanted have some assualt terminators.. but I wanted to save money... I was going to convert my lil terminator's from standard AoBR Power fist and Storm bolter to.....

So I decided I'd first do a pair of chainfists, this was easily done in two very quick steps.

• I cut the chainsword handle off, then the actual chainsword into two pieces using my craft knife.
  
• I then attached the chainsword segments to the bottom of my fists, just against the power supply where it joined the power fist, I used simple plastic glue for this part.
  

Bam, chainfists within seconds :D
easy, simple and fast!

Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield.

I then decided to get a little bit more adventurous.
I got some plastic tubing and plastic card.
I used again my plastic glue, craft knife, file and for the plastic tubing a pair of clippers I use for removing my models from the sprue.

Shield.

• On the plasticard I drew out a storm shield using the space marines codex book as a rough guide in size.
• I then cut along the card carefully with my craft knife. The card was a little thick so I cut heavily a square around the actual shield then did the detail afterwards. I was unable to cut straight through so I would cut a groove then carefully "snap" it off.
  
• I then attached a little bit of space marine icongraphy, in particular my dark angel symbol and some incense using a bit of glue.
  
• I then filed the power fist to be a bit flatter.
• I then carefully glued the plasticard stormshield to his arm.
  

Thunderhammer

• I carefully cut away the storm bolter (so I was able to use it in the future), and filed a opening in his hand for him to hold the plastic tubing.
• I took a length of tubing and clipped it using the clippers then filed the ends to even the surface.
  
• I then stuck a melta grenade at the bottom of the rob to give it a pommel, just for looks ;)
• I then cut two Ork Nobz chain axe's and filed them down, I then stuck the pair back to back to be the "hammer".
• I added a bit of dark angels icongraphy and bam, I have a thunder hammer.
• I then got some greenstuff and gently rolled a cable, randomly attached it to the hammer and to an arm joint.
  

Slapped it all together and dada!
