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.....

AoBR Termies

Chainfist's

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.

"For the Lion!!"
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!

Cheap AoBR Conversion, TH/SS termie.

I did this for a couple of termies, and bam, Assault TH/SS termies for the price of plasticard, tubing and AoBR termies.

What termies did you convert?

Roll on Belial...

Attack Bike

I got a gift from Drazilek at the Sons of Seth today.

An attack bike!

Cheers Drazilek.

I eagerly unwrapped it and got my sprues.

Fairly simple, bike on one and side car and extras on the other.
I whipped the bike together then whacked on my biker.

I then glued the arms and whilst they were drying I pushed his hands onto the handlebars to ensure I dont get a repeat of what I call "ghost riding"....

I slapped together my sidecar but stopped before I put the biker on, I glued it to the main bike and I've paused at this stage.

Brum brum, zoom ZOOM!

Ive paused to made it easier for myself to paint him. I think when I paint the bike, Ill paint my other attack bikes, repair them and aim to finish an entire Ravenwing Squadron at once.

I like bikes....
