Sisters of Battle/Female Spacemarines for Space Crusade

Dont worry, these are not original SC figures.
Theyre a bit smaller then the  original ones.
Well suited for female marines.

[MortiS-the-Lost]

I can see they're not Space Crusade marines - they appear to be the same as the ones from the 40k 2nd edition boxed game, but in blue plastic.

You'll need to file down the helmets to the shoulders and drill out the neck a little before adding the heads

OMG! Transexual Space Marines!

[tallyho]

I dont think my female SM look that bad.
When it comes to female space marines or not, others are more qualified to answer that question.
I can see its being discussed in other forums.
I think theyre cool.

The possibility of Female Spacemarines is really a subject for the 40k background if people wish to discuss it.
personally I think chicks in power-armour is fine so far as the background goes (just I draw the line at them being genetically altered Spacemarines)

As for the models, I just think your conversions need a little more work than you've done so far

[tallyho]

Working on the weapons.

Not quite finished. Still some work to do.

[MortiS-the-Lost]

now the weapon conversions I approve of muchly

[tallyho]

And here they are. My firs conversion job. And great fun it was, using plasticard and green stuff.

[MortiS-the-Lost]

The paint job is not bad and the scratch built weapons look great - but I still think you could have done a little more work fitting the heads

have you had a chance to use them in game yet?

[tallyho]

Sorry to say, no. But im looking forward to try your SoB rules on SC.
For now its mostly painting and modelling. My next project will be the  Space Ranger figures for SC.
More pictures from a happy amateur; (comments please, good or bad ?)

What creatures from the Eye of Terror are these?!

Brilliant weapon customisations as well.

Great work. Ace. :)

Im afraid I have to agree with mort on this one, the concepts there but the heads need a bit more work to fit the models better, a little too high atm and seem a little devorced from the bodies, however with a little time I think these could look realy good, I do like the colour sceme, is it ur own or one youve picked up?

[messyart]

I dunno, the more I look at them, the more they seem to be merely.. Tall, rather than freakishly disfigured.

In other words, they're growing on me.
& the paint job is sweet man.

Thanks for all feedback people.
I think this got interresting. Not that im a expert on human proportions but i found this on the internet;
http://www.realcolorwheel.com/human.htm

And did some  measurements on my SoB figure using a ruler and thread, from foot sole to top head.
And came up with this.


The red lines are thread measurements.



The ruler gave me a total of 3.3 mm from foot to head.
But since the figure is slightly bendt by the knees, the thread gave me
1.7mm to bend line and 3mm to top shoulder and a total of 3.5mm.
Of course the figures correct from foot sole to shoulder armour, but also as far as i can see, topp head.

[tallyho]

Colour scheme came from Games Workshop.

[Dann_pickering]

Thinking about it men would have thicker brauder shoulders and women have lower set shoulders so yeah I suppose it does work, however is a shame that they would end up taller than your average sm. Personaly would have them daintyer like the previous image you showed as a ref.

[tallyho]

I agree on that. But it was a cheap and funny way to  get hold of some female SM.

[Marchomer]

I must admit that this conversion is cool, good paintjob and nice work on the weapons too. Yep... the height of the heads is the real problem, but it's a solvable problem, only a little bit more work.



^I think that this one is quite good
