i changed the last image to a link was it exceeded our 700x700 picture size limit- Terrorbore

Looking promising.

Nice feral look.

Colour scheme?

It better be Rasta!

I really like the idea and the mini is well done so far. Is it the first model finished, or do you have pics of the other minis?

Phew, another letter and you'd have to pay Stan Lee some royalties. But, all in all, great work. The only criticism I'll make is, tighten up the greenstuff finger joints on the claws, they look a little uneven and somewhat loose. Other then that, very well done

He's the 1st mini. I've always built/painted my leaders 1st, then builfd the rest of the force to compliment them.

The theme is not so must as Rasta as it is African. I'll be using heavy use of a Leopard/Panther motif.

Actually, I just started a slight remodel on him. as he is, his legs seem a bit too small(due to my cutting and reposing), so I'm putting him in a more "at the ready" type pose, silimar to Sicarius. I figure doing his pose that way will not only help with the leg issue, but allow me do a bit more modeling on his torso.

I think it would be a way cool as white panther chapter.
Loving the minis so far.

here is a link to keep you going.

the man the myth the legend

Well, here's the next conversion. My Captain on Bike:


I got the bits in the mail today, so I'll start building tonight(even though I just realized that I neglected to order a tire ). Anyway, this is the old sketch for him, if I can find the newer one, I'll post it.

That looks very very promiseing. What's the paint goig to look like?

Colour scheme:

I like the sort of hunched, stalking posture of your first marine. Could you post a few more shots of him from other angles?

I like the colors. I have never seen a brown space marine army before. I think it will look great.

Is that a power Iklwa in your Captains hand!? Right on.

Wow. One of the most original concepts I have seen in awhile. Keep this up, it looks great.

Glad you guys like the concept.
@AndyinUT: it's a cross between an Ikul and Iklwa, that will be his Relic Blade.

The army concept has kinda evolved into pretty and all bike force. So in between sculpting(I'll post pics soon), and waitng for bits orders to arrive, I've been toying with some other colour schemes, as I think the brown armour(as much as I like it)may blend in too much with the skin tones of the few non-helmeted marines.

Anyway what do you guys think of these:
Panther Look


Cheetah Look(since the army is all bikes)

Your original one is great. What you could do is use these others for squad types. Like the Cheetahs for Fast Attack or Lions for HQ's things of that nature. You keep the theme but you get to expand the look.

Just something to think about.
