I am going to try and work something out for that. If it does not go well he can just turn into a true scale marine as you suggested!

Fantastic work! Having worked with the Blightkings quite a bit myself (and in a far lazier way than you, by the look of it), I do have one nitpick: The spliced-in Terminator legs, arms and breastplate are all fantastic, but for the guy to really look like an actual Terminator, you'll need to add the characteristic neck and back portions for the "hunchbacked" look. Otherwise, your model will look amazing, but not like a Terminator, but rather like a true scale Marine.<br /><br />Now, personally speaking, I'd just go for the true scale look over the Terminators, seeing how your conversion seems quite seamless as it is, but I had to point this out -- sorry ;)<br /><br />Keep up the fantastic work!KrautScientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992997405409517857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-80573543854126782162014-11-13T10:04:51.905-08:002014-11-13T10:04:51.905-08:00Fantastic work, keep it up!Fantastic work, keep it up!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888716700793210046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-80451566502699492772014-11-13T05:30:17.096-08:002014-11-13T05:30:17.096-08:00Wow.

I think I will try and convert another terminator to wield the Reaper autocannon.<br /><br />The terminator will certainly be getting some work done on his back adding armour and the like. It is going to be a little tricky to pull off but I will figure something out. :)Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-89427957260471933752014-11-12T16:36:23.358-08:002014-11-12T16:36:23.358-08:00Thanks Mordian7th!

The armour I have currently still needs some more modifications to properly fit on the Blightking. I will look at modifying the chinguard a little more. It will probably help with the build.<br /><br />I was experimenting a little with different blades to attach to the autocannon earlier. Nothing I had used seemed to fit quite right. I will have to go back and try a little harder. A scythe-like blade could be really fitting.Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-84677384825188152082014-11-12T16:18:35.911-08:002014-11-12T16:18:35.911-08:00Thanks for the comment! I see what you are saying ...Thanks for the comment! I see what you are saying about the chest plate on the model. There is a fine balance between changing the model too much and not enough. I think I want something else on the front of him. The chest plate still needs some work if I want it to fit properly on the model as it is (his shoulders do not bode well with the terminator plate...).<br /><br />You are right about the back of the model. While I did not mention it in the post, I am planning to add some form of armour there. At this point I am leaning towards trying to use some of the venting and cabling from the back of the Catapharactii terminator armour.Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-16533045575257687652014-11-12T14:27:35.311-08:002014-11-12T14:27:35.311-08:00Great conversion.

I think chest plate and combi-flamer, as it gives more of a "nurgle" read than the heavy weapon, and the knife plus fist seems far too close combat orriented. <br /><br />I think it would also be interesting to have some sort of power pack on the back... maybe one half of what a standard terminator has, the other half rotted away...Lasgunpackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529298072677726064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-33075836453227238912014-11-12T12:24:25.460-08:002014-11-12T12:24:25.460-08:00Gorgeous bit of conversion there! ...If you can ca...Gorgeous bit of conversion there! ...If you can call a disgusting putrid terminator slopping out of his armor gorgeous. :)<br /><br />Absolutely great work, man - looking forward to seeing more!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-44824668557107502002014-11-12T05:34:58.882-08:002014-11-12T05:34:58.882-08:00Stunning conversion!

Good Greenstuff application too, it resembles the Obliterators at some points especially in the back. <br /><br />Magnetizing comes to mind if you're unsure of which weapon arm you'll use but aesthetically I think a large weapon (anything that's normally two-handed for a marine) would be fitting considering their huge bulk. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing paint on these menaces!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-8177915757836659982014-11-11T23:23:46.313-08:002014-11-11T23:23:46.313-08:00Great job!

Only suggestion would be to cut down the chinguard somewhat to give the head some more room. <br /><br />For armament I'd go with the autocannon but with a blade added near the muzzle to make it look more like a scythe.

That's where I'd concentrate my effort. Could you use the rear armour piece there leaving the front of the mini stock?LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769460904008281915noreply@blogger.com
