Space Hulk -> Red Scorpion Command Squad

[Ferro]

Per the Badab Campaign rules, Commander Culln may have a Terminator Command Squad. The fancy new models in Space Hulk are a perfect fit!

In fact, the Sergeant makes a decent Culln--at least he actually has a Relic Blade and not the tiny power sword FW gave him:



It goes without saying that all the BA icons are cleaned off. They'll be replaced with skulls, eagles, etc. where appropriate.



The Command Squad Apothecary is below. He's the perfect model for this, as kneeling is a traditional pose for customized Apothecaries... and I had absolutely no need for a dude ripping up the floor:

His left arm will be a kitbash of the plastic apothecary arm.

Great sculpting! I've been trying to convert the space hulk terminators also, but getting that kind of precision is tricky. How did you make your shoulderpads?

I know the one in the first pic is a Forge World shoulder pad. They have an extensive Red Scorpion range.

How did you make your shoulderpads?

Yeah, ummm... I have a secret supplier of high quality resin products. I didn't sculpt those (though I did scrape off the circles on some of them).

Still, it took a lot of cutting to grind down the red shoulders, not to mention the entire left half of the kneeling mini.

Brilliant work. I was wondering about all that cutting and filing because I'm trying to redefine the terminators for SH as well. What have you used to make such clean cuts and such such tricky angles?
Any tips would be tremendously appreciated.

One of these and a decent selection of cutting/grinding bits = win. The small, fine work must be done by hand though with a good sharp razor knife.

Finished the first one:

Very nice indeed, any chance of a frontal pic?
