Space Marines?

Post by __Nero__ » Tue Sep 02, 2008 3:53 pm

Ok, so for all of you that play warhammer 40k you know what space marines are. I think they are perfect for Brikwars. So, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a minifig scale Space Marine?
Here is a pic if you don't know what they look like...

Stormtrooper bodies, the regular helmets that have the tubes going around the front with the one stud on them, and a backpack.

Or at least that's how I would do it.

Ahhhh Space Marines.... When somone maks the fig here are some stats...


Cp:10
Armour: Roll a D6. On a 3+,the space marines excellent power armour takes the shot/swordslash.
Move:4"(all that heavy armour)
Skill:1d10


Accerios:
Jump Pack: The jump pack enables the space marine to move up to 15".
Termanitor Armour: This reduces the space marines move to only 2" a turn.
HOWEVER, the may teleport up to 24",but may not shoot or assault that turn.
Also,they may take a assault cannon,(mini-gun) and a thunder hammer(big ass hammer that shoots lighting)
Chaplin: The Chaplins Zealous athourity wiht the Emporos(Spelling!) will makes all space marine units move an extra 6" wihtin a 12" radius of his person.
i just use stromtroopers/clone pilots in the 501st Cadian winter combat/zero g enviroment troops arming them with close combat wepons and jet packs.(ocasnially)
Yes the speeling(:wink:) is bad.

Space marines need average move, I mean they may wear heavy armour, but they're so strong the don't even realize it's heavy.

I just need to know how to build them which it seems like no one knows how to make a good one.

yeah your right...

also,i think they need to be able to take at least 2 hits,because...

They have extra organs and stuff like that.

Now,we need a dreadnought.

well classic space is almost exactly the space marines if you just use your imagination a little.


an expensive and time consuming example is here

Dude, that's intense. Not exactly what I was going for, but seriously ossum.

Still... for the basic trooper, you'd need those helmets mentioned by OneEye589, but for the basic body you'd need the StormTrooper DECALS, on differently colored bodies (dark green for Dark Angels and such). Also, for the packs on their backs you'd want mod'd jetpacks, so that they look like the Space Marine ones, with the weird bulbous things on the ends and such.

But after that, it wouldn't be too hard. Somebody else can get the vehicles and stuff, I suck at making good replicas.

Older Brikwars incarnations are loaded with 40k references, for example: Well, can't find it at the second. Lego Wars (the precursor to modern day Brikwars), was clearly a bit of a spoof of 40k, too. as it's nearest successor, check out Bw1998, found here: http://www.brikwars.com/rules/1998/

I'd find them myself, but I'm supposed to be off...

You'd probably have to do a bit of painting to make this work. A must is the helmet mentioned twice here, and you could probably use either pilot goggles with a solid red head behind them, or a standard visor with the red eyes painted on it. Of course, I don't think anyone makes pauldrons as ridiculously large as Games Workshop, but Brikforge does have some round ones. Brikforge also has those nifty MegaGuns and a generic space marine armor that would work pretty well. The space marine helmet they sell is Master Chief style, though, so you wouldn't want that for this project.

EDIT: Actually, the pilot goggles probably wouldn't cover the whole face, so those might not work after all.

Well, I doubt you're going to get anything that looks as close as anyone wants it to be without some HEAVY modifications. I say just go with the simple things that can come together to at least make it similar.
