Working on a project just for fun, it's going to be a diorama with one Female Marine from each of GW's "Big 11" chapters, plus one from my Buddy's DIY Chapter.

Enjoy.






Man, that's the joy of Anime! To revel in the complete and utter wastefullness of making an unstoppable nuclear-powered combat andriod in the shape of a cute little girl, who has the ability to fall in love and wears an enormous bow in her hair.

yeah,
Sounds awesome, can't wait to see it...
good start. I like some of the bits you've used, I can spot the dark angle, space wolf and black templar and I take it that the sally marine with be the one with the lizardmen bits?

Panic..

Edit: and the hammer dudette, is that your imperial fist?

Creativity is all well and good but I'm pretty certain there aren't any "Women of the Adeptus Astartes" just gonna throw that out there.

I like the models except the heads. They don't fit, some of them look like helmeted girls for wfb.

I was hoping this would be a joke and it'd be a beautifully modeled display base without any models on it but then I saw Dr. Thunder's username and just sighed.

Sorry. Not a fan at all. Creative Liberty of an existing idea is all well and good, but I think women Space Marines just takes it too far. Not to mention, adding a non-existant female to the ranks of the founding chapters is just plain wrong and rather lame. It's one thing to create your own Chapter or whatever, but changing the entire dynamic and background of the Marines is just overboard.

Sorry. Don't like 'em.

These things look to be in better proportion than the regular bare headed screaming marines!

The small heads make the power armour look MASSive!

Good job!

You mean adding non-existent females to the ranks of non-existent marine chapters I hope.

I mean you do know this is all made up right?

Right?

I'm surprised Doc Thunder managed to resist resculpting their breast-plates. He should be commended for that, at least.

You haters out there need to stop trying to control someone else's hobby.

I like them. My only criticisms would be to reposition the shield that looks to me like it's hanging a bit too low on Ms. White Scars crotch, and do something with the leather helmets to make them appear to fit in with the technology. I think if you can model some tiny wires and maybe get rid of the pointyness of some of them, and green stuff a little hair over them, you could turn them into something that looks like a brain-scanning harness to integrate better with the power armour.

I love the Salamanders girl.

Nice idea you have there, though I'd opt for changing the heads, so they're not all the same. And I've seen you're previous stuff on the BnC, which is just simply awesome imo
I'd just be careful of Trolls in this thread. Damn flamers....

Hear hear. I'm not a fan of the female space marine thing, but whatever. At least they don't look like the usual adolescent fantasy that he puts out.

He might finally be growing up.

That was the worst fething praise I've heard in a long time. Nicely done.

Jeebus considering this game is about screaming bald men fighting slightly spikier angry bald men atop piles of skulls I don't see how anyone can call anyone else adolescent.

Can't we all be geeks together?

I think that even though we all play a game about screaming bald men fighting slightly spikier angry bald men atop a pile of skulls, said bald men are all rolling their eyes at the guy in a corner going "tee hee boobs".

Look, almost every project this guy has put out has been centred around the same thing. Each and every valkyrie, guardswoman, black widow and whatever else I've missed, is the result of hours of planning. sculpting and converting oversized breasts. Think about that for a minute.

If you want to comment on other projects I've done, then the place to do that is in those threads.
Now, if you are going to spam every new thread I make with critique and commentary about my other projects, not only are you breaking forum rules, but you are bordering on internet stalking.

I know that you think these things you say need to be said, but they don't, and in your crusade to judge me creepy you are participating in behavior far creepier then anything you've accused me of.

Which is creepier? Which is more adolescent?
I think it's fair to criticize your obsession in a thread titled "Women of the Adeptus Astartes Diorama" in which you create yet another set of female SM. If this thread were titled, "Check out my biker Warboss/Carnifex" and the conversion involved anything NOT related to gender transformations, then I'm certain people would give you a break.

As it stands right now, you currently have TWO "give X Imperial Army boobs" projects on the front page of this forum at once. Don't bother telling people it's not relevant.


edit: Oh, and your avatar doesn't help things, either.

You have four posts on Dakka, all four of which consist of trolling my threads. How do you think that makes you appear?

Keep up the adolescent conversions. I like em.

A lot of folks online (and in emails in other parts of life) use pretty mangled English. The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm?

While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

At this stage, both sides have been presented and anyone reading this thread is going to have to make up their own mind anyway... so how about we just pretend that we've already had the 5-page discussion in which both sides just restate their position and find new and creative ways to malign the other side's command of the english language.

You can even pretend you won, if you like.

I think it's pointless trying to continue this discussion any further. The well has been thoroughly contaminated already. There's nothing as intolerant as nerds, after all.

Okay folks,

If you don't care for someone's modeling choices, feel free to tell them why in a polite way and be done with it. If you can't manage to do this without insulting them at the same time then you need to refrain from posting and consider using the 'ignore' feature on this person so you don't have to see their posts.


I play:
yakface's 40K rule #1: Although the rules allow you to use modeling to your advantage, how badly do you need to win your toy soldier games?
