[Emerald Fists] Converted Centurions Complete

My minor centurion converion is done.  I think they look way more like dreadnoughts this way and that was my intent.  The arms are on magnets so they can be swapped easily.  These models really grew on me.  I left the groin guard off so that they'd appear to have a little bit more mobility. 


I have no idea what the shoulder symbol is supposed to be but I assume it's important since it resembles the crux terminatus.  I tried to make this look like some sort of stone and to add to the effect I painted some cracks on them in random patterns.  One of them doesn't quite look the way I wanted but I'll let that pass. 


When viewed from all angles these start to look a lot better (I like seeing the marine inside appearing to step into the exoskeleton).


Grav glow!




I thought I should include a scale shot.

  1. Generally I am not the biggest fan of the centurions. I like what you've done here with the conversion. They definitely look more like dreadnought tactical armor then the mishmash standard look. It's a subtle change, but I think it adds a lot of vertical height to them (by pulling in the arms) and makes them seem leaner and more intimidating at the same time.

    1. I agree; the model usually looks silly with the gorilla arms. Before they looked quite impractical and unable to move at all. While still a bit unwieldy I think they have a glimmer of possibility now haha.

      I was looking back, I can't believe I built these in February. Nearly a year turn around on painting them is pretty bad.

  2. What a good work! And also let me tell you that the marine in the scale shot is awesome! Just inspired me to do something similar but more wolf-style hahahaha. Keep doing great job!

    1. That whole command set is a nice cast from forgeworld. I'm hoping they do a specifc Imperial Fist one too.
