Continuing work on a long overdue project, I’ve been working on more Mark V marines for a client wanting an entire army of them. Most of the squad is in the progress of being assembled, but I pieced together the sergeant trying to figure out his pose and get a pic at the same time.

I always think Lightning Claws make a model difficult to pose, especially when wielded in pairs. In this case I’ve tried to point them both in the same direction but with one drawn back which gives it a balance of sorts. The claws came from the Chaos Lord boxed set with the thumb claws trimmed off and replaced with normal powerfist thumbs to help lose the Chaos styling.

I’m not certain about the leg raised in the air. I was trying to give the impression of him stamping down with it, but I’m not 100% sure about it yet, so I may reposition it.

Almost the entire squad have had their feet replaced with greenstuffed feet (using a silicone putty one piece mold – I should probably show a pic of this at some point). This should make running and landing poses far easier to make and provide some variation amongst the squad.

I’ll also be trying to implement Doghouse’s method of converting Power Armour arms for these Actual Scale models. I have a feeling this will be rather difficult, but his turned out very nicely and all the assault weapons I need for the squad are already attached to the arms.
