Bionics

[Lt. Col. Hawkrin]

Hi everyone I was just wondering what you all use to represent bionics on your models.

My Veteran Sergeant will soon be getting bionics to stress their Veteran-ness... I was thinking a black splotch, with metal highlights would look good sorta like this.



Anyway any ideas are greatly apritiated.

[Mabus]

huh, nice, I'm liking the picture. I use a lot of SM helmetless heads to represent bionics.

take a hobby knife to the area where you're gonna bionic him up. make it look more like a physical seam between skin and steel.

[Lt. Col. Hawkrin]

Hey great Idea I'll have to remember that.

mm I well basically use a SM head and kind of remove a very small part of it or something and use greenstuff or a metal piece and make it look like bionice(I only cut when I need too). I usually do arms in bionics though so if you need help wit dat lemme know!

[Lt. Col. Hawkrin]

Any kind of Bionics will do. I was just generalizing by showing the face bionics. (those red glowing eyes are hella cool.)

[Cadian 117]

Well for legs I usually use a normal leg but I make it look kinda chewed up and metaly and for arms I use the spacemarine commanders sword arm. You could also use space marine legs and arms.

[Mabus]

Necron legs would be good too.

[Cadian 117]

Ya good idea.

[Deleted]

necron legs are the way to go. arms too. the SM stuff is WAY too bulky for guard.

[Cadian 117]

Some of it. The Commander arm is perfect just dont use the shoulder pad.

[Mabus]

I like the fact the SM bits are big and bulky, makes 'em look beefier.

[Commissar]

Yeah, a steroid pumped bionic 6 million credit IG sarge!
Sounds fun.

I use a mix of SM parts and Necromunda pit slave arms.

hmm when i did bionics last time I cut off the forearm and replaced with a Sm part and green stuffed the join so it looked like it was an enchment hope that helps

Here is an example of what i used as a bionic for my kasrkin veteran sergeant. Since i had two squads, i wanted to make this guy a bit more unique to the other guy pointing his little hellpistol out. I took a space marine arm from one of the assault marines and did a few cutting where his helmet used to be, and voila, bionic arm. I know it may seem a tad too big but i think that this vet. Sergeant can give one hell of a punch

[Deleted]

You can make that even cooler but cutting away chunk of the robo arm and put som greenstuff in the holes and use a knife to shape them as tightly packed wires and paint them in different colours.

[Commissar]

Yeah, space marine parts work well.
Very good parts.

[Deleted]

I use the space marine heads without helms.

My friend thinks that the helm makes the space marine so he gives me all the rest. ;D

Hmm this is probably waayy too expensive but servitor bits could work. Accually, my friend has some old servitors. Hmmm....mebbe I'll use bionics then.
