As you can see the heavy weapon marine for my tactical squad has been given knealing legs (from the command squad set I think). Firstly I think it adds some real variety to the squad in term of height and pose. Secondly it just seems more natural, I wouldn't want to try and fire something that big from a standing position.
Again he just has the DA shoulder pad to which I'll add freehand to make into the Astral Knights chapter badge. I'm thinking of adding extra equipment to the left thigh, maybe spare missiles or just a pistol holster etc.
Love the pose! There's something about the kneeling marine isn't there. These guys are really coming on.
ReplyDeleteThis is about the 3rd time I've tried to comment on this post, given up trying to on the flamer marines, hope it works!
Cheers for the effort ieuan! I do like the variety it gives to the squad. The standard legs just don't look as if they are positioned to deal with firing a massive great missile launcher.
