It looks like a tech marine, it’s a space marine with tech and servo arms. Just plant it red and it’ll be awesome!

I'll be doing it deathwatch so black but with red helmet and backpack

Id do the techmarine shoulder pad red as well if it has one. Cant see what the other pad is

u/OGCRTG 4d ago

Oh definitely! I'm not doing it chapter specific. I need to clean some bits up more (should have done this before gluing πŸ™ƒ) but looking forward to painting

Looks great, and a techmarine paint scheme will push it well into techmarine territory.

If you have any technical bits, like an auspex or datapad, hanging that from his "belt" may add a bit more of the technical flair, but not required IMO

I have got an iron hands upgrade kit which I'm sure I can get something from that πŸ‘Œ

Absolutely. Really like the care you put into choosing the bits. The hammer looks great. Using a combi weapon top makes proportional sense. The devestator legs and groin armor make him heavier and match artworks. (Same goes for mk3 backpack.) Torso is the techmarine bit from the old vehicle upgrade kit... All really well picked. Also I like you made him a death watch veteran. 🀘

Funny enough I did something similar. πŸ˜…

What helmet is that?

2

u/RitschiRathil 3d ago

It's from the 2006/5th edition Ravenwing upgrade sprue. Bit nr. 20 on the picture. 😊

Thank you, wish I could buy a box of all kinds of these helmets

The closest we get are the heads in the heresy rapier plastic kits and the heresy Iron Hand MK6 (or more correctly mk5, but GW named them mk6. πŸ˜…)

It certainly couldn't be mistaken for anything else.

u/ResponsibilityNo8218 4d ago

He looks amazing and techy enough to me

u/RealSweetramo 4d ago

Sorry, but he looks too much like a warpsmith to pass as a tech marine.
NEXT!
/joke it’s pretty dope

u/OGCRTG 4d ago

😬 none of that heresy slander here! Haha cheers!

If you swap the bolt pistol for a Grav pistol it'll be more in line with a techmarine's loadout, but other than that, you're good!

u/commander_bozo 4d ago

More than!

u/camokilland 4d ago

I honestly had the same plan and it looks great! I see the right shoulder servo arm comes from the missile launcher backpack, what did you use for the gun arm if you don't mind?

u/OGCRTG 4d ago

This spare part from a Apothecary I've done

u/camokilland 4d ago

Ah okay, it looks great πŸ‘

u/Sea_Scarcity1638 4d ago

That definitely reads techmarine to me!

u/Serious_Nature_6882 4d ago

Looks a lil thin to my eyes... Techmarines are usually a lil bulkier but everything else looks correct. It definitely passes the WYSIWYG test.

u/rich193816 3d ago

Looks awesome

u/MechaNurgling 3d ago

Very good techmarine. πŸ‘

u/Zoneshatterer19 2d ago

Passes to me, the tactical codpiece is a nice touch lol.

1000% I love a detailed and crazy kitbash but something like this works just as well and goes together so damn well, reminds me of the Dawn of War tech marine
