The initial plan was to use the plastic librarians figures somehow I'd collected a bunch. They just needed some visors sculpted to give them a more TMNT feel.
Then I figured I needed a sergeant, and who better then Splinter, so I tracked down an AHQ plastic skaven head.
Here they are painted in my signature comic style.
Lopez gave me the idea of sculpting tiny pizza's on the shoulder pads.
Then I added some TMNT humorous graffiti from the cartoons.
Ready to burst from the sewers to take on genestealers near you!
Sgt. Splinter will lead the squad to victory.
Leo will be his right hand man.
Raph is just ready to kill genestealers.
Donnie will use his brain over brawn wherever he can.
Mikey is just gonna yell Cowbunga a bunch.
Captain Crooks mentioned that I needed pizza's on the bases. I didn't have time for that, but I did have a better idea. Instead of flame templates, Sgt. Splinter will shoot pizza templates!!!!
Finally still on the subject of food I needed an objective marker for Friday's Realm of Chaos game. What better then a tiny Hamburger with old school mushrooms to represent the International Combat Burgers Bar and Grill!
What an hilarious concept Tom :D
ReplyDeleteLopez was right in the money with the pizza chapter markings too. A very unique and cool squad.
Great job :)
It was a good mention, and then Crooks mentioned more pizza. So that's where the idea for the flame templates came from. Just used my pizza flinger pizza's. ;)
Delete😱😂 yeah! It def needed to be done!!! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA Thanks INquisitor....I'm glad I got them done in time.
DeleteHu hu (^_^) these Termiturtle are excelents, chapter Nico approved!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nico, I'll message you about the load out.
DeleteMan this is pure! Cowabunga dude!
ReplyDeleteThanks Doc, Bossa Nova Dude
DeleteMore inspired madness! I love how your mind works, Tom.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated Bryan. ;)
DeleteNot only is this the most badass terminator crew but It's 4 combat weapons out of 5. This is going to be savage MWAAAAAAH !
ReplyDeleteI'm excited. I need to talk with Nico about the load outs. I'm just planning on the Leo and Don having Power swords.
Deleteok, you had me at TMNT, but the sculpted pizzas on the shoulder pads,
ReplyDeleteOMG...
Credit for those goes all to Lopez
DeleteHaha, I didn't see this coming! You made my day with these :D
ReplyDeleteGlad to help there Suber. ;) To be honest I didnt either, it just sorta happened. LOL
DeleteThis is completely and utterly inspired. Playmates did loads weird Turtles action figure sublines, and it's feasible that they did Turtles Space Marines just after they did the infamous Star Trek Turtles line.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh.
And the pizza as a flamer template.
Oh my gosh.
Oh.
Oh my.
HAHAHAHA The perfect reaction. ;) I think there were TMNT Spacenauts or something. I'll have to do research now.
DeleteFab stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks Riot
DeleteI must have been deep in BOYL panic when this came out. I remember seeing it at the time. Great stuff all around.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean T! It's busy out here in the blogosphere we miss things once in a while. ;)
