Update WIP: Terminator Apothecary

Here is the arm I am working on for my terminator apothecary. Base is a chainfist with a Inquisition shoulder pad where the trim and logo cut off to leave the skull. I think I need to cut down the laser scalpel some more to make it look less like the pistol it started as. I also need to add the controls to the top of the fist with cables running down between the display and the probe which will be part of the smoke launcher. The probe is a scope with part of a krak missile added.

Here is the next stage with some basic controls added to the fist. Next to start the body.

  1. Hmmm, a very cool conversion mate. Although its not the point, I especially like what you've done with the Inquisition shoulder pad. Also its a great use of the old las pistol! I didn't recognise it at first.

    What are you planning on using the arm on?

  2. For the shoulder pad when I first start making my space marines about 3 years ago I did not recongize it so I used a few of them in the army without thinking about it. I have since done this to most of them to make a different looking shoulder pad since my marines are not involved with the Inq.

    As for the rest of the model, I wanted to make sure I got this part right before I cut the bottles off the apothecary chest plate to put on the terminator. He will probably just have a stormbolter/powerist since I prefer having more unique models over 1 highly upgraded one in small squad were multiple sets of wounds are likely.

  3. Nice work.

    I just made this very same thing myself but took the Terminator arm and mounted the actual Apothecary hand to it.

    I like that this has the powerfist.

  4. I am saving the apothecary arm and backpack for the bike command squad but I am going to uses the pieces off the chest plate since I do not think that will work with sitting poisition of a biker. I am planning on painting the 3 squares around the skull on this like you did on your biker.

  7. That's quite possibly the best TDA Apothecary arm I've yet seen. Good work!

  8. Great arm. The new touch of wireing and control box really brought it all together. I really wanna see this painted up on your termy. Good work.

  9. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out so far. It is going to be pretty deep in the painting line but maybe I can move it up.
