Total War 98 Sternguard Veterans Conversions

This is my attempt at making Sternguard Veterans. I have converted them from basic marines using bits from the command squad, Tactical Marines, Marine Commander, Black reach terminators, Dark Angels Veterans, Terminators (shooty box), and assault marines. Lots of random bits I guess. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching.

is the guy with the sheild and sword usable in games? im thinking of starting a space marine army but i want to know a little bit more about their gameplay before i buy the codex"

@DangerousGazes I built that character to use in a different codex but it can be used. It is either a combat shield with close combat weapon or a power weapon and a Storm Shield... or some combination of those four things. in short, yes it can be used. If you are interested in learning before you buy. There are a lot of videos on youtube that can teach you the basics. You can always go to your local game shop and ask for a "demo game" most respectable game shops will show you how it is done.

nice conversions, but if it were me, i would have put them with running legs from the assault squad sprue and dont more dynamic poses, like marines looking down the sight of their gun

@thisguybrybry Thanks for the comments. I had considered the running legs, but the Sternguard, to me at least seem more like the calm and confident soldier of a 1000 campaigns. Taking his time and planting each round where it will serve the best.

I see the Vangaurd veterans as more of the "race in and tear em' up" sort.

again, NICE WORK, I hope to soon be making some sternguard vets, and this is great inspiration...

I came up with a bolt pistol hand to replace the pointing finger, and a Power Sword arm that I magnetized to change out with the chainsword... on AOBR Sgt. fixed up... I might just replace the other with another model entirely... Nice job... I may have to just buy one extra tactical squad box for bits and extra dudes... thanks again for the vid...

I want your bitz box.

[axelsfolks]

awesome job, I wish I had more bits.... LOL

any chance you build figures on commission?

I need a tactical Sgt.... or bits to convert mine, any interest in selling some SM bits... I need a Storm Bolter and Powerfist Sgt... or Sgt. arms other than just AOBR style pointing finger and chainsword... I'm also looking for a Meltagun marine and a Multimelta Marine.... AWESOME JOB!!!!!

@ahultahuaskar I was responding to LosArxidos question. He asked if Dark Angels can use Sternguard. The old GW FAQ failed to give a definitive yes/no on Dark Angels using units from the Marine Codex. Yes, If you are playing codex Marines you can use anything in the codex. His question was not about codex marines but Dark Angels, and GW still says "You can ask your opponent" if you can use units from the Space Marine Codex in your Dark Angels army. Thanks for the post.

@Shiznaft1 There are no restrictions in using them. They're in the codex and you don't have to ask your opponent to use them. The dark angels codex does not include sterngaurd, but they do have veterans. Which are similar except they don't have special ammunition.
