Here are some big 'Clix guys I have used for Space Marine alternatives in
one project before/. Basically,
I think bigger is a mandate for the 40K universe. You can see compared to
the reference SM that Crimson Dynamo is a size up. And he's not blocky, like
40K terminators. I'm sure there's an acutal thing this would be a good
proxy for in 40K, and I'm just filling out my Iron Snakes and really like
the design of this model. So, it's just that simple.
And simple conversion, too. The guy in the front got an extra clawlike
bit I had for and arm. The chaplain to his left (your right) got a golden
mace for spiritual motivation purposes, so I swapped his gun to the left
hand. The guy with the power sword also got the gun in the left. The
apothecary to your far left and the rest are righties. Two of them have
power daggers (or short swords) in their left hands. So in addtion to the
piecewise variety, I have five with close combat weapons and five without.
The guy with the claw is also on a bigger, actual 40K, base. Chappy has part
of the 'Clix stand there (which for some reason has a lot of glare in this picture
even though it is just flat black like the rest of the base). A couple
others had bits of base on the foot when I cut them loose. I shaved them flat, but
not flush with the foot resulting in some height variation. Yeah, I know they're
Space Marines. But they're my Space Marines. All in all, a nice squad of ten.
