Converting Dark Vengance Terminators

[vecuu]

I've recently stumbled upon a super cheap bundle of Dark Angels Terminators from the Dark Vengeance starter. So, other than the 5 I already have assembled, I will have 35 other unassembled Deathwing single-pose Terminators.

The thing is, I don't simply want 8 versions of each model: I would rather have them all have some unique flavor. Unfortunately, I have next to zero experience in the conversion department, and have no idea how to go about changing poses and other assorted aspects of push together models.

Does the Hive have any useful advice? This is pretty uncharted territory for me.

Get a jewelers saw and start repositioning their arms and maybe even legs.

Are you painting them up as Dark Angels or something else? What does your bits box look like?

I haven't 100% decided whether I'm going to attempt the white Deathwing style or not, although they will be ran as a DA detachment. My Marine bits box is a little bare, with access to a handful of Tactical Terminator leftover Power/Chainfists (no storm bolters). I also have a friend who's willing to donate a couple TH/SS bits if I wanted to mix and match at all.

Cool tip on the jeweler's saw, shiwan. I'll be on the lookout for a decent deal on one shortly. A more coarse blade to use it as a coping saw would be helpful as well, as I have some thin wood to cut up to build my area terrain bases.
