Skinnie venerable marauder

[DST23]

I just was curious if someone ever tried to build a skinnie venerable marauder. Since it was never fabricated from Mongoosepublishing some might have felt the urge to do so. Would this be a copyright violation to build one, or not? Just in case I would have done so, would it be a violation to post a picture of it here? I am not going to sell it anyway.

I thought it is a really cool figure. There is nothing comparable I found so far in other games, besides maybe that ugly Eldar war walker. Maybe someone else found some mini from other games which could be remodeled to be a SVM. Since MGP will not publish any new (or even old) minis I thought it might be nice to build some myself.

If you're doing it for yourself, then it's perfectly legal. If you're going to sell it as a skinnie venerable marauder, then not legal. but nothing's stopping you selling it as an alien mecha with a similar name.

Now it finally worked!!

Ok, here is my version. It is not painted yet, but everything else is finally in place. The legs are a little bit longer, than they were on images in books (you know where), but I wanted it to have more the skinny like look with long legs. The cannon on the left is also pretty big, but again I wanted it to look like having a big bang, as the laser on the other shoulder. Now I need to paint it. It is also nice, that one can remove the pilot, especially for painting.

should look good once finished

are you going to make more of these ? i always found one just wasnt enough for games for me.

yup from mechwarrior, no idea what exactly it was i just found it on ebay and ordered 4 of them.

the conversion just required the cliky a venerable some snips a knife and superglue, no special parts required, you could literaly churn these out all day.

Yes, I plan to make more of those. But this depends on my time schedule. It took me about 3 days to get to this stage and for a decent painting I would say it takes about 2-3 days more with all the drying steps. Since I only got the weekends for that, it might take a while until I can do another one. And then I got some Grizzlys as well, which I have to put together and paint em. I applied some magnets to them as well as to the weapons, so I can swap them in whatever configuration I want, which is quite nice for trying some tactics. But again it needs time to adjust the atlas rig to the magnets.
