The answer was, of course, both.
Although with minimal alterations, the female space marine is likely to be finished first.
As the "new" combi-weapons come with 1 bolter and 4 top options, I have cast extra bolter parts to make use of them all (eventually).
The Sanakan Necron is in the process of re-posing. I'm aiming for the ref' pose on the left, with the S-shape of the right.
Selected head from a Dark Eldar Wych, with the top knot removed.
Bonus, late in the day wip.
Miss Space Marine is now on her base.
I cast up a hollow helmet rather than drilling out the solid helmet.
She has now moved to the painting desk.
@DrH fantastic conversions. I have to say that while I love the lady space marine head generally, I absolutely love the beret!
@evilkipper Thanks. The heads came with the berets on. A sprue of 4 from crooked dice that I got from Bad Squiddo Games while picking up other things.
A couple have the hair tied up (like this one), and one comes with a separate ponytail (wasted on a space marine, it wouldn't be seen).
The arms are now on the Safeguard Necron, and the torso has been cropped to leave room for a waist.
That's the basic framework, now to add a ton of details.
Female Space Marine is now all one colour and ready for painting.
I decided upon Red Legion as the chapter for this marine.
Mainly because of the cool chapter symbol that fits well with my army theme (with fire representing entropy and chaos).
That means Red armour.
And to hopefully distinguish it from the Blood Angels marine I already have, I used blues to shade and highlight a different red (mixing in a dark / light blue into the red).
Onwards.
