First, the new!
The marines haven't changed a whole lot from the first game to the second. These are still the first - and often the last - line of defense for the Terran forces. The look has changed a little from the first game, but not a whole lot.
The head, helmets and legs are standard minifig parts. But to get the shoulder pats the way I wanted them, I had to brick-build the torso. Using a 1x1 brick with studs on all sides, I attach a simple tap piece. I put a helmet on there, and then I jam a Bionicle minifigure arm through the visor opening in the helmet and onto the tap. The result is a fairly articulate minifigure with massive shoulderpads. The figures are finished off with two more of the same type of bionicle arms to form the tanks on the back.

Other Creations:
Since I posted these before, I won't say too much about these.
Terran Banshee
This was the first of my SC creations, about a month ago. The banshee is an air-to-ground unit that can cloak itself for battle.Terran Hellion
I followed that with two of these fast-attack land vehicles. These have flamethrowers perched on top.Protoss Immortal
Just before the forums shut down I finished this creation. The Immortals are similar to the old dragoons but cannot hit air targets. However, they have much better armor.Protoss Zealot
I'm still working on this one - not too happy with it yet.That's all for now! I've got a lot of positive responses from this from all over the world, so I'm certainly not through yet! In the next few months I hope to create many more units from the upcoming game.
See you next time!
