Brother 'Ussell Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Thought I'd post a quick WIP shot of the Templars Marshal I just started. I've been contemplating doing this one for a while now so yesterday I finally sat down and started it. It's still very WIP as you can see, but I think I've captured the essence of the pose I was going for, he will have a outstretched sword of some kind in his left hand. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/Brother_Ussell/Marshal1.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/Brother_Ussell/Marshal2.jpg comments and suggestions please :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmato Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 So far so good :devil: Whats the base made of that he's standing on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 It's a plaster of paris casting of a rock. It's from a bunch of molds that I got that are used in model railroad building, quite handy actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Nice mock up. I've seen the Woodland Scenics rock molds for years, but haven't bought one yet. I just might have to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominar_Mortis Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 the pose kind of reminds me of the horrible cassius pic in the SM codex please please please make it look better than that! :D as for the rest of him i invision a storm bolter on the right at a rest position, pointy end facing the ground and a commading sword arm out-streched in front, possible flat of the blade parrelle to the ground DM ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

major_panic Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I dunno... I reckon a right arm pointing a sword straight upwards or downwards with a left arm pointing out in the direction he's looking would be pretty good. Although the pointing-sword-with-big-gun-in-other-hand pose would suit him perfectly too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Christian Koehler Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Fantastic start! Personally, I think I'd do something like the classic, Conan pose, sword held high in the air, as if just having captured the ground upon which he stands. However, the pose you're talking about sounds absolutely lovely! The combi-weapon is probably your best bet for fun modelling and painting opportunities. Good luck! BCK +EDIT+ Internet filter.. grr..

Brother 'Ussell Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Here's a quick shot of the progress so far, http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/Brother_Ussell/Marshal3.jpg A bit more work on the pose, the "foundation" layer of greenstuff and some work to the base. I've changed the torso a bit, instead of the collared breastplate i've switched to one of the Templar tabbard fronts and kept the cloaked back, I didn't want to hide any of the detail of the face behind the collar and also it's a looking down type stance and the collar was in the way. For something different I've decided to make a combi-flamer as his weapon along with a power sword. As you can also see by the photo I've started a raised border to the greaves, I'm hoping to sculpt as much as I can to create a convincing set of Artificer armour.

Master Chaplain Astador Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Is this going to be the start of a new crusade?? Anyway, the model itself looks great so far, can't wait to see more. Cheers, MCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
