Heru Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 This is my Chapter Master for my Black Falcons Chapter, who is also my namesake gamewise. He's made from a combination of kits namely the plastic Terminator boxset (Storm Bolter and Armour), the Terminator Assault Squad boxset (Lightning Claw), and a helmet from the Black Templar upgrade sprue. The Lightning Claw gamewise is the only master-crafted item that the Black Falcons have called the Falcon's Talon (Master-crafted Lightning Claw)* it'll be painted gold and silver to represent the fact it isn't just any old Lightning Claw. Sorry about already having the model primed, the sunlight though does help bring out the details. *See more on the Master-crafted items and the Black Falcons in my Nexus League thread at the Astartes Vocates DIY Chapter forums.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Looking good so far. Nice pose, very realistic and commanding. The only observastions I have are that being a chapter master should he have more decoration or possibly a backbanner? Also I would give the model another once-over before painting as I see a few mold lines still (mainly on the power cables). :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/103499-wip-black-falcon-chapter-master/#findComment-1187253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

feuer_faust Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Mold lines can be a bit jarring, and the extra effort really makes the difference. :wacko: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/103499-wip-black-falcon-chapter-master/#findComment-1187373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heru Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Looking good so far. Nice pose, very realistic and commanding. The only observastions I have are that being a chapter master should he have more decoration or possibly a backbanner? Apart from a backbanner and a dynamic base I don't really know what else I could add to the model without making it look cluttered. Also I would give the model another once-over before painting as I see a few mold lines still (mainly on the power cables). ;) You see I never see these other mold lines until I take I high quality picture of a base coated/painted model... better get the craft knife out...

primoris Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 It may be too late, but I would take the vent thing off the top of the helmet. Except for a few rare exceptions, PA helmets always look a little weird just stuck on a temi body. You should cange it a little, at least, if only because it's your chapter master. On a side note, you have almost an identical color scheme as my very first original marine chapter.

Heru Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I think I'll keep the vent, the helmet wouldn't be the same without it. Besides it's not any old PA helmet (man would those look bad...). Plus fluffwise it's an artificer armour helmet...
