synapse Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 It just seems to me that these guys are beyond 'truescale', and verging on pointlessly-large-scale. Not to discredit the work put into them, but they do seem God-awfully huge compared to normal GW models. (that termie is over 2x the size of that guard!) i have mentioned this various other times, though ill say it again :lol: : after making the first model (which was not intended as a gaming model but a display piece, i liked the result so much i decided to make an army of them. it was only after the first 5 were finioshed that i realised they were a bit too big, but by that point i though what the heck, and carried on. regarding the terminator - he is standing on a pretty high rock, and youre proably counting all the armour above his head with the height of the model, which is, of course, armour, not his body. YES he is too big, though he is not twice the size of a guardsman also, i have added spacers to the legs and hips of the guardsmen in this army to get them a looking a bit more proportioned - the GW cadians, while lovely models are just too sqiat for my liking Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/11/#findComment-1713745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hooray! This thread isn't dead. Glad to see you're still making oversized manslayers. That one marine holding up the human looks really close to what I want to do with my TS WE.

Shiodome Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 not really given to hyperbole, but these really are my favourite of the truescale conversion i've seen on this site. you've created something really nice for yourself here.

synapse Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 update so ive been playing around with the bases and have come up with this: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1584.jpg which i prefer to the original colour which would ahve been the same shade as the imperial army dude fatigues which just would not do! and whats this?: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1583.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1582.jpg current WIP on the dread. still a way off but getting there. though of course these models are only 75% done until i get the weathering and blood effect on them. suffice to say the dread's chain fist will be mostly red, as will a lot of its torso and legs (this is also partially to cover up the bad parts of the GS, to make the torso look smoother than it actually is! im a sneaky git! oh yeah another scale shot: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1586.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/11/#findComment-1717504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Good god, it's even bigger than I thought!!! Nice basing scheme... interesting to see how even the edge of the base cannot contain your Chaplains fury. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/11/#findComment-1717507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Caldera Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Holy crap I knew these were big but I had no idea just how huge they are! What rules will you use to represent them being so unbelievably awesome?

synapse Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Holy crap I knew these were big but I had no idea just how huge they are! What rules will you use to represent them being so unbelievably awesome? um.. the marines will be using grey knight terminator rules (possibly honour guard; which means ill be able to use the kick ass marneus calgar rules for the chaplain terminator leader) the dread is more difficult. the best i can think of is an ironclad dreadnought (as its armour 13/13/10 and has a chainfist option) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/11/#findComment-1718161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

synapse Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 update ive started blocking in some colours on the banner - that shape on it is the start of a planet. above will be a big red maw with writing and honours on it; below it will be (hopefully) flames and pile of skulls, all freehand http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1587.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/11/#findComment-1718477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 That banner will be very cool and I can't wait for it to be done. I use the same base that you put your HQ on and I love them a lot, it also gives a nice spot to put a name. :cuss That dread is just frekkin' HUGE, it's really unique and there's no doubt in my mind you'll get 10's accross the board on that guy.
