synapse Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 i need to sharpen the details on the bottom edges of the chest, then its ready for whatever it is i come up with! at this stage, i have no idea! and the legs need (of course) knees and the from part of the armour, and some more rods the knees will have a skull shrine on them., taken from the BT upgrade sprue, and i might do somehting similar to the shins Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1531336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 this is so awesome! I love your conversions they always turn out to be wicked, and the one sounds like the best yet. This is crazy-sick-awesome-madness! *proceeds to run around the house and scream, jumping in ecstasy* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1531365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falk Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 What I don't like about the termi is the shoulderpads. But it's not your fault, I simply don't like the pre-heresy shoulderpad, they're so large and kinda flat that they screw up the proportion of the whole guy, making him look thinner than he actually is. Also, while the original design may be that way, I would make the neck protection more bulky, as there doesn't seem to be much space for his collarbones (ok, workability of the termi armour has never been that great anyway :) ). Except that, congrats on those truescale marines, they look really impressive :) . (What about a heavy-plasma guy ? You'd use a Forgeworld dreadnought arm ? :) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1531383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not your fault, I simply don't like the pre-heresy shoulderpad, they're so large and kinda flat that they screw up the proportion of the whole guy, making him look thinner than he actually is. if anything i think the pads i used make his top section look too wide! i was thinking of shaving off 1.5mm off of each to bring them in again. and i agree about the look of the pre hersy shoulder pads. im not a big fan of them, but i wouldnt be caught dead with normal pads in a pre heresy army! Also, while the original design may be that way, I would make the neck protection more bulky, as there doesn't seem to be much space for his collarbones (ok, workability of the termi armour has never been that great anyway :) ). not quite sure i understand what you mean. the collarplate covers the guys face up to just above the nose. or do you mean adding detail likea ridge? if its the latter, im planning on doing something though am waiting for the basica body shape to be done first Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1531423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 UPDATE before i get to the pics, let me point out whats missing from this: the ends of the tassles; thicker soles on the shoes; banner; lion head; cloak; purity seals. which must all wait unti lthe rest is dry. i like the loincloth, though it covers the thighs which i was really pelaaed with. the legs i really like, and are inspired by the chaplain i made for my angels of censure) though unfortunately his pose means theres those unsightly gaps between the first and second skulls... which sucks. maybe ill cover them with purity seals etc. im pleased with the crozius, even though the teeth are not equal in size, but that wont matter once its covered in blood the chest probably needs something else on it but i really cant think of much and the feet really arent that small. really. its the angle! anywho: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1084.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1085.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1531999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maratheus Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Vurry nice! I think the leather straps could be a little longer under the shoulderpads. If you are adding the lionhead, you could paint the fur and stuff like it has been covered in blood and washed many times so it could have a reddish tint in it if you get my meaning. Also, if you don't know what to add to the chest, maybe give it a few rows of rivets or studs? I think it would fit the gladiator feel of the World Eaters. Other than that he's looking very promising. Oh and I also saw you mention Garro somewhere but couldn't relate it to any specific model.

synapse Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 the leader i made was meant to be garro, even though the armour and weapon are different. and my thoughts exactly regarding the lion/pelt!

synapse Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 not really part of the WE army (actually its a blood angel im making) though i though i might as well show it off here since i used in a scale shot earlier on and few people mentioned it: i still need to work on the left arm, the bling, and more details on the cloak C&C, as always, more than welcome, as are suggestions. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1088.jpghttp://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1090.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1091.jpghttp://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1089.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1533388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 why not look at some GW chaplains for chest inspiration? some things you could add are like scalemail, scrolls, purity seals, imperial eagle, skulls, rib bones and well. more shulls perhaps? it looks awesome so far, except for the loin cloth. IMHO bloodstained scroll/paper tabard would look better.

IMHO bloodstained scroll/paper tabard would look better. qft. personally i would have preferred a normal loincloth (like the GW termie chaplain one) but since this guy's pre heresy and a WE i wanted to keep the more traditional roman tassle-style (same with the shoulder pads) http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1092.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1095.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1097.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1533820 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiplash Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 now thats what i call intimidating is that the dread ur using or are you uber scaling that as well? i like the way the trophy head worked out suits the model the blood angels guuy is cool aswell although his sheath isnt quite straight, very cool pose though (whats gonna be in his left hand) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1534084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 pose is a little awkward - might want to consider how his feet are placed on the base to get a more standing/preaching feel than the walk in the park (or battlefield) feel. The lion is amazing and adds so much to the model, Nice sculpting on that. May I ask where in the warp do you lions THAT big!!!???

brother Hastatus Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Amazing... I went on to the last page and thought I recognised the style. Then went on to the 1st and saw the other ones. They were on the old Pre-heresy website weren't they? Which disappeared one day... You are amazing at sculpting! The models poses are really good too, which really helps. And then you paint them really well.... Good at everything.... Well done! I love these true scale style models!

synapse Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 wish i knew how to multiquote... but here goes :D @ WIPLASH: the left hand of the blood angel is gong to be holding on to the scabbard. and its not straight because the sword is partially out of it, but yeah, its probably too bent :P the dread im making will be about 50% scratchbuilt/50% GW parts plundred from about 5 different vehicle kits! the lion, i guess is a mutant that bred naturally from terran 'imports' on some far flung world... or something! lol in the more recent pics you can see the milliput 'base' i gave him, to change the pose a bit, to make it look more natural. he will later be stuck to a prvateer press-style 50mm base (the normal marines will be remounted on similar but 40mm bases) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1534381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
klown Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hey Synapse Great work, this is how marines should look Working up a test mini at home using your technique and while the legs are straight forward enough, I was wondering if you could tell me a quick rundown of how you go about doing the chest, It looks to me that its simply layering GS ontop to build up the bulk or is there anything else to it?

synapse Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 no, its basically layering it. first i do basic underlayer, then the upside down triangle-y bit, then the piping Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/4/#findComment-1534712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
