GeneralStukov Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hey Synapse! Good to see you're still workin on them! I've followed your progress on warseer and I'm drooling! I have to say tho (and I need to brush up on my fluff) but isnt the chaplain supposed to be the unseeing word of the emperor? therefor they RARELY take off their helm? I do like the model but I think maybe a skullhelm might work better but depending on how you're conversion is done it may be too much work to salvage it if you decide that it does need a skull helm. I love the army and I've had an idea for another squad/trooper of yours if you're willing to listen. I can't remember what page the Arny list was on that you posted but Jump troops, Pre-Heresy World eaters just scream jump troops! (if you're already working on some ignore this) I just see one trooper striding on the tops of its fallen victims to give it a really interesting scale comparison in one marine. I love all your work and have even planned on doing some models of my own for Iron Souls which brings me to my next question. Can you PM me with where you happen to get your bitz for your marines? Also lastly, did you plan on doing a devastator squad? I love your heavy weapons marines but then again I'm unsure if dev marines would fit in with the theme you're going for of close combat monsters, which trust me... they are! *Worships* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veahirin Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Still looking great. I tried your link and I got an error. Sup with that? -V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralStukov Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I have to ask Synapse, Ya got a suggestion on using normal marine arms? I'm not gonna get my bitz in for... (brace yourselves) ..a bit... Im thinking just bulking up the shoulders and arms a bit more may help then filing it down well enough so its smooth...

synapse Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 well you can always use normal marine arms/shoulder pads, but i think that with terminator legs (especially if theyre made longer) they might look too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synapse Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 well ive fixed the knees and added the gothic arch piece with the top-most skull to the actual shim plates, which fixes that foul-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralStukov Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 awesome work bro, you're a constant inspiration! Your guide is idiot proof (me being the idiot) so any word on if it will have the trademark skull of the chaplain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Excellent job on the scouts mate, they're coming along nicely and I look forward to seeing the first one finished. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother Hastatus Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The last attempt at the scout legs is the best I think. And I love the chaplain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contaminus Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Pre-Heresy WE Dread Lorg Pre-Heresy WE Dread Poarth Pre-Heresy Sons of Horus Dread A selection of images from the Horus-Heresy CCG to give you an idea of what the dread should look like/be called/be painted. (The Sons of Horus shows the leg parts well). Also, what does a chaplain do pre-heresy when there's no religion? :) The best true-scaling I have ever seen though. They are really amazing and f****ng intimidating for an opponent I bet. The painting is great too. I'll be keeping track of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would help me quite a bit with how i do it as ive seen your white and like it. well base was pure astro grey - maybe 2-3 thinned coats to get a good even flat finish. then 4:1 astro:white, feathered onto the base 3:1 astro white, again, feathered 2:1 astro white. yep, you got it, feathered 1:1 " 1:2 " 1:3 " 1:4 " then a few more for good measure, applied as normal highlights of course you can skip a few stages, especially if its feathered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 update! so the torso is kinda finished @(i just need to go over it again once its dry to make sure both sides are the same size and smooth, but im really pleased with it. it looks a bit big for now, but scout armour is high at the shoulders... yeah, thats my justification! yeah, thats it! hes gonna be shooting to the side with his right hand (silenced Bp) and holding a chain sword straight sown in the left. i lso need to sort out whats gonna be on his chest (no eagles!) and he will ahve the traditional scout rebreather pipe thing on the top of the gorget too, just not yet... http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1137.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1138.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1139.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1140.jpg C&C as always welcome!

Pulse Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Fantastic work mate, good to see you keeping the traditional scout rebreathe, a nice touch. Great work on the torso as well, looks quite bulky without the arms but i love it. Only crit i can give is the head, i can't see scouts wearing bandana. Looks far to cheap and too hollywood.

synapse Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 damn unexpected relatives ruined my sculpting day so the scout is not finished yet... Grrr though i did manage to get the wire-work done on the arms: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1144.jpg taking ionto account the act that the fluff im devising for the scouts has them as true-marines rather than neophytes (which explains the slightly bigger chest armour than you'd usually expect, he's spot on size wise.
