Wraithwing Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The Dark Angels army gets bigger. In a slight change to my 1500 pts Dark Angels list, I decided that I'd love to take a Company Master and Command Squad in a Rhino in my force. To be honest, I just wanted to build a plastic Company Master! :D So, here are the pics: I've tried to capture a sense of forward momentum, as if he's errupting from his Rhino to smash into the bad guys. I think the elongated purity seals add to that feeling. The accompanying Command Squad will all be using the Dark Angel running bodies when complete too. Anyway, let me know what you think. C&C are always welcome. Cheers, WW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144180-dark-angels-company-master-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think it looks good. Where did you get the skull vent backpack? I'm not a fan of the DA helmet wings, but that's purely personal pref.

I'm not a fan of the DA helmet wings, but that's purely personal pref. Its on the DA Vet sprue. As for the head, I've always liked the winged helm, but its not glued in yet, so if anyone comes up with a better suggestion, I can try it out.

Scar Weaver Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Teats LMAO! I hope this is some kind of joke. Anyway, love the mini! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144180-dark-angels-company-master-wip/#findComment-1671132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicili Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I don't know if its just me or what, but the left arm seems a bit weird to me. Him holding out his arm to his side like that doesn't seem natural to me. I think i would either rotate it up so its over his head, or move it towards the front, like the shoulder joint inward so he's putting the blade in front of him in more of a "charge" stance. Right now I can't see a commander just holding a sword straight up in the air from his side. Other than that, I love this model! I think he will turn out great!

Son of dorn Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 My opinion is that it looks good the way it is, one thing i can sujest with the plasma pistol is to make it twin-linked using two plasma pistols side by side and fill the gaps with gs and put the scope in the middle. This can represent it being master crafted and diferent looking from all the other plasma pistols in the army.

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 IMO the more crusader style head from the comand box with the wings would look better.

Wraithwing Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 IMO the more crusader style head from the comand box with the wings would look better. Funny you should say that. I've been thinking about heads, and theres a crusader style head on the Ravenwing sprue. If I remove its targeter abd add the wings, I think it would look loads better. I'm at work now, will sling it together and update the pics when I get home.

Wraithwing Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Right, I've whipped up another helm, and I like this one waaay better than the last.

Korloth Darkwolf Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Great use of the DA vets and Ravenwing Sprues. There are so many good pieces on them (I have 90 robed marines to finish!). The left arm is good as is and the running robes give a great sense of motion.

lord_bunny Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 funking awsome! I love him, very dark angels! one minor thing, to keep up that feeling of motion, tilt those rolled up scrolls a bit, it will really finish the look.

Mal Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 my only greif with this mini is that plasma pistol.... it just doesn't look ornate enough to be master crafted, also you have the scope on the induction coils... that would melt the bracket right off the very first time he pulls the trigger.... I'd suggest taking that pistol off and mabey elongating it a bit, also you could extend the tab at teh back of teh coils to give a place to mount the scope.

Wraithwing Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I quite like the Plasma Pistol tbh, as it is the one from the Commander sprue. Theres a bit of text on the outward facing side which looks nice and Master Crafty, but I'm not actually fielding it as such, so its no biggie. Thanks for the feedback so far anyway guys, I'm currently working on an Asmodai conversion, so watch this space.

Doghouse Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Looks great mate! Nice use of the Dark Angel parts and the new helmet looks really nice! ;) The sight could be explained away if it is attached to the rear of the pistol housing and covers part of the coils so that's no bigger. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Azreal mate!

DiStudios Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The helm change is a big improvement, gives a much more knightly feel to the figure, good decision ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144180-dark-angels-company-master-wip/#findComment-1673416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
