Cpl_Saint Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Veteran Brother Eumon: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/Untitled-1copy-3.jpg Brother Eumon is shown here directing the fire of his brethren. Note the jury-rigged steel plate across the vulnerable piping of the Mark II armour, and the black halo encircling the inverted omega of the Ultramarines on his Thunder Armour belt buckle. This represents the fleet of Macragge, and indicates Eumon has crewed a starship. Numerous medallions, honorifics and details cover his breastplate: his right as a veteran. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/IMG_0548.jpg Eumon's personal heraldry shows the diagonal split of Calth, with a gold and black cogged background indicating his support by one of the Techniclans. This is surmounted by a red Iron Halo, marking him out as a squad leader. Note the sheaf of Meditation Notes pinned to the shoulder pauldron and calf. Peculiar to the Ultramarines, these notes are hand-scriven copies of the Primarch's teachings; copied out by the marine for inspiration and to focus the individual's efforts. Most importantly, Guilliman's Meditation Notes ritually bind the individual to the squad, the squad to the company, and the company to the Legion, ensuring that each marine knows his vital role in the workings of the Great Crusade. The act of scrivening is an important ritual to the Ultramarines, helping them to focus their minds on the immediate task at hand, and many carry favourite quotations, inscribed on toughened leather, into battle. This serves to remind them to drive for success, courage and honour. Two sets of Meditations mark Eumon out as particularly devoted to the teachings of the Primarch. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/IMG_0549.jpg This angle shows the Legion heraldry - the inverted Omega of the Ultramarines. Inside this is the squad number. To the lower left is the Chapter number (in this case, 15), and to the lower right is the squad designation: tactical. Note also Eumon's personalised boltgun, inscribed with 'Calth'. Numerous members of the Fifteenth Chapter were drawn from the militaristic areas of Calth, which gave the Chapter its honorific: The Praetors of Calth. In Eumon's case, he is almost certainly a Terran veteran, and this boltgun casing may have been granted to him by an admiring artificer, as a personal gift from one of his brethren, or as an honour granted by his Captain on his promotion to squad leader.

Lord-Commander Macarian Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Without doubt a fantastic model, my only comment would be that the bolter looks somewhat plain compared to the rest of the model, it's just a normal bolter with calth written over it. That said it's inspiring work :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148242-squad-leader-eumon/#findComment-1720426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 i dont really like the bolter either. you could give him the bolter from the command squad sprue, it looks more ornate i also like the name plate on the base, something i usually despise he looks really realistic, like he'll jump right at me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148242-squad-leader-eumon/#findComment-1720461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl_Saint Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks for all the feedback! ;) the bolter looks somewhat plain compared to the rest of the model, it's just a normal bolter with calth written over it. i dont really like the bolter either.you could give him the bolter from the command squad sprue, it looks more ornate I'm trying to keep the details fairly plain because there's going to be an army of 'em: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/DSCN0359.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148242-squad-leader-eumon/#findComment-1721519 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evapilotone Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I really do need to try this "true scaling" using Terminators at some point. Even just to faff about with, they would look awesome on display.

cathar the great Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 the group shot is really impressive still, I don't see why he shouldn't have a more outstanding Bolter than his friends ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148242-squad-leader-eumon/#findComment-1721650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I love this. So much so I went and found your Warseer thread and read it from start to end. I love the writing style you use - the fluff accompanying every picture and commenting on the various modifications really interests me, and makes me think of the Imperial Armour books (and the sort of books you get for historical conflicts.) Very interesting. I hope that we see more soon! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148242-squad-leader-eumon/#findComment-1722242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash113 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Those have got to be some of the cleanest true scale conversions I've seen and I love all the little details on Eumon, really adds to the character of the model!

Ompfris Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 nice model, im sure the squad will look great too! I like the boltgun for what it is - QUOTE: this boltgun casing may have been granted to him by an admiring artificer, as a personal gift from one of his brethren, or as an honour granted by his Captain on his promotion to squad leader of course its plain.... like the story, gave a great insight into just one man, but at the same time... every marine... nice work!

Zeller Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Now those are Space Marines. Brother Eumon is exactly as one could imagine a marine would be. Words cannot describe the greatness of your work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148242-squad-leader-eumon/#findComment-1722582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Richard Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I have to agree with the opinions already posted, this is great work. I don't like names on bases, I have yet to find my name lying on the battlefield. His armor already gives a full story. Please give a tutorial on the helmet !! Keep up the great work and show us a squad pic when they are done.
