Guest WG Vrox Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 So I am working on modeling a unit that represents True Grit and was looking for some ideas from all of ya. Please post pics that show's your best GH True Grit model, meaning using the Bolter in one hand while weilding a CC weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I just use bolt pistol arms and hands then cut off the BP and attach a bolter. :D The guy in the picture shows one of my 13th co. grey slayers with true grit, he's got it slung down while holding his chain sword up ready to use. ;) http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/7260/truegritgreyslayerdi6.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliw Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I want to make my new grey hunters have chainsword bayonets like in gears of war however I am unsure as to whether some players would be analy retentive in letting me use the models as grey hunters with a Bolter and close combat weapon. What do you guys think? In anycase I think that would be a cool idea in representing true grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been previous posts about true grit and how to represent it, and a lot of players have been using the bayonet method you just mentioned and they've had no trouble at all with other players using it. I say go for it, they looked pretty cool, just a combat knife on the end of the bolter. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 @Vrox: You had been stupid enough to ask for pics. So i bore you all again with my old GH pics. :) ;) http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/GreyHunter6.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/GreyHunter5.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/GreyHunter4.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/GreyHunter3.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/GreyHunter2.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/GreyHunter1.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/GreyHunter7Front.jpg At the end i used the bp and ccw arms from BC and Assault squad boxes.

Guest WG Vrox Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Ok, I wanted to post a picture of the one I have so far, but I have never done such a thing. Went looking for how to/where to upload a picture and cant find a tutorial which prob means its easy as turning a screw, I just don't know where that screw is. Does anyone have a walk through on how to post/upload a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle_Wolf Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 hello, well there is a tutorial here on how to post pics http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=141716 as well as this there is something in the librarium on how to make chainsaw bayonets for bolters, if you havent already seen it. i dont think people will mind, you might have to point it out to them so no confusion, i would actually bet more people would ask how you did it cause as you said, it is a cool ide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Darkwolf Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 all of my GH packs are representing true grit. i just buy BC boxes and use helmets, and bolters from other sprues/friends/ebay. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh264/DarkPhoenix_48/Space%20Wolves/Picture091.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailliw Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I like the pose. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurasuke Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The bolter arm seems to be posed in a very unnatural way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WG Vrox Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think if you try to imitate the pose, you will see it's pretty close to the way it should be elbow and all, here is a different angle http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/TrueGrit2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother SRM Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I typically model all my Grey Hunters with bolters in hand and one of the rather large Space Wolf knives from the accessory sprue somewhere on their armor. Usually they'll have it on their leg or waist for quick access. For Wolf Guard/power weapon guys, I just replace the bolt pistol on a bolt pistol arm with a bolter.

muzzyman1981 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Nothing special but here is one of my "True Grit" Wolves..... http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm37/muzzyman1981/Picture265.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WG Vrox Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice, Muzzy I think that gets the point accross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WG Vrox Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 ok usually I don't paint until I have the squad done but couldn't help myself. http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/TrueGrit31.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfLordLars Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Generally, I just use 'regular' marines and put a knife on them, but I was also converting up several used armies, so needed the CCW without tearing them apart. Otherwise, like Wolf, I just use the BP arm and cut and glue a bolter on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barek Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice mini mr Vrox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WG Vrox Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks Barek, working on more but will wait till I have the squad done for more pictures. I was thinking of doing a model with a Bolter and a Bolt Pistol the Bolt Pistol being the CCW. Since C: SM now allows the use of either the BG or BP in combat, would this cause issues?

Thorgrim Blackwolf Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have a 'John Woo' style Grey Hunter with Bolter and BP in one of my squads. Nobody has any issues with me using him WYSIWYG and I've had positive comments on him. He always seems to survive my games some how, maybe its his uber coolness :( :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WG Vrox Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Any chance I could get you to post a picture of him, would like to see what you did with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice work there Vrox, only thing is he's a bit too "bright" still for my taste, darken in between the raised and recess areas for a better effect, otherwise he looks more like a white consul over a Space Wolf... and we don't want that. :( Great pose too, really neat.

muzzyman1981 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Great model Vrox, gonna try different arm poses myself too with my next pack =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Paint job isn't brilliant, but here's my "John Woo" Grey Hunter: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/RSCN1592.jpg And Heres TG on my Gothic WGBL: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/vassakov/DSCN1598.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
