Thunder_god Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hello all. Below is the mini I'm working on to be either a vet. sgt. or capt., depending on what list I am using. He probably could double for Sternguard as well. Apart from the obvious work to do such as clean up and drilling out gun barrels, I am in need of advice of what to put on his other leg. The laurel looks fine on the right, but the left looks barren. So, if y'all can make any suggestions on what should go there, I'd be extremely appreciative. For a parts breakdown, see my post in the Ultramrines Forum. Thanks in advance.

Skull_Lord Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 An amazing figure. Wheres the head from? Isnt it from the Grey Knight Tank Commander from Forge World? Paint a Crux Terminatus on the knee? GS a name-scroll on the lower leg?

ShinyRhino Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hmmm. I think you could make it stand out with just paint. Maybe give him a white kneepad? Or freehand the Ultra symbol on it? Barring that, how about strapping a holstered bolt pistol to that upper leg? Every good Marine carries a sidearm. Not sure it will fit though. The Assault Marine legs seem shorter in the thigh than tactical legs. If it won't fit, maybe some grenades on that side, or one of the scout puch kits with attached grenade?

Mal Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I dont think he needs anything other than a squad/army/campaign marking on the knee pad to make it look better, but thats all done when painting the model.

Thunder_god Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 He's going to get some grenades & a side arm most definitely. I like the idea of the scroll-work on the lower leg. I am considering putting a scabbard at his right side. I always notice we model marines with swords, but no scabbards. I have enough chain left that I should be able to make one work. Keep the ideas coming. They're really feeding me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152496-i-need-some-advice/#findComment-1776538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull_Lord Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You could also paint a small crusade badge on the outer side of the lower leg. I do that to break up the flat-ness of my marines.

aekold Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Just leave it like this and paint something on the kneepad. If you put something on there as well you might risk cluttering the model.

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 you could do a raised set of roman numbers. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152496-i-need-some-advice/#findComment-1777045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 You could find or gs a small shield onto the knee pad instead of the pad that's there now. Maybe have his company markings/roman numerals on it too?
