Pig Of Sparta Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 just a wee sketch for you all, done once again during a boring shift at work: mark vii f/d variant helm: http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/foamdome.jpg mainly for ceremonial use particularly after battles, the mark vii f/d (foam dome) variant helm has also seen action in many warzones as it's popularity has grown. The result of extensive research and collaberation by several chapter's Techmarines and Forgemasters, this helmet allows a Marine to carry his favourite beverages with him at all times, with the added advantage of being able to partake of said beverages at his convenience. After action reports have confirmed that this is fast becoming a favoured, if not prefered helmet for many strike forces and companies alike. ^_^ c&c welcome James Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153178-artwork-new-astartes-mark-vii-fd-variant-helmet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 @vash113: whilst I do have a place in my heart for Russ's finest, I maintain, steadfastly I might add, that it wasn't just them :P @terminatorinhell: if I get some spare time, I might just do that, I think I've got a couple of flamers that could donate their promethium tanks.

Pig Of Sparta Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Couple of new doodles for you.... First up, the less than lethal mark xiv powerfist: http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/noveltyfist.jpg And then, for all a space marine's DIY needs: http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/thundermallet.jpg I present the thunder mallet. Got a picture you need hanging? A tent you need to put up? Some dents to knock out of your APC? you need the thunder mallet! *with handy 'd' ring for hanging from your tool belt.

Varney Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 The mallet is actually quite awesome. A fine crushing power weapon, to be sure!

Brother Cambrius Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hahahaha! :lol: Genius Pig of Sparta. :tu: The Thunder Mallet looks great! That's how we Space Marines crack walnuts during Xmas! Have you considered making a rattler?

Brother Vespasian Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I love the Thunder Mallet. Thunder Mallet- a space marine general repair tool, roughly the size of an Imperial Guard's torso useful, for the daily work of a space marine- such as fixing the dents in his chainsword, setting up his tent, nailing litanies into the chaplain's armor, and assisting in the repair of rhinos. Invented by Imperial Fist artificer Roland Stern after being hit in the head by an Iron Warrior's thunder hammer and wanting a smaller hammer, that wasn't so slow. Hope that's a good definition for this awesome "Thunder Mallet" Brother Vespasian Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153178-artwork-new-astartes-mark-vii-fd-variant-helmet/#findComment-1789075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 @Brother Vespasian: that's a perfect description for the Thunder Mallet, thanks mate :) @Brother Cambrius: cheers, I'll try to keep stuff like this coming, feel free to come up with descriptions/histories if I don't. Btw what's a rattler? (if that's a dumb question I apologise) I can't make one cause I don't know what one is :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153178-artwork-new-astartes-mark-vii-fd-variant-helmet/#findComment-1789217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
