captain_shrike Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well, its been a while since I posted anything here, though that was never finished. The minis I posted will instead become part of my mammoth task- to raise a whole battle company along with extra elements from the 1st Company, 10th Company and 8th Company, the battle company being the IRON LORDS 5TH. This will take a very long time, and I intend to update this everytime I do something new and keep it ongoing So on the cards on the moment, which I have, are: MotF on bike Dreadnought 2 Tactical squads 2 Rhinos 2 Predators Then to be added, of which I some bits but not any of the Tanks or other vehicles(bikes&Landspeeders) are Terminator Librarian Chaplain Chapter Master 1 Honour Guard squad 2 Dreadnoughts 2 Terminator squads 1 Sternguard veteran squad 4 Tactical squads 2 Scout squads 2 Assault squads 1 Bike squadron 1 Landspeeder squadron 1 Vanguard Veteran squad 2 Devastator squads 2 Vindicators 1 Razorback 6 Rhinos 1 Land Raider Redeemer Without further a do, heres what I'm working on at the moment- My MotF. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/Photo0051.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/Photo0052.jpg The photos aren't great as they were taken on my phone(my dad has the cam), but hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do. I've cut off the riders right leg, and replaced it with a normal standing one, so that it looks like he's stopped and put his foot down to hold himself and the bike up. His foot doesn't quite touch the floor, but there'll be plasticard underneath it on the base so it will do. I'm going to paint the bike and MotF seperately. The MotF is going to be tricky to put together with the bits I'm using. Will update soon with pics of the MotF!

nighthawks Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I like the idea - just one comment so far: you have the Mk7 style biker leg from the bike kit and added a Mk6 style leg from a tac. marine - they don't match very well at all...

The Nephilim Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 If you're gonna have him in a "half in the saddle" kind of pose, please tell me you're gonna convert the bike into a chopper.

Oh crap.....i didn't see that I'm also having trouble fitting servo arms on without the bike getting in the way....I've done a bit of bending but it needs more which it can't really take..any advice would be appreciated.......

captain_shrike Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 ++UPDATE++ Heres the progess on the MotF. I've swapped the Mk 6 leg for a Mk 7, but as you can see it doesn't fit aswell. I'm deciding whether to cut and reposition the foot or just model something underneath it and around it. He's sat on the bike, but not glued, just so I can glue him together in a way that fits around the bike.....its just the plasma cutters that won't go on because of the bike being in the way. I may also remove the back rest so that it looks like he can sit on it straight without the rest getting in the way of the backpack http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/Photo0054.jpg And heres a pic of his Thunder Hammer. I used the fisty one because theres a fist in the chapter badge. Its just the bottom part of Lysanders arm and the top part of the bolter arm you get with the Tecmarine. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/Photo0059.jpg I wanted the other arm to ne holding the handlebar, but I don't think that's going to be possible. My modelling skills aren't up to sculpting an arm from scratch.

My modelling skills aren't up to sculpting an arm from scratch. pin the arm going to the side and greestuff some soft armor to fill the gap? i don't know about that helmet, seems a little bland for a master of the forge :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157538-project-armoured-forge/#findComment-1843810 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My modelling skills aren't up to sculpting an arm from scratch. pin the arm going to the side and greestuff some soft armor to fill the gap? Th angle that he was turned at was too big to do that, but noe I've fiddles around to fit in the servo arms and bacpack its not so big, so that is what I'm going to do. don't know about that helmet, seems a little bland for a master of the forge Oh that was just used for positioning the body and the way the head would go. I'm going to use an Iron Hands one. In the meantime, some Tactical marines for you to look at Tactical squad missile launcher marine http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/PICT0284-1.jpg Tactical squad marine. Bolt pistol will be sapped for a bolter http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/PICT0282-1.jpg Flamer marine http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/PICT0255.jpg Tactical squad Veteran Sergeant http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/PICT0277-1.jpg And my Chapter Master WIP Chapter Master http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/PICT0286-1.jpg Some of the base work on the master http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/PICT0287.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/captain_shrike/PICT0288.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157538-project-armoured-forge/#findComment-1843837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have used an Mk7 style Assault Marine leg so that the extended toe would touch the ground Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157538-project-armoured-forge/#findComment-1844088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entry1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Just a thought, but how about keeping the statndard biker legs and put him in a pose like he's "skidding" to a stop or around a corner both feet on the pegs. Kind of like the racing bikes take those corner almost on a knee. The model at the back of the base gives it a nice sense of movement. You could hang the hammer arm so the hammer is parralel to the ground as if it were a counter balance. IMHO this would make the model even more dynamic. Keep the torso straight forward and keep the head angled as it is now, this would allow the left arm to naturally rest on the handle bar.

Spacefrisian Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Its a nice idea but that feet seems kind off in a stranhe pose to me like he is just about to break it. As for Servo arms this is a good option. Angels of Pennance Its in dutch though but just scroll down and you can't miss it.
