Pig Of Sparta Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Ooh I love that typhus style helmet, where is it from? It's Typhus's head with the horn clipped off. I bought a few of them before GW stopped selling bits :P. I do have a couple of other shouting bare heads but they're the one's from the plastic commander box with the targeter/bionic eye. They're both being paintstripped just now so I'll take a photo later on.

Pig Of Sparta Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Again, sorry for the double post but I finished the paint stripping of the bare head this morning, so I've another photo to get some opinions on... http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/h-3.jpg I'm now kind of torn between using this head and the Typhus helmet, I'm thinking of painting up both and seeing what looks best, or I suppose I could interchange them as necessary :teehee:. The banner may or may not stay. As I've said before I'm not the biggest fan of banners on space marines, but since doing Captain Orar, I've developed a sort of grudging respect for them, mainly because they add a bit more room to show off on the mini, and because sometimes, they work, adding to the mini unstead of sticking up in the air and saying 'aim lascannon/barbed strangler/gauss cannon/etc here'. If the banner doesn't stay, I'll probably go with having just the iron halo instead. please feel free to leave c&c, I've said before and will again, people posting here helps me drive projects forward so don't be shy :) James Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158120-tabarded-terminator/page/2/#findComment-1857166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Its tight... betwen Typhus and the bare head, but I think Typhus should be the winner, it looks a lot meaner. I'm with you on the banner, I think it should go and just leave the Halo.

Captain Mick Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Typhus as choice indeed, the model looks really nice already good job ;). Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158120-tabarded-terminator/page/2/#findComment-1857234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Typhus's head it is then :lol:. Think I'll paint the banner up and see how it looks on him, I've got a half painted iron halo I can finish up and use if the banner doesn't work out. Now on to the colour scheme! I'm thinking of doing him as an Imperial Fist, but with darker armour instead of bright yellow. http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/i-3.jpg I did this as a colour study and although it needs a tidy up coat of tau sept ochre I though would look quite good as a suitable 'dark yellow' if it was highlighted with vomit brown and bleached bone. The tabard would be red to contrast with the yellow armour and the crux terminatus on the shin and shoulder pad would be grey/stone coloured, or maybe do the helmet red with a white stripe and have the tabard a pale cream colour. I'm not sure though so I could use a few opinions on please. Painting will probably commence next week as I'm going away on holiday tomorrow ;) but fear not, a photo update will be here as soon as I start painting him.

DibbZi Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 option 1, pre-heresy (Typhus's) style helmet:http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/d-4.jpg I think this one looks the best, to get a visualization of the bare head you would have to place it on the termi but the model that it is on now looks too good to scoop it from. I agree this helm looks quite good, with the over all look of the mini.
