Psythu Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Haven't done much work on my marines in a little while, but I'm hoping to get back into them now. I want my sternguard to be rather scaly, like my assault terminators but less terminatory. The big challenges here are the much smaller size of tactical marines to terminators (I'm really not all that awesome at sculpting), and making lizard helmets that're quite clearly helmets. So far I've got the legs half done, and made prototype combi flamer/melta guns. I'm gonna hate myself so much for this when it's time to paint all those scales. http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/2967/sternguardwip01webwt2.jpg http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6204/sternguardwip02webgw4.jpg Thoughts?

Snozz Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Looks good, I like those scales. The combi weapons are ok, but seem messy. And slightly wonky. But the scales are awesome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormDragon Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The scales look great. :lol: But the combi weapons don't seem to be big and bulky enough. I know they are only single shot and maybe it's just that the GW combi weapons seem to be the full melta with a bolter strapped to it. I think you need to bulk out the hand grip on the bottom of the bolter and maybe move the clip down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 i'd agree that the combi weapons aren' as bulky as the gw standard ones, but don't forget that slamanders are meant to be real artisans so i think a slender/ sleeker look is quite fitting with the fluff and feel of the army. loving the scales btw, and i saw a painted guy of yours... just awesome :lol: i'll be keeping my peepers on this Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Since they're Sternguard, how about some dragon-scale cloaks as well? I humbly suggest that the DE Corsair cloak, if attached just below the backpack mounting block, are just about perfect. You'll have to cut it down to get the length right, mind you. But that would fit in with the legs and mark them out even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironblood Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 To me it is reminiscent of the old school "cracked" chaos armor that people used to do a lot in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishman Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Looking good, I like it. I'd have to agree with Paladins7221's comment about the DE cloaks, apparently they are v.good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would fit in with the legs and mark them out even more. Not a bad idea, I'm looking into that. I've done the other legs, so now all they need is a little tidying up. I've also done their torsos - nothing's quite as manly as a broad, scaly chest. http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7157/sternguardwip03webtw1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulfgarr Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Really liking the way the torso and legs are looking!I think they are very nicely sculpted.Maybe on a few you could sculpt where it looks like they have "lizard like feet",like with talons or such.Cant wait to see more.

Ferrus Manus Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looking good, just tell me your not going to dress them in long, white lab coats. Then have them regrowing an arm everytime they put their armour on :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I really love the scales and wish you would tell us how you made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 i like chapters like the salamanders, for the fact that they can have such cool modifications like that, that look great but are some what simple to do. that looks awesome, are you going to have the uper legs done too? and what about shoulders/arms?
