SoulReaver296 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well, i got tired of using the BC Stern model to represent my GM (especially since most GK players i know use it), so i decided to make one, and here is what i have so far. http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3701/1000503.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1338/1000505x.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/43/1000508.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2847/1000512.jpg Just a terminator chaplain with the head drilled out and replaced with a head from the black templar upgrade kit, GKT arms added, and one of the scrolls glued to a chain that hangs freely around the waist. still need to grind off some of the details, and need some advise 1. the head... sit deeper in the body? different head? 2. the iron halo (included in chaplain blister)... over head, over body, or none (too SMish)? http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9294/headu.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/6263/bodyo.jpg 3. the back... grind it off to where it does on the GKT? leave it be? 4. does it LOOK GKish enough? and here's the poor fellow who did the arm donation... didn't have any spare terminator arms (let alone any TH/SS bits), so i just threw together some stuff (this is temperary, will be replaced with cleaner parts later when not so busy) http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7489/1000524.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164061-grand-mast-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyEntropy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Personally, I think you'd be best off using the standard GK termie head and then adding the Iron Halo (great idea!). Could I get a look at what the setup in pic #6 looks like from the back? If you're dead set on using the head you've got, maybe consider having it rest a tiny amount farther back? Before you do that, however, try adjusting the angle of the helmet so that he's looking up or straight ahead, level with the ground.

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Great idea! The head look just fine for me (maybe just use some GS to add 2 more vent on it like on the GKT). But the real chain look to big compare to the fake one's on the model. For the Halo, I vote for it on top of the armour, not the head! whatever you finally do with him, post him again when painted!

SoulReaver296 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 what i may end up doing is the terminator head conversion (the one with the one pic tutorial), and use one of those... but i'll have to bit order some (along with TH/SS arms), that would do well... and i'll see if i can find lighter chain (this is just a mock up for input, was going to anyway) will post the back with halo later today Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164061-grand-mast-wip/#findComment-1929126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuchinawa Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Oh I kinda liked the halo in the first pic (behind his head not over it) What I would suggest also is a sword arm. No better yet! Take the halberd arm that is outstreched and use that. (you know the other helberd that comes in the gktermy box) It'll look like he's scanning the battle for mutants and deamons Just my 2 cents. Looking good! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164061-grand-mast-wip/#findComment-1929379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMOLISHER Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well, i got tired of using the BC Stern model to represent my GM (especially since most GK players i know use it)...Just a terminator chaplain with the head drilled out and replaced with a head from the black templar upgrade kit, GKT arms added, and one of the scrolls glued to a chain that hangs freely around the waist. still need to grind off some of the details, and need some advise 1. the head... sit deeper in the body? different head? The converted head looks good too me, just get the mold line off it. ^_^ 2. the iron halo (included in chaplain blister)... over head, over body, or none (too SMish)? I like it better with out. 3. the back... grind it off to where it does on the GKT? leave it be? Well he is the Grand master right? :huh: He should have some extra details! :) 4. does it LOOK GKish enough? I would like too see the extra chain ditched, it just detracts from the model IMHO. :D I'll have you know that you have given me a horrible itch too do a similar conversion now. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164061-grand-mast-wip/#findComment-1930454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidoneus Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I agree with everything DEMOLISHER said, except for the head. I don't like it, personally. It's not that it doesn't look Grey Knight-y enough; it's that it doesn't look like a termy head. It's too small, and lacks that distinct terminator look. I'd say try to get a GK termy head on there, or convert one from a regular terminator head (there's a nice tutorial on this site somewhere). Failing that, I'd have to say go helmetless. The power armour head just looks out of place. Otherwise, a solid conversion. Quite nice. In fact, I'm tempted to bogart your idea myself.

Marid Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It looks pretty good so far. One thing I don't like is the scale of the chain around his waist. I think it is too large and makes the model look small in comparison instead of grand. The head is plain, but I don't particularly mind the size.

SoulReaver296 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Alright, its been a while... swaped the head with a converted SM terminator head for a more traditional GKT look, have removed the scroll for now till i find a lighter chain, added the halo over the "lip" over the head, and have started preliminary painting when i realized i don't know what color to make the tabbard. thoughts? (will post current model much later when i get my camera back...)
