scruff Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Not posted for a while as the conversion I'm waiting to do is still being delayed. Still I found a box of Raptors when I was sorting through a cupboard and decided to make use of the champion. Apologies for the pics, it's a miserable grey day and my lighting is not good enough for me not to need the flash. http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1614.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1617.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1618.jpg oh and because you ight not be able to make out the chapter symbol with the jump pack in place he'll be for my Ultramarine army.

Brother Iencub Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 If he's an ultrasmurf, why does he have a DA badge? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165172-jump-pack-captain/#findComment-1943877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniman Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think it's supposed to be the the Unltra-smurf logo, but with a sword through it. Kinda like the Nid' Hunter thing without the skull.

Fausto2071 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 oh yea you can make out the 'Ω' but thats besides the point, it's a very excellent conversion~i like the use of the laurels, and those GS wing emblems are premium Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165172-jump-pack-captain/#findComment-1943933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Now with paint but lacking a jump pack, you can't have it all I suppose. It does make it easier to see the shoulder pads though which maybe weren't too clear in the first pics. http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1620.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1622.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1621.jpg still quite a bit to do but thought I'd post an update Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165172-jump-pack-captain/#findComment-1945145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messanger of Death Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I love the idea, consider it stolen for when I do a chaplain with jump pack. And at first the shoulder pad symbol did look like a DA but with the clarification and especially the paint it looks very UM. And your simple but neat GS makes the model look like a loyalist rather then a traitor. Look forward to the completetion fo the model. Though curious as to how you plan on finishing off the base (espeically the 'flame'). Cheers, Messanger N.B what is it that you sculpted onto the other shoulder pack, is it an UM specific symbol?

scruff Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 It's the UM chapter symbol with an iron halo sculted over the top, not too clear from the pictures but should look better once painted. Not too sure about the flames myself either, was toying with the idea of cracking out the greenstuff and sculpting some ruined masonry over the top, open to suggestions though if anyone has ideas.

Messanger of Death Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I thought maybe do it as a natural (red/orange) flame with like burnt grass or stone around it. Burn the heretics. Thought could do several other things like make it a chaotic flame (like fighting on a daemon planet, or interupting a summoning). Could make it the natural flames found on a planet maybe. Or could make it really long grass (though might be a bit odd with that one).

blood_raven_240 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I love the idea, consider it stolen. Consider it stolen twice, then. :lol: I'm already scouring the web for a Raptors Squad! ^_^ What you've done so far with your JPChaplain is an inspiration. Best of luck with finishing the project, I hope it goes brilliantly.

scruff Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 A couple more pics, almost there now and working on the jump pack. The laurel hasn't photographed too well but the definition is better on the actual model. http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1623.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1624.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165172-jump-pack-captain/#findComment-1945306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My one concern with the model now - with that last shot - is the 8-Pointed Star of Chaos on his left Shoulder Pad? Otherwise, good progress ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165172-jump-pack-captain/#findComment-1945313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruff Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Is a representation of the iron halo, often painted (in this case sculpted) onto a marines armour as a red device. I think Sicarius has one, albeit with a great big skull in the middle.

Master Commander Ajax Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Great work! love the GS work and the paint job. How did you get the laurel on his helmet to sit flat against the surface? I would love to do something like that with a few of my marines.

scruff Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I broke it by accident and that seemed to help. The laurel is actually in two parts, broken where the leaves meet the central part of the laurel, this helps it sit flatter and only requires a small piece of green stuff to cover the gap and be sculpted to look like another piece of the central band. And no worries blood_raven_240 it does indeed have eight points and look a bit star like, maybe it's the influence of the original chaos model making itself known <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165172-jump-pack-captain/#findComment-1945347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruff Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Pretty much just the base to go now but that will most likely have to wait for tommorow, so here goes the last update of the day. http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1625.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1626.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1627.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165172-jump-pack-captain/#findComment-1945615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
