The Strange Dude Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 So here is my attempt at an all plastic jump chaplain http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh267/strangedude7/047.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh267/strangedude7/049-1.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh267/strangedude7/050.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh267/strangedude7/051-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexenes Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Outstanding! The (I presume scratch built) Crozius looks mean! Did you convert the helmet from a regular SM helmet, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Strange Dude Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 helmet is a CSM one I found lying around and the crozius is a DA mace arm with the top removed and replaced with a banner top from the sm commander boxset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyx Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Nice job. Pieces are well put together on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 looks realy good I would drill out the barrel on the BP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glayvin34 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Very good. It's impressive when a modeler can incorporate bits that I've painted and used but don't recognize because they fit so well with the overall motif of the piece. You did that very well with the helmet and crozius/ banner top. Did you use any GS at all on this model? Where did you get all those skulls (chest, shoulderpad and shin) if not?

The Strange Dude Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 No GS (my skills in that department are fine if you want a fingerprint covered blob) the skulls were all from a tombkings chariot front piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You can cross out the word 'attempt' in your first post brother. This is a great mini, well executed, well painted, well posed and the bits fit together seamlessly. It looks like it was built from a 'plastic chaplain with jump pack kit', rather than assembled from bits. Aside from the wee niggle about the bolt pistol barrel not being drilled out, this is a 10/10 mini :o. I would be proud to have that in my collection, and I should think there'll be a fair few other people who would too :o James +Edit+ just spotted the mould line on the front of the bolt pistol as well. I you can I'd suggest backscrtaching that off and repainting it, as once you spot it, it kinda stays there. That's my only other niggle though and everything else I said still stands +Edit+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfox1990 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Completely agree with all the positive comments from everyone else so far. The blend of pieces from different races and even between Fantasy and 40k is truely exceptional. Something you should be very proud of. I like the pose, painting and detailing on the model a great deal. My one and only gripe is the BP. Removing the mold lines and maybe drilling it out will take the model to the level it really deserves to be at. Overall great work :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drathmere Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 outstanding! I am going to raid my chaos bits box now looking for that head! Lemartes v2.0 here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Steele Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That is a really impressive model. If i'm right, the crozius was made from the handle of a dark angels veteran power mace, and a banner top. Well posed, as well, looks as if it's signalling an assault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood515 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i really love this and think its great! i might have to do this if i find myself in need of a chaplain - i tend to favour plastic conversions over expensive set-pose metal models. i think the banner top of the two-headed eagle with large folded wings perching on a skull would have also worked very well as its almost exact to some of the metal chaplains' crozius heads. +_+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
